I get really tired of knowing exactly where to invest, and not having a half million laying around.
Cloud computing and big data would have been big, until it was revealed that the NSA was spying on all internet traffic. This has cut into the foreign cales of IBM and Cicso already, and will continue until trust can be restored.

There is no grand idea that marketing can't turn into a worstest nightmare ever.
maybe something that will allow you to surf on the internet privately without the government spying on you
Technology is growing exponentially. Look at mobile phones alone. I remember when, about 20-25 years ago, I shut down my old VHF mobile telephone system and became a cellular agent.
It was such a big deal...A phone in a bag, and an antenna on the car roof. It was also exclusive. One had to be subjected to a credit check just to be connected.
Today, every poor kid around me has one or two pocket phones that take excellent photographs in addition to texting and making calls. Between my wife and I, we have 3-4 of them. Our 3 yr old boy plays games on one, only when his I-pad is charging. We get instant text from anywhere in the world, and to think, we live in a third world country.
Dwarfing mobile communications is the internet. Just look at how it has progressed and changed the world over the last 25 years. For me it opened the entire world, and has influenced my life beyond my imagination. If not for the internet, I would probably still be in Tennessee, dreaming of that once in a lifetime Caribbean cruise.
Just imagine life when all of this will be on a chip, glued in under one’s scalp....Beam me up Scotty !
My picks for next 36 months (maybe longer): CTIX, DSNY, SPIHf, XXII
Just my opinion…..
For work, I have two 21" screens and at times that is not enough real estate. NO WAY could I do any real work on a tablet. In fact, just last night I decided to not finish something I was working on with my 15" laptop and wait until I got into work this morning to my big screens. Not big spreadsheets, just multiple files that I need to see side by side, not flipping between on a tiny screen.
Tablets will not replace the ginormous business PC market anytime soon.
I can’t keep up with all this tech advancement, I can’t even figure out how to take a picture with my flip open cell phone.......I am so screwed.
