1. Data Mining (profiling & prediction)
2. Data Security (governance, encryption, risk management & regulation)
3. Open Innovation & Customer Co-creation
4. Too Much Information (information diets)
5. Metadata trails (possibly the same as #1?)
6. Automation (DIY & serve yourself technology)
7. Green IT & Clean Tech
8. Storage as a Service
9. E-records (especially healthcare)
10. Virtualisation (part of #8?)
11. Gesture Based Computing
12. Emotionally Aware Machines & Devices
13. Shopping 2.0
14. Mobile phones replacing wallets
(Incl. stored value, contactless payments, micro-payments, P2P lending etc)
