The mobile prediction … is this related to the “buying a bottle of wine” story? If so, I know Koreans have been using their phones as bar-code scanners (the square-shaped codes) and as credit cards for quite some time now. I guess the question is when we’ll see more of this in the US, Europe, Australia, etc.

Well, this predictions and occurrences are signs of the technology revolution. There is a book that I have read, and it states almost specifically or indirectly that there will be a new revolution or some sort of human wars.

That isn't a good thing at all, in my view; to many others, they think it's cool. But imagine other people who are less rich would or might not be able to afford prices of groceries, digital products everyone owned. yeah... it goes like this

Anyway, accurate predictions are often made after thorough analyzing. Try finding past records and current records of the titans and sites your interested to predict on, on their sales, marketing and income, traffic.

Web 2.0 will crash more violently then the first one. A lot of people will be taken by surprise. All those companies you mention will fail along with Twitter, MySpace, Faceboook, Flickr etc. Those who depended on free services will suddenly be without stock, mail, photo and other data, an email address and any grounds to recover it.

Google will be acquired by a private investor who will recoup the investment on day one by making a simple change in the algorithm, and by re-engineering YouTube for profitability and compliance. A simple idea will create a major YouTube event that will shock, amaze, engage and unite the world. The key is creativity; the power of a great idea and the value it can create. With all the money spent to build and acquire, this will demonstrate that ideas go further than cash.

A company not mentioned above will come from left field with a business plan to deliver the mobile promise, totally ad and cost free. This company will seize the moment to focus on the b2b side of life, where most companies have websites that can't adapt to change. They will provide the tool set to empower all businesses to realize the web's potential.

Most blogs will be gone. Flash too. Virtual worlds will pale by comparison to the real world, and people will rediscover the joy of life offline.

OK internet junkies, here’s what’s really gonna happen in 2007: 1. The much anticipated Windows Vista will delay – yet again – the arival/release of a non-beta version in a public retail environment. 2. The world will end.(of course this depends on a lot of things like wether or not the world is still here afterwards) 3. The internet will crash and people will jump out of windows because they’re depressed about it. 4. Most importantly – nothing will change except for insignificant variations of what we already have in place today – oh yeah, and then the world will end again.

From a well-known economist...
First, for all the talk of an information economy, ultimately an economy must serve consumers -- and consumers don't want information, they want tangible goods. In particular, the billions of Third World families who finally began to have some purchasing power as the 20th century ended did not want to watch pretty graphics on the Internet -- they wanted to live in nice houses, drive cars, and eat meat. Second, the Information Revolution of the late 20th century was -- as everyone should have realized -- a spectacular but only partial success. Simple information processing became faster and cheaper than anyone had imagined possible; but the once confident Artificial Intelligence movement went from defeat to defeat. As Marvin Minsky, one of the movement's founders, despairingly remarked, "What people vaguely call common sense is actually more intricate than most of the technical expertise we admire". And it takes common sense to deal with the physical world -- which is why, even at the end of the 21st century, there are still no robot plumbers.

Most important of all, the prophets of an "information economy" seem to have forgotten basic economics. When something becomes abundant, it also becomes cheap. A world awash in information will be a world in which information per se has very little market value. And in general when the economy becomes extremely good at doing something, that activity becomes less rather than more important. Late 20th-century America was supremely efficient at growing food; that was why it had hardly any farmers. Late 21st-century America is supremely efficient at processing routine information; that is why the traditional white-collar worker has virtually disappeared from the scene.

My prediction is people will get tired of blogs and realize they suffer from internet addiction.

They will also realize the "life" is better lived in 3D, not from a computer screen, and thereby start moving away from the net, and if the net wants to survive, then it'll have to be more part of the real world, not the virtual world.

I predict the end of most large corporations we see today. People will realize Microsoft really know much about anything except building bloated software. The Yahoo can only copy creative ideas from Google, not innovate. And the IBM will always follow, not lead, and that overpriced, complicated solutions aren't really that good afterall. And that Web 2.0 and its' applications are really not that big a deal, same wine different bottle.

It’s a little bit disappointing. All predictions are about some major companies that for sure will stay for next 10-15 years. What about tendencies in the Internet, new technologies and small startups? Yes, there are couple words about it but it is definitely is not enough. Just my two cents.
