With Christmas looming up and the New Year on the horizon many peoples thoughts may be turning to what 2008 may mean for developments in technology, so here are my 5 finger in the air predictions for the 52 weeks ahead:
- The Octo-Core CPU driven by the need for high powered servers for virtualisation tasks will make its debut
- The Pico-Projector will appear in mobile phones and handheld gaming devices
- Unified Communications will stop being a buzz-term and actually start being useful
- The Budget ‘back to basics’ laptop will appeal to the masses of non-techies driving a change for simplicity in computing devices
- Server OS development companies will rethink the GUI and look for inspiration in their text based roots
No doubt I will be hiding in a corner cringeing come this time next year wondering how on earth I could have been so off the mark with my predictions! So, what are your predictions for technology in 2008?
