Tim O'Reilly's Opening

So, what's on Tim O'Reilly's Radar? Why Does He Love Hackers?

Hackers are the folks who are pushing the limits with passion and riding the fringes. They are creating the future. It's why we should watch them. What's Mr. O'Reilly watching?

• OpenSource Hardware
• Sensors and ambient computing (see facial recognition cig machine in japan)
• Gaming - building the future of interfaces
• Web 2.0="Bionic Software"
• Hacking our minds and bodies
• Robots
• Collective Intelligence

O'Reilly finished with a great Poem called The Man Watching by Rainer Maria Rilke. I'd recommend reading it.
