HERRING'S TOP TEN TECH TRENDS FOR
2005
RED
HERRING'S TOP TEN TECH TRENDS FOR
2005
12/26/2004 02:31 PM

Red Herring has published
its list of the top ten technology trends to watch for 2005:
- Moore's Law yields to innovation:
The long history of processor speed doubling every 18 months without
changing price looks to be coming to an end, not because it can't be
sustained, but because other innovations, like dual cores, can
accomplish the same ends without having to deal with the growing
problem of overheating that fast processors must contend
with.
- VoIP makes distance irrelevant and increases the functionality
of telephony:
Although carrying sound over the Internet is most famous for killing
phone companies that charge outrageous long-distance rates, and making
all telephony flat-rate, it's also increasing the traditional PBX
phone
system's functionality, allowing people to dial others by clicking on
their name instead of having to look up numbers, and providing
'presence awareness' (telling you before you 'dial' whether the person
is available for your 'call').
- Explosion of authentication and automatic
identification systems:
Increased need for security and the cost of maintaining password lists
is driving this change, but authentication and identification systems,
if they can walk the line between convenience and breech of privacy,
could also simplify and streamline the process by which we get
permissioned for almost everything, allowing us to access both
physical
and intellectual property without jumping through hoops.
- Commercial gene
therapy breakthroughs:
RNA-interference therapies could soon be used to suppress messenger
genes that cause diseases from AIDS to diabetes. But while the
technical problems in making such therapies seem to be solved, the
anti-innovation US patent laws remain a huge stumbling block, and
patients may have to wait while greedy corporations sue each other to
death or patent law reform enters the 21st century before the
therapies
can be brought to market.
- Micro fuel cells' last change to prove themselves
real:
Small fuel cells that recharge or even power small portable electronic
devices off-the-grid have been promised for years, but technical and
performance problems have delayed their coming to market. Next year
may
see the first few commercial releases, though they will be unfriendly
to the environment (another 'disposable', and in need of constant
refilling), and initially very expensive (as much as a dollar per
hour's worth of fuel).
- Desktop search and desktop management heats up:
Software vendors are finally realizing that the up-to-30% of people's
work-time spent 'looking for information' is often spent looking on
users' own hard drives, not on the Internet and Intranets. Google
Desktop
arrived with a splash this year, and many more desktop search tools
are
coming. But will vendors realize that search is just the tip of the Personal
Content Management iceberg?
- Medical equipment comes 'of age':
Baby boomers are fueling the demand for new medical equipment that
offers therapy for patients without the use of drugs (expensive,
invasive, prone to side-effects, and slow-to-market) or hands-on
treatment (even more expensive, and temporary). But while
self-administered treatment is exploding, baby boomers are even more
enthused with self-diagnosis, doing their own on-line research and
using new diagnostic kits to avoid the doctor's office entirely.
- Web services allow small companies to grow up fast:
New web service companies are providing, in small, affordable
packages,
the capabilities that big corporations developed in-house or bought
from hugely expensive systems integrators and ERP
vendors.
- Asia and Europe extend their wireless lead over North
America:
Where 3G technologies dominate in Asian and European markets, North
Americans still use their phones for voice calls and go online using
cables or phone lines. Only 28% of Americans own laptops or cell
phones
with wireless data capability, and only a little over half of them
have
used that capability. The digital divide grows, on many
fronts.
- PC/TV convergence and the battle for the living-room:
The much-ballyhooed convergence of the PC and the TV, and promised
ubiquity of 'smart' digital appliances everywhere hasn't really
happened. Why? Because for most of us, it doesn't meet a need. Too
many
tech vendors are overly infatuated with their own technologies, and
have no appreciation of the average consumer whose main consumer
electronics purchases remain the traditional 'dumb' TV and telephone.
'Smart' devices will only succeed when the companies that make them
smarten up and understand the mainstream customer and his/her needs
and
low tolerance for complexity.
I confess this list didn't exactly blow me away with the ingenuity of
technology. What's missing from the list? I'm working on my own lists
of Most Important Ideas of 2004 (in each of three areas: Blogs &
Blogging, Business, and Politics & Economics), and I can use some
help -- this year hasn't exactly been the promised banner year for innovation.
The innovation process
at the top of this post is from Credit Suisse
First Boston and is explained in more detail in my innovation paper.
