Here are some excerpts relating to our world.
- TV, movies and video in general will be distributed over the Web. Subscription and free ad models will both exist. Micro payments will thrive.
- Music and eReader devices will be things of the past overtaken by full media smartphones, tablets and Netbooks. Apple will still have less than 20% of the US market for such devices except for the smartphone.
- The mobile phone market will be the smartphone particularly in the Western world. Apple, Blackberry and Google will dominate. Microsoft or Nokia will own Blackberry.
- Web 3.0 will be nearing its conclusion. Websites will be clusters of Web apps. Every Website will ask ‘what do you want to do today?’ – no longer what we need to tell you. Social media and the ‘Social’ Web will be givens. Facebook will be the way we communicate and stay in touch. It will be the worlds telephone directory.
- Facebook will own Twitter. Microsoft will own Linkedin.
- The semantic Web will be reality. Everything will exist in the Cloud, including large corporate systems.
- SME’s will use Google Apps and large corporations will hang onto Microsoft.
- Software will be services and Freemium the globally established consumer and SME model.
While EyeOnTheCloud wouldn't make exactly the same predictions, they are thought-provoking nonetheless.
