My Insights (Tongue in Cheek)
- So everyone is currently disillusioned about Web 2.0, but don't worry it will be mainstream in less than 2 years.
- Cloud Computing is all the rage, but won't be mainstream for at least 2 years.
- People get speech recognition, but it won't be mainstream for another 5-10 years... Interesting.
- Poor Microsoft, Surface computing is at least 5 years away.
- Online video -- people are getting bored of it and it's not even mainstream... Strange..
- Social Software Suites are all the rage right now but won't be mainstream for a while, but tracking of social trends has people disillusioned..
