At the Churchill Club: The Top 10 Tech Trends

May 15, 2008 at 12:01 am PT

I’m at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, Calif., tonight, for the Churchill Club’s annual Top 10 Tech Trends Dinner. This is the club’s 10th annual tech trend panel. Making the picks:

Steve Jurvetson, Draper Fisher Jurvetson.
Vinod Khosla, Khosla Ventures.
Josh Kopelman, First Round Capital.
Roger McNamee, Elevation Partners.
Joe Schoendorf, Accel Partners.
Tony Perkins, of Always On, is the moderator.

Perkins, McNamee, Jurvetson and Schoendorf have done this before. Kopelman and Khosla are the panel newbies.

Lots of mobile phone predictions. Green energy. Water. And more phones.

Here’s the pundits’ list of trends, with some responses from their fellow panelists.

About Voices

Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.

We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
