What’s the next decade going to be like in technology?
I found myself pondering this a lot recently. It seems we are in for very revolutionary changes … like the becoming irrelevance of the PC. Or the move to NoSQL. Or all web apps being connected to each other, with RSS/Atom and OpenID being the first steps. Vendors, products, architectures, market dynamics will all be a lot different than we are used to.
Clearly worth pondering, or writing about it. Which not many people do. So I just started a new blog at:
My focus will be the next decade, through 2020, thus the name, which of course is also a word play.
I am taking the risk that I might be terribly wrong with anything I might predict. It might be terribly embarrassing. But then, I hope to have a thought now and then that might spark some discussion, which is really all one can hope with on a blog.
So, enjoy! And disagree, otherwise, how should we all learn?
This blog will continue as before.

Actually, you are right. And “2000” was more impacting than “2001” for the general public, I guess. And despite the fact that I count my fingers from 1 to 10 (and my toes from 11 to 20 :-), I suppose that nobody will blame your domain name choice !
Well, you are right, so they say.
With calendar changes over the centuries and major disagreements about the actual birth year of the famous person supposedly born in year 1, however, I do feel comfortable to go with my instinct as a software guy, which is to start counting with 0. Also, who has ever heard of 20/21 vision? Then my domain name wouldn’t work! [I guess my 15+ years in the US show, I don’t mention Americanisms when I should like in this case …]
Hope to see you over there at upon2020.com!
By the way, the next decade will start in 2011, not this year. So we have 360 days left to think about it …
