Whither Tech Future?

Tim Chambers writes "This is shameless self-promotion for my story at Kuro5hin: Whither Tech Future?. Kuro5hin is talking about the tech future on the front page. I say it looks disappointing, at least for the next 10 years when compared with the past 10." While Tim does link to Techdirt in the story, I think he misses the point of my earlier comments. I'm actually very optimistic about technology's future, and think there are a ton of cool things coming pretty soon. He's of the belief that what we have now is "good enough" and there aren't any killer apps coming to move us forward. My complaints aren't about the future of technology, per se, but the future of how businesses create and sell technology.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
