Last night we watched the developments unfold at the Churchill Club’s 14th Annual Top 10 Tech Trends. Today, we bring you some of the highlights:

Among them– integrating tablets and other tools into the classroom and the proliferation of sensor technology. Could marketable Star Trek-style “tricorders” be on the horizon?

Thiel also discussed the future of the electric car, which he feels is a non-starter as a major industry in the United States because of inefficiencies in current battery technology, as well as our reliance on cheap gasoline.
