Thinking Digital

Posted by Andrew Mernin on May 13, 2009 5:14 PM | 

If last year's event is anything to go by, visitiors to the Thinking Digital conference at The Sage are in for a mind-blowing experience this week.

Last year delegates found out how the ageing process could theoretically be reversed, why microscopic robots could keep us alive well past 100 and heard from the man who gave Roland Rat his big break.

A glance at the programme schedule tells me things will be equally colourful with speakers from all over the world lined up to discuss life, the universe, everything in it and more.

Remember Furbies? The cute furry robots with the ability to learn how to speak.

The creator of that toy fad which swept the world a decade ago is here in the North East and hasn't come alone. For Caleb Chung has crossed the Atlantic with his friend Pleo, the intelligent robotic dinosaur.

Google, Virgin, BT, the BBC wil also be represented as forward-thinking heavyweights discuss the future.

A former CEO of Red Bull and alongside an army of othe digital experts will also take to the stage over the next two days.

I'll be posting live stories from the event in the science and technology section of our website throughout the two-day event.
