Better watch out, future's here!
These are my predictions for 2011. I suspect that they will easily be as accurate as anything else you read this year. Maybe even more so.
Cloud computing will take over. The shift in cloud computing will be slow at first, but uptake will dramatically increase over the course of the year.
Sick of slow adoption of their technologies, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Salesforce.com will create a shaky alliance and secretly build underground factories to assemble an army of clouds. Realizing that the cloud is too ephemeral for many applications, Microsoft will devise the concept of the hybrid cloud and license it to its allies.
Boxbot needs you to join the fight.
Amazon has to pull out of the war because of an autonomous hegemonizing swarm arises within their japanese shipping center.
While Amazon’s boxbot swarm is easily defeated by rain or a thorough soaking with water the camouflage, cheapness, and near ubiquity of the swarm make it difficult to destroy. Amazon’s is unable to put down the rebellion and is slowly consumed by a pile of soggy cardboard boxes.
Everyone is doomed.
