Day 30 – Where do you see technology advancing in the next 20 years – and where will you fit in?
I believe the next 20 years will bring a lot of new and exciting technology. But that is too long to predict what will occur.
- I think HTML5 will finally be here, and the iPhone/Android wars will be over.
- Java will still be in use. And so will COBOL 🙂
- We should have cool virtual reality glasses by then, or a system that will project as a hologram instead of requiring a monitor.
- The idea in movies of not needing a keyboard or mouse (and manipulating objects in the holographic projection) seems really cool. Can they pull it off? No clue.
- All monitors will be touch screens. And all glass will be tough like iPhone screens.
- All cars will have integrated technology, a monitor for communication, traffic, GPS and more, instead of a stereo.
Where will I fit in? I am most happy when I am working with others, communicating and managing. I am good with technology, and I will stay involved with tech topics, but I do not see myself doing much active development, except as a hobby. I see myself as a CTO or Business Technology Manager for a large firm in 20 years, somewhere I can focus on strategic planning and guiding others into successful decisions.
That’s it for the 30 Days of Geek series of blog posts. I will now move on to some topics in other areas, but it has been fun !
