A phone that only makes calls and stores numbers will become the next Apple. Brian is right , I've never seen the appeal of watching a tiny itty bitty screen. And could it be true..? yes , I believe that Myspace TV will come up very rapidly and challenge The Mighty Tube. On the eco front , I see ethanol fizzling out and the intro of methane plants dominating the energy industry. Merry Christmas to Web-Workers the world over.

People will get sick of being "bitten" by people they don't know in Facebook. 2. Thousands more will come late to the myspace party and create ugly pages that have 3 songs playing at once. 3. There will be a growing movement of people against always being connected and looking for devices that do 1 thing well instead of 10 things average. 4. People who review mobile phones will continue to give lower marks because the built in camera doesn't take great pictures. Guess what its a PHONE!!! You want to take pictures and movies go buy something that does that. 5. There will be a usb device that connects to my toilet so I can truly keep the world up to date on what I am doing in real-time on Twitter. 6. Chiropractic care will become a booming business as people with neck problems grow from everyone looking down at a 2 inch screen to watch movies. 7. Criminals overseas will create a kick ass web 2.0 application and connect all of your IM's, EMAIL and Social sites in one place. Catch is you need to give them all those passwords and you will. Several months later you won't be able to access of them as they steal your identity. 8. The next Internet bubble will start to occur and everyone who realized you can't ship a 50 pound bag of dog food for free and make money the first time around will wake up and say, hmmmm I'm 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon but how am I going to make a nickel off of this. Oh well -- at least Mary from State College bite me in facebook last night! WOHOO!!!! 1. People will get sick of being “bitten” by people they don’t know in Facebook.

The protocols are not close to seamless enough in their user experience, except in the case of prorpietary systems. Even if all of the tech were in place this coming year, it would still take several years for it to be widely disseminated enough in the market place for the development of applications/business models around it to make economic sense. Shortrange wireless, "personal area networks," and the like have been one of those "just over the horizon" tech things for year - like the semantic web and fusion power. Nice to imagine, further away than we think! (IMHO) FWIW, i think the shortrange wireless space is still going to be a few years away.

Technology is getting cheaper and more powerful - desktops, laptops, mobiles, networks... 2. Technology is getting more mobile - smart phones, PDAs, WiFi... 3. The overall move towards the Web will continue - Google applications, Yahoo services, social networks, more Web 2.0 startups... 4. Because of the above, more and more and more people will get online. This will lead to more and more content being published, so we'll see more advances in the following three points: 5. Content publishing tools will continue to improve - blogging, podcasting, picture sharing, etc. 6. Search tools will continue to improve - Google search, domain/scope based search engines, tagging, RSS search engines, etc. 7. We'll have more ads. Video, audio, links, gadgets, mobile.. whatever it takes. That's roughly how I see the coming year(s). :) I don’t have anything specific in mind right now, but I guess the overall trend will continue:
