Technology's New Year Resolutions
Here is how I think technology will change and the way we live, work, travel, communicate, and think in 2006.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
- In: Services; Out: Web Services
- The new paradigm will be Service-Orientation. We will see a clear distinction between infrastructure providers and service/content providers. Devices such as cellphones, digital camera, laptops, PDAs, televisions, CD/DVD Players would be able to connect to the Internet and consume services.
- The cell phone has achieved greater penetration than anyone had previosuly imagined, even more than the Internet. The move will be towards telephony applications accessed through voice, or using mobiles/handheld devices.
- The convergence of Internet and Telephones/Cell-phones would usher in a new era of Speech applications, which would become more accurate and mainstream.
- Technology will become more accessible to the less priviledged around the world with the release of MIT's $100 laptop, bringing world-class pornography to children even in remote villages, since they wont know what else to do with their new toy.
- Star Bucks will open more outlets throughout the world.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
