Collectively predicting future web trends
I came across an interesting blog post from the Read/WriteWeb on 10 future web trends. The interesting thing is that the 10 future web trends post was created almost exclusively from user generated content in the form of comments on their original post.
A lot of the ideas posted on the blog are extensions of topics talked about in Wikinomics and most of them are plausible, if not probable. Ideas such as using geospatial data to enhance your physical surroundings and the integration of everyday devices in what they describes as a “device pervasiveness” is likely to happen more widespread within the next few years.
Some of the predicted trends may be a bit optimistic such as having one open internet identity or a bit too futuristic such as blog posts being directly downloaded into your brain.
5. User-controlled, open Internet Identity; Thomas Huhn pointed out that “forming your online identity, controlling what personal data you give to whom and aggregating all your and your environments lifestreams in an open social network is simply essential for the further development of the web.” We’re seeing this develop now (it’s sometimes referred to as, you guessed it, Identity 2.0), but the scenario Thomas described is 5+ years into the future.
Regardless of the optimism and somewhat far-fetched ideas, it is still an interesting read.
