The 10 Next Big Things

Read/Write Web is a great blog (or is it an online magazine?) for anyone who wants to keep up with emerging internet trends.

Last week, they published an article entitled 10 Future Web Trends, which is worth a read.

My quick comments on this are:

a) I would have called the article "10 current web trends". Everything on the list is happening already. Many future trends will not yet have been anticipated.

b) I wouldn't hold my breath on the semantic web. This has been a "next big thing" for so long it's akin to nuclear fission or the paperless office. A good idea in theory, but not practical.

c) I'd put internet TV and video nearer to the top of the list. These technologies are going get bigger, and spread everywhere, in the short to medium term.
