These are the predictions I’ve seen in media/technology so far. Anyone have any others?
From @themediaisdying tweet on Twitter:
YOUR PREDICTIONS: EW, OK!, SEATTLE TIMES, MIAMI HERALD, BLENDER, EWEEK and COMPUTERWORLD will all not se e Christmas 2009.
From cnet.com:
- Sony: Further reduction in PS3 pricing, Blu-Ray struggles to gain ground on DVDs with streaming taking off
- Apple: Ends iPhone exclusivity with AT&T (on the heels of the Wal-Mart introduction) and Jobs announces his planned retirement.
- Microsoft: Windows 7 rushed out the door hits store shelves
From NetworkWorld:
- IT spending to be cut 10-20%
- Unemployed IT professionals will help boost growth in cybercrime.
- Company’s social networking initiatives lose stream as they get considered speculative/frivolous.
- Google to acquire Salesforce.com
- Wireless propagation slows down wired switch sales.
- Video finally takes off as a communications medium.
- Social engineering will proliferate and “Scareware” will boom.
I’ll be curious to see how much of this is valid even halfway through the year (if even quantifiable).
