Five Tech Themes for 2010

IT Strategy 0 Comments

January 1, 2010 from the New York Times – “It’s hard to believe that a decade ago, there was no Facebook, iPhone, Wikipedia or YouTube. Almost shocking, considering how those entities have shaped a culture around the Internet, disrupted business models and affected how and what information was shared through the Web.

So what big Web themes might we see emerging into the next few years? Based on reporting and informal chats with venture capitalists, here’s a quick guess at what might be big in 2010…”

180 View – The author’s list looks lame to me such as the 1st one which is “The third wave of mobile applications”. I thought one reader’s comment was right on – “It would have been impossible to predict on Jan 1, 2000 that Facebook, the iPod / iPhone, Wikipedia, and Youtube would be just around the corner and have such a huge impact. In fact whatever pundits were predicting in 2000 as having a huge impact in the coming decade was likely trivial compared to the unanticipated things just listed.”
