The fair began, as is traditional, with an introduction from Chancellor Angela Merkel, here with President Dilma Vana Rousseff of Brazil, this year's partner country.Photo: DPA
Rousseff then looked on doubtfully as Merkel went and dipped a tablet computer into a fish tank. The chancellor didn't care though.Photo: DPA
There were some spectacular sights at the fair, including a pole-dancing robot in high-heels. Not sure what it's for, but hey, it's a pole-dancing robot! In high-heels!Photo: DPA
And how about some goal-line technology. And an innovative glass football, which could revolutionise the beautiful game.Photo: DPA
Soon, gamers will control games with their eyes. And human society will finally be over.Photo: DPA
And it's not just tablets that you'll dip in water in the future. Thanks to these amazing, futuristic multi-coloured plastic bags, you can throw anything you like in a fish tank.Photo: DPA
Not all robots end up as pole-dancers. The lucky ones go to art school and make a living sketching tourists.Photo: DPA
But in the end, all robots grow old, and scientists have to push them along with special sticks.Photo: DPA
It was a great year at CeBIT - see you in 2013!Photo: DPA
