GeekUp April 8, 2008

We've had to make a last minute venue change as Rain Bar is closed for refurbishment - new venue is 50-100 yards down the road.

This months Discussion Topic: "The Future of the Internet"
* How do you see people using the internet in 5/10 years time?
* What features do you want to see browsers supporting?
* Will people still be using browsers? If not, what will they be using?
* Does anyone actually use 3G video chat? Will VoIP mainstream follow too?
* Will Google always be the number one search engine?
* Will Google be even bigger? Perhaps it might run our lives ...
* Will IPv6 actually be adopted by the masses?
* Anyone up for a 3G wireless dongle biometric implant to hook your memory up to the net?!
* Semantic Web - is it the future? what does it mean?

What is GeekUp?
GeekUp is a community of web designers, web developers, and other tech-minded folk from the North West. Our socials take place once a month in Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester and are always a lively place to share ideas and spread a little knowledge.

Who can attend GeekUp?
While the focus for GeekUp is predominately web related anybody involved in the technology industry is more than welcome to attend a GeekUp. The monthly events are free, we just ask that you buy your own beer.
