What will be the story of this decade?
published: cw 19, 2005 in EDITORS VIEWSIn the 60-ies of the last century the main ram computer was the hottest topic, and soon replaced by the story of the midrange computer in the 70-ies. The big story of the 80-ies is still in front of us, the Personal Computer. And do you remember the story of the 90-ies. Of course you do, the Internet was the great hype.
These paradigms were leading in the decades they appeared, and they exploded ITC investments towards at those times height records. The owners of the start-ups who reacted on time on these core-innovations are all become billionaires, and those who waited still have to get there first million.
In this decade there will be a hot story, a major new trend too. A second Internet-hype is not the option. It will be a new big trend, which will has a similar impact on ITC investment as the Personal computer and/or the Internet.
What will be the major story of the this century. Will it be RFID, implanted chips, Linux, Wifi, robots or the semantic web. Or will it be bLogging or RSS-feeds. All techniques which will have a great impact and potential on today?s ITC landscape, but none of them will be the major story of the century.
What will the story be ….. be patient, and you will find the answer.
