Web Directions Year round learning for product, design and engineering professionals

ACMA, the Australian Communications and Media Authority, has published a detail report entitled “Top Six Trends in Communications and Media Technologies, Applications and Services—Possible Implications“.

Section 5, “Web-based services and the emerging ‘social web'” focusses on where these technologies might be headed. What’s interesting is that their predictions for the next 5 years roughly approximate to what folks like those who attend our conferences are doing right now. Which goes to reinforce an adage I not infrequently use, “if you want to know what you’ll be doing in 3 years, look at what the geeks are doing now”.
