This report is a definite must read, as it provides an expert panel prediction of which technologies will have an impact on us, in the years to come. Their panel is made up of thirty to forty technology experts from around the world, that sort through the latest advances in search of technologies promising an impact.
A technology identified in this report that I found quite interesting is "Smart Objects". This technology is described in the report as "an Internet of things", and is expected to make an impact in about four to five years. These objects will be capable of knowing where they are, and communicate with one another. While it might be true that most readers will not find this too far fetched, especially when combining GPS and RFID technologies, what interests me is the opportunity to add "intelligence" to these devices. This might open a dimension of IT objects that will definitely find a place in our daily lives.
