Technology Predictions 2008

The issues covered:

  • Getting value from virtualization - not all virtualizations are equal, so how do you assess where the value comes from?
  • How to manage talent when legacy becomes the future? Mainframes keep going, while COBOL programmers keep retiring.
  • Let there be light emitting diodes - a green future for electric lighting.
  • The renaissance of nanotechnology - from zero to green hero.
  • From anonymity to authenticity - creating trust in the online world.
  • The rising value of digital protection - when the data is worth more than the hardware.
  • The flight to privacy - resisting data capture online.
  • XBRL goes XL - the quiet rise of a new reporting language.
  • A digital divide for the digerati - multiple standards in data storage.
  • The challenges and opportunities of water scarcity - technology solutions.
