Technology predictions 2010

It is hard to talk about this without being too boring. But I will try to do it quickly.

2010 came at a very pivotal time in history in many ways:

• With the looming arrival of the Nexus One ("Google Phone") and the pre-existing Droid phone with the Android OS, the competition with the iPhone is sure to reveal some interesting smart phones in 2010.
• Apple also has been on a slight break from new releases, signaling the potential arrival of new products in the coming year, like the Apple iPad.
• Also, on the headlines, not so long ago, was an article about the arrival of a 3-D television. While it does cost more than any HD television currently out on the market, if stations put up enough 3-D cable channels, this TV might just be a success. Just put on special glasses and you'll be watching TV in 3-D! Be on the lookout for more 3-D technology in the months to come.

Information Technology predictions

Even with the predict 3.2% growth for the IT industry, it looks like the market won't be very generous in 2010. Mainly because it is consurned to reuse and adaptation of equipments and systems already in place.

• The mobile phone will receive more attention.
• Cloud computing will become a more viable option for online businesses.
• Green IT companies will be given more value then others.
• New programming languages will hit the main stream: Clojure and Go.

Emerging Trends in IT

With entertainment currently varying in miniscule ways, it is refreshing to see innovations in the 3-D coming to life in our everyday technology. Finally, it is a safe bet to say that the established social networks Facebook and Twitter will have very interesting innovations to come that will integrate more fully with our life, what with the omnipotence of smart phones.
