Unless you’re in the IT business, or have an interest in it, some of this won’t mean a lot without some explanation.
Virtualization, for instance. Know what that is? I wasn’t sure, either, but a Gartner’s hype cycle when they publish their 2008 report on the emerging technologies hype cycle, sometime in July.
As an aid to making predictions (aka guesses), here is the hype cycle for 2007:
Take Web 2.0. Although not on Gartner’s top ten list, it’s a topic
I wonder where Web 2.0 will appear in 2008.
But making predictions concerning technologies is a tricky business so I won’t make any regarding Gartner’s top ten.
Wait until July.
