The document discusses predictions for several emerging technologies:
1. Hardware is becoming more portable, as seen by decreasing sizes of devices like iPods and phones, allowing more powerful computers to fit in smaller spaces.
2. Data storage has vastly increased over time, with modern microSD cards able to hold 250,000 times more data than 1980s floppy disks that were once standard.
3. The Raspberry Pi allows a fully functional Linux computer to fit in a package smaller than a flash drive for only $25, demonstrating how technology is shrinking in size.
Recent trends in the world of computers – Thought and factsMapWindow GIS
- in the future will increase the role of mobile application
- desktop applications will only a small part of the software market
- the largest part of the software market will the targeted, special applications
- the role of desktop GIS will decrease, – will used mostly for analysis and large-data manipulation
- small, flexible targeted GIS softwares will used
- web-based GIS technology will rule the GIS
- off-line GIS will hardly decrease, on-line GIS will the adequate use of the GIS applications.
The slides to my little talk at TIGA GameDev Night in Leeds (6 Sept 2012). It is sort of an abbreviated version of some I did previously (plus pretty Pegasus)

First impressions from the first day with a Fairphone. If you are not familiar with the concept, check http://www.fairphone.com/ - If you are not sure wether to buy one or not, check this presentation. #wearefairphone
In the year 2027 it is almost unimaginable what will truly happen in the next ten years with technology, especially the communication world. In this presentation I tried to tackle some topics that are likely going to be evolving in the coming years. But who knows what will really happen, just think, 10 years ago from this year, the first iPhone was introduced. It is possible that even the things we think are new and cool now, will have become outdated in the next ten years.

Mindgrub CEO Todd Marks was the featured speaker at Chesapeake Regional Tech Council's June TechFocus Seminar “Creating a Mobile [and PRODUCTIVE] Workforce: There’s an App for That!”. Todd spoke on the importance of the ability to communicate with customers and each other from virtually any location, Todd also showcased the "Top 5 Apps to facilitate mobile workforce".
In today’s business environment, there is constant need to look for new opportunities. The risk of doing business as usual means failure. How can we take advantage of new emerging technologies? We get overload of new products and services, but it is not easy to see the real trends.
In this lecture we look at how to spot trends and how to recognize shift in people’s behaviour. We also explore some tactics we can apply to find new business models.
• What is the company offering consumers by launching this product? What segment and
target are served? What needs are covered?
• What variables have been used for market segmentation? Is there any niche?
• Is something extremely different in the new product or just an improvement of a
previous one? Is there any negative attribute that the product is introducing to the
market? Why?
• Is the brand showing/communicating its competitive advantage to consumers? How?
• In your opinion, what are the key aspects that made the launch a success?
• When a new service or product succeeds, competitors react by launching similar
products or services. In this case, do you think that entry barriers for new competitors are
high or low? Why? Analyze competitors’ reactions.
• Go further: What other marketing initiatives could be implemented?
Aspects of Mobile devices, especially smart Mobile Devices ... its hardware, software, built, etc. has been discussed. Positive as well as negative impacts and features to expect in the future is also discussed.

Companies will be the ones to come up with the new, innovative hardware and products, like they did with the iPad and gaming systems, while young individuals will be the ones to create the new social medias.
Apple will experience continued success for at least a year or two, riding their strong momentum with happy customers. They still have a couple years of innovations in the pipelines to carry them. But after a while, the pipeline will run dry and the will become like all the other companies out there. They will still be successful but will not be viewed as the innovative and cool company that they are today.
First point, how will facebook deal with competition among other social networks. The company is obviously going to face challenges with the social networks like twitter for example. The company has to continue to reinvent itself to appeal to its audience by analyzing feedback and letting its users give suggestions on the network that they use.Second point, facebook has integrated into millions of peoples lives with over 500 million users and countless others touched by the large company it has become almost impossible to get away from one of the largest social networks. It is inevitable that the company will continue to integrate even into our schools and universities as a communication and learning tool.
First point, facebook is the largest social network to date and in order to continue to be the most used social networking provider. In order to stay on top of the social media mountain is to develop and unleash dazzling new features and to remove aspects of the service which the world does not like. The goal of the company according to CEO Mark Zuckerburg is to expand and be a means for all individuals to be able to connect and communicate no matter where they are located in the world. Facebook also wants to be able to eventually provide information to websites and networks by integrating what your likes and dislikes are on facebook so that information may be used on those sites so those websites and networks may better accommodate your need.Second point, the goal of Zuckerburg according to a previous interview is that If you look five years out, every industry is going to be rethought in a social way, so he says. “You can remake whole industries. That’s the big thing. His ambition, is not simply to make Facebook an influential technology company, but the most important company in the world. “You can integrate a person’s friends into almost anything and make it instantly more engaging and viral. So his overall plan is to seemingly change the way we interact in a business and social aspect.
iPods, made for being portable music players, keep getting smaller and smaller.Technology is shifting from bulky PC's to laptops, tablets, and smart phones, which all do the same things, just more compact
1 3.5 inch floppy ~ 264 kb, Need about 20 for an average 3 minute song (5mb), 6,000 for an average 2 hour movie64gb ~ 7,000 songs, 40 hours / 20-25 movies, Over 250,000 floppy disks
Fully functional computer the size of an average flash drive. HDMI cable hooks up to TV or monitor, or a touch screenSoon it will be physically impossible to make technology more compact. By that time, we probably won’t be using physical storage anyway, and cloud computing will completely take over, making everything digital.
Scientist and engineers have been designing self-driving cars since the mid-1960s. Google has a project that consist of seven self-driving Toyota Prius and an Audi TT. So far, seven cars have driven 1,000 miles without human intervention and 140,000 miles with little human intervention. The only accident to date was when the Google car was rear-ended while stopped at a traffic light. In order to gain control of the car, you can either touch the brakes, turn the steering wheel, or hit the red button next to your right hand. In June 2011, Google lobbied two bills that made Nevada the first state to allow drive less vehicles on public roads.General Motors Corporation executives think cars that drive themselves will be ready for sell within a decade. GM plans to start testing drive less car technology in 2015 and have cars on the road by 2018. Next will be technology allowing cars to communicate with automated highway systems. Special lanes wouldbe constructed on existing highways that would be equipped with magnets or other communication systems that will allow vehicles to stay in the center of the lane. Before a car leaves the lane, it must verify that its driver is ready to take control of the car. If it doesn’t verify, the system will park the car in a predestinated area.
Hologram technology could very possibly be the next big invention that takes technology to another level. There are many ways in which hologram technology will help to make both communication and learning much easier and effective. It would make communication easier between people living far away, by using a live projection of a hologram. It would also make communication for large groups of people much easier than a normal video call. The image of an actual person giving a speech to a crowd would have more effect than that of a video. As far as teaching goes, it would be much easier to do international lessons, where a teacher from a school in another country could teach in a classroom thousands of miles away. Also, in a company meeting setting, businessmen from another country could conduct the meeting and give the image of them being there in person, right from their own home.
This is a prototype of the IPhone 5, which has a hologram technology induced into it. There is a hologram keyboard and also a hologram display, which is on a video clip here. These two technological advancements would make apples new product unlike any other that is available, which is what apple strives to do.
