A look at what 2008 brought us and where we might be moving in 2009. While this list tends to be only technology related at present, some of these are nonetheless very interesting. My favourites:

• Flexible Displays – Leading the way to wearable computers and all other kinds of possibilities.
• GPS – We are now seeing the trend of attaching GPS coordinated geographical information to any and every kind of database available. Imagine reminder services that not only remind you of time but also the place of activation. So the next time you are at a superstore your mobile will automatically bring in the grocery list. Ahh.. life will be so much easier.
