Looking Into The Future

from the standing-on-the-cliff-I-see-seagulls-and-the-future dept

As per usual Red Herring has released its top tend trends for 2001. Of real interests to me are the sections on biotechnology (which has long been in the Internet's shadow and is now rising out of it), and wireless technology (I already see it happening here in Europe and it seems the US will follow a similar pattern). In the past their predictions have been pretty accurate but that is probably because they aren't looking that far out into the future.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Get ready...

    Get ready to see a lot more articles like this one. I don't know how useful they are, but Red Herring's predictions seem to be pretty weak and general. At least they do the nice thing of grading themselves for last year's predictions. Of course, I think they're a little generous in their scoring on some of those...

    Yeah, I seem to remember how it goes. First all the other biz of tech. mags start writing "me too" trends. Then, mainstream biz mags starting writing about future trends (after reading about it for weeks). Then finally it filters down to those, really up-to-date general magazines like Time (Yawn) and is delivered as fresh content! Now, that's what I call content sydication.
