LAS VEGAS (CNN) -- Judging by a preview event at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, one big gadget trend this year will be sensors that track almost everything in your daily life.

There are sensors to track your home, your security systems, your pets, your plants, your weight and, in the case of a new "smart fork," even how fast you eat.

CES, the world's biggest electronics trade show, officially opens its doors Tuesday and runs through Friday. But at Sunday's preview event here, select companies offered the first real peek at what kinds of products we're likely to see the most over the week.

CNN picked out 5 of the more fun items, including the "HAPIfork."  CLICK HERE to check them out.

Helps to read the story, because the new fork will track HOW FAST YOU EAT. There is no way it can track what you eat and how many calories & fat you're ingesting with each bite. We're told to eat slowly to control our intake, but there are many times that we're not given enough time to sit and eat slowly, especially our kids in the school lunchrooms.

Wow, I guess Big Brother needs some help in watching everything we do. I know what goes in my mouth without a fork telling me. Besides, a fork will only cover some of what you eat. You don't use one to eat hamburgers, french fries, chips, ice cream, get where I'm goin?
