Emergic Nicely Sums Up Dave Pollard's Post
Posted by Stuart, November 6, 2003 7:51 PMDave Pollard writes about Business 2.0's article which selects social networking as the Technology of the Year, and makes a point (which I agree with) that "they missed the companion technology that will provide the data essential to the functioning of future Social Networking Applications. That technology: Personal Content Management and Publishing Applications (notably Blogs and RSS). You can't have one without the other."
Among the other new technologies:
1. HOME NETWORKING - Ultra-wideband
[E M E R G I C . o r g]
2. SUPPLY CHAIN - RFID
3. WIRELESS BROADBAND - 802.16
4. ENERGY - Micro fuel cells
5. HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS - Gecko tape
6. SOFTWARE - Antispam software (that works)
7. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS - OLEDs
8. LIGHTING - LED lightbulbs
9. COMPUTER MEMORY - MRAM
10. MEDICINE - Bioinformatics
