year's book:
- "Office in your phone.
Millions will be carrying mobile devices that do more than voice, email and text.
Videos, web conferencing, unified messaging, powerpoint presentations, mobile
access to any content using infobots, and more are coming."
Rip
Gerber, CMO, GM-Ecommerce, Intellisync Corporation - "Countries
as Brands. In 2006 countries will start overtly branding themselves to increase
export visibility. Made in Luxembourg? You bet."
Andrew Greenberg,
CEO, Greenberg Brand Strategy - "Younger
and younger users will create increasingly more complex content with higher production
value. Heck, who doesn't know a 4th grader whose made a movie?"
Karen
Howe, VP, AOL - "Amazing acceleration
of the economy of services. Expect the services component of US GDP grow from
72% to 80%."
Jean Paul Jacob, IBM Researcher, Emeritus - "On
Jan 1, 2006, the first Baby Boomer turns 60. The richest, best-educated, most
spoiled generation in history. They want to live well and live forever, and they
will transform our 20th Century healthcare system with their demands."
Jack
Powers, Director, International Informatics Institute - "Crime
on the Internet will be more rampant than ever. Why? Sutton's law. Willy Sutton
the bank robber said he robbed banks because, 'That's where the money is.'"
Dave Anderson, CEO, Sendmail - "Oil
prices will top $100 / barrel and average over $80 / barrel and Oil prices will
drive at least one country to effectively declare bankruptcy and call in the World
Bank / IMF."
