Another Gartner Top 10 Disruptors

The Gartner Group have revealed the top 10 technologies that they believe will change the world over the next four years:

1. Multicore and hybrid processors
2. Virtualization and fabric computing
3. Social networks and social software
4. Cloud computing and cloud/Web platforms
5. Web mashups
6. User Interface
7. Ubiquitous computing
8. Contextual computing
9. Augmented reality
10. Semantics

These are the top 10 disruptive technologies before 2012. Are we ready? Have we dealt with the last 10? Are we done with mobile, streaming media, e-content, SaaS, . . .?

Time for another Valium.

I heard you speak at the Nashville Public Library yesterday. I am medical librarian, but I didn't get to the Southern Chapter meeting. Do you have a U-Tube or ppt (if you must) especially for us?

I have a facebook account, but I can't access it from work. (Hospital IT Dept!)

Thanks, Marilyn

P.S. As a cancer survivor, you might be interested in a fruit called Mangosteen which has a lot of Xanthones. It's scientific name is Garcinia Mangostana.

I have additional information if you are interested in it. Have a great day!

I filmed that speech in Jamaica last week. I should have it up online in the coming weeks.

Thanks,
