Tech Entrepreneurs Pick Top 10 Tech Trends

In the world of high technology, whatever's out now is never as interesting as what's coming in the future. The same goes for investing in tech companies, and last week, some of the world's top tech innovators and entrepreneurs got together to talk about what they think is coming next. The select group discussed issues a little more weighty than 3G iPhone speculation. The group is called the Churchill Club, and it's composed of representatives from Silicon Valley's finest.
The speakers at the event were related to the funding side of things -- in other words, they are venture capitalists trying to figure out the "next big thing" they should dump their money into. Top on the list, trend-wise, was the expanding of the demographics of tech -- more gadgets and technologies that duplicate the success that Nintendo's Wii has had in the senior community, for example. Other trends discussed included expanding the mobile phone into a mini personal computer replacement, evolving technology to reduce water usage, and, as always, anything having to do with alternative sources for energy.
The conference didn't cover not much of a vision as to what the next new hotness gadget that will be gracing pockets this fall, but if you're looking for a place to make some investments, you might want to click the link and see what the Churchill Club has to say. [Source: Tech Trader Daily]
