The Web Transmogrified 2: Predictions

December 29, 2008

These are not original ideas.

  • Print will die once everyone has a mobile computer. This may take a while, although perhaps not as long as one might think since Walmart is selling the iPhone.
  • Online catalog budgets for retailers will by in large surpass traditional merchandise catalog budgets, but ecommerce user experience will not change much, sadly.
  • Magazines will finally see the light and start investing in online publishing, spurring some minor innovations in online publishing, mostly in the area of online advertising, sadly.
  • All music will eventually be free via the web and all artists will make money through t-shirt sales and donations.
  • Most desktop apps will be cloud-ified.
  • George Agpoon’s internet buzzword, “cloudified”, will be embraced by hundreds.
