Robert X. Cringely is a smart dude whose been writing on digital technology since caveman first put chisel to rock and tapped out the first 1s and 0s. Every year he makes some very interesting predictions about technology. Here are links to his latest:
Prediction #1 - Bufferbloat will become a huge problem.
Prediction #2 - Verizon's new iPhone will be Apples white iPhone
Prediction #3 - 1.8 and 3.5 inch disk drives will die
Prediction #4 - cable ISPs won't fix bufferbloat
Prediction #5 - Facebook will create a premium service to win back LinkedIn users
Prediction #6 - Yahoo! bites the dust
Prediction #7 - Microsoft is the new IBM
Prediction #8 - Cloudburst is going to have a big let down for users in 2011
Prediction #9 - Apple's Carolina strategy is a thin client networked right out of the box to help companies eliminate IT departments
Prediction #10 - Apple will buy Time Warner Cable to implement its thin client strategy
Cringely isn't always right, but he is always interesting. He has a lot of tech elves deep in the woodwork feeding him rumours to guide his guesses.
