A Look at Tomorrow's Technology

By Jonathan Sidener
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

Yahoo software developer Dan Theurer set up his Bluetooth phone yesterday to communicate with his blog, as did several friends and colleagues attending ETech, an emerging-technology conference at the San Diego Marriott Hotel & Marina.

In one of many admittedly geeky demonstrations at the three-day conference that ended March 5th, the wireless Bluetooth phones detected one another in the conference meeting rooms and formed an impromptu social network. Theurer could see lists of blogs read by the others in the temporary network.

At the seventh annual ETech, there's less worry about what sticks to the wall and more focus on having something cool to throw. The conference is a gathering of more than 1,200 programmers, engineers, executives, hackers, academics and others trying to chart the course of technology.

Etech 2008

March 3-6 2008, San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina

Now in its seventh year, the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference hones in on the ideas, projects, and technologies that the alpha geeks are thinking about, hacking on, and inventing right now, creating a space for all participants to connect and be inspired. ETechs past have covered peer-to-peer networks to person-to-person mobile messaging, web services to weblogs, big-screen digital media to small-screen mobile gaming, hardware hacking to content remixing. We've hacked, blogged, ripped, remixed, tracked back, and tagged to the nth. Expect much of what you see in early form here to show up in the products and services you're taking for granted in the not-too-distant future.

ETech balances blue-sky theorizing with practical, real-world information and conversation. Tutorials and breakout sessions will help you inject inspiration into your own projects, while keynotes and hallway conversation will spark enough unconventional thinking to change how you see your world.

Tim O'Reilly bills the conference as a gathering of “alpha geeks,” the innovators who spawn companies such as Google or MySpace.
