Top 10 Disruptive Technologies for 2008-2012
- Multicore and hybrid processors
- Virtualisation and fabric computing
- Social networks and social software
- Cloud computing and cloud/Web platforms
- Web mashups
- User Interface
- Ubiquitous computing
- Contextual computing
- Augmented reality
- Semantics
This isn’t exactly an earth-shattering list, but I am curious what “augmented reality” means
Mobility?
Mobility is an enabler not so much a technology
2008- 2012? Let’s get real - this has been happening already for the last 3 years years. New business models is the most disruptive of all, that’s what determines which ones stay on the list, I believe.
Where is bioinformatics? Genetic research? Biotechnology? There’s so many buzzwords to imply it yet there was failure to mention it.
# Web mashups
# User Interface
# Ubiquitous computing
# Contextual computing
These are all technologies?
I mean seriously “User Interface” ?
How about green technology? Classically disruptive - requires rethinking both use and production, and will be one of the most profound cultural changes in the next 50 years.
Don’t count out User Interface!
How else would you characterize the success of iPhone?
Get a life, guys….It’s a tell on the quality of analyst reports. Firms like Forrester and Gartner seldom scoop up useful insights, mostly they end up lionizing the sponsors of their research. In that they make no bones of their lifeline. So, no point wondering why truly futuristic technologies don’t figure in that list. The answer is clear; none of its guerilla sponsors - IBM, MSFT, HP, Cisco, Oracle - are into those
