The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)TM revealed the latest class of honorees that will be inducted into its 2016 Consumer Technology (CT) Hall of Fame. The CT Hall of Fame, created in 2000, pays tribute to the leaders who have advanced innovation and developed a foundation for the consumer technologies we enjoy today and others still to come.

"The CT Hall of Fame celebrates our rich history of innovation," said CTA President and CEO Gary Shapiro. "This year's class represents leaders who laid the cornerstones for many of today's hottest products and trends - from immersive television delivered where and when we want, to the developer of the wireless Bluetooth standard that we rely on daily to exchange data over short distances. From a satellite-based navigation system to the early days of the smart home and video games, these leaders followed their visions creating, selling, distributing and promoting products that improve consumers' lives."

The 2016 class includes inventors with an idea, business executives, a distributor with distinctive strategies to bring accessories to store shelves, a retailer who marketed these products and a journalist that explained how technology works. The class also includes two teams who combined their individual efforts to make a lasting contribution to the industry:

Visionary Retailer: Sidney Cooper - Silo

Father of Bluetooth: Dr. Jaap Haartsen - Ericsson

Prominent Distribution Pioneer: Davis Lorsch - DBL Distributing

Transformational Technologist: Chuck Pagano - ESPN

Legendary Journalist: Steve Smith - TWICE Magazine

Home Automation Developer: Joel Spira - Lutron

Pioneering Accessories Executive: Nat Tiffen - The Tiffen Company

Video Game Futurist: Hiroshi Yamachi - Nintendo

Renowned GPS Developers: Norm Hunt, Ed Tuck, Don Rea - Magellan

Distinguished Digital HDTV Grand Alliance Leaders

Dr. Peter Bingham, Phillips Labs President;

Jim Carnes, Sarnoff Labs CEO;

Dr. Curt Crawford, AT&T Microelectronics President;

Dr. Jae Lim, MIT Professor;

Jerry Pearlman, Zenith Electronics CEO; and

Donald Rumsfeld, General Instrument CEO.

The inductees were selected by a group of media and industry professionals, who judged the nominations submitted by manufacturers, retailers and industry journalists. The 2016 honorees will be inducted into the CT Hall of Fame in New York at an awards dinner to be held on Wednesday, November 9, at the Rainbow Room.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
