Don Tapscott has predictions

Go read them all, I am picking out the ones that stand out.
1. The crisis deepens. Rather than just an economic downturn, more people will recognize that we're entering an era of profound change. The industrial economy and many of its institutions are reaching the end of their lifecycles -- from newspapers and old models of financial services to our energy grid, transportation systems and institutions for global cooperation and problem solving.

6. The "app revolution" peaks showing signs of decline. Developers, faced with so many platform choices and limitations of proprietary apps start to look to HTML5 for mobile web development. Rather than writing applications to run on separate mobile operating systems, developers will return to the uniformity of web sites accessed through browsers.

 10. Two technologies - Enterprise Collaboration and Geospaciality come of age. Foursquare was just the beginning. Get out your Google goggles and Layar Reality Browser and augment your reality. The physical and digital worlds are converging. Companies finally begin to move beyond electronic mail, document management and other primitive technologies to new collaborative Suites like Jive and Spaces.


The HTML5 revolution is big, it puts app development into the hands of anyone willing to sit down and practice a little.  That is also part of the profound change thing.  And finally, one of my notes, geospaciality, but this is going to morph into multi-dimensionality data reduction via channel theory, naturally.
