We recently did an episode, Our Top 10 Emerging Tech Predictions for 2024, to explore what might happen in Tech this year.
We thought it would be fun to see what has taken place so far this year and whether we were on point or not.
Here were our original predictions:
- AI disappears behind the scenes
- AI resurrects old and hard to use Tech
- Everyone will be a video influencer
- Media Tech will evolve FAST
- "New" Tech Innovation wi...
Happy New Year!
Ready for some Emerging Tech predictions for 2024? Well, don't worry we're happy to be wrong and contrarian.
We considered this a fun thought exercise for posterity sake to see where our head and hearts were.
In fact, some of these predictions are already beginning to poke their head up through the cracks of reality.

This episode is an initial exploration of real world examples of Technology used for social good.
While researching our last episode, 6 Ways to Use Tech For Good, we came across a paper by McKinsey, a famous consultancy, called Tech for Good: Smoothing disruption, improving well being.
The paper covers topics like core definitions of technology and well-being, how to measure the impact of technology, challenges and an overview of co...
On this episode we explore using Tech for good, socially, economically and philosophically speaking.
This show was originally inspired by a talk, How to make learning as addictive as social media, from Luis Von Ahn, CEO of Duolingo, a popular language learning app.
In a world of manipulative uses of AI and Algorithms, this perspective was quite refreshing.
He encourages us to take the lessons of today and...
On this episode we discuss Qortal, a community driven initiative aimed at making a new, user operated internet that leverages Blockchain's data security.
Rather than focusing on token price and getting on more exchanges like other projects, Qortal focuses on making a usable, decentralized data infrastructure.
The community and even User Interface (UI) harkens back to the vibes behind Torrents, Warez and even mIRC in t...
Free and Open Source Software, FOSS for short, is the backbone of computers, programming, and the World Wide Web (WWW) as a whole.

“Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it mean...
For this episode, we pull back the curtain on concrete tech tool categories we use to make this ETM show and website happen.
Most of these tools have free versions and almost all are open source. Part of our thinking when creating ETM was showcase all the powerful (free and open-source) tools at our fingertips.
The best part of all is that your projects, ideas and endeavors don't have to cost a lot of money. (Especially if you&a...
