Most likely to succeed in the year of 2011

The year of 2010 was definitely the year of Geo-location. The market responded +beautifully and lots of very cool services were launched. We all have to thank +the mobile market for such extensive adoption. With new generations of mobile +phones that are not only buffed with high-tech hardware but are also affordable. +We can now manage tasks that were not so long time ago, almost Star Trek’ish. +And all this had and has great influence on the destination to which we are +going now.

Reading all this articles about new innovation about new thriving technologies +makes me wonder what’s the next step. The future is the mesh, like Lisa Gansky +said in her book The Mesh.

Many still have conservative views on distributed systems. The problems with +security of information. Fear of not controlling every aspect of information +flow. I am very opened to distributed systems and heterogeneous applications, +and I think this is the correct and best way to proceed.

This year will definitely be about communication platforms. Mobile to mobile. +Machine to mobile and vice versa. All the tech is available and ready to put +into action. Wireless is today’s new mantra. And the concept of semantic web is +now ready for industry.

Applications and developers now can gain access to new layers of systems and can +prepare and build solutions to meet the high quality needs of market. The speed +is everything now.

My vote goes to “Machine to Machine” and “Embedded Systems”!
