I just sold my Apple Watch for $250. I was now going to by a new tech toy. I was thinking of either a Quadcopter or a 3D printer. I have a GoPro that I could mount to the Quadcopter.

10 or so years ago clean-tech was going to be the next big thing. A bunch of VC funds created dedicated clean-tech funds. It seems like the underlying premise of needing more clean energy never changed.

So, what happened? Why did clean-tech seem to fizzle?

I launched my first startup 6 years ago and arguably the most important trend was the adoption of mobile. I focused my company on this and quickly grew and sold my company.

Now I am trying to figure out what the most important tech related trend will be during the next 5 years.

Virtual Reality? Drones? 3d printing? Bitcoin?

I developed my website using PHP and I believe that PHP could handle all of the features that I have on my product roadmap.

However, now I as I look for additional resources I feel that most talented developers would prefer coding in Python instead of PHP.

What do you think? Is it worth transitioning to Python in order to get better developers excited?
