Welcome to 2009

Today is the first day of the New Year.  I hope that the next 364 days are very good to everyone.

This is just a short blog post to acknowledge this milestone.  I could do something like see how many of the predictions I made last year came true, but I'll give you a hint: I was wrong about most of them!

However, I do think that 2009 will be a great year for technology.  I hope to see many advances across the board.

I also think that 2009 will be a trying time for almost everyone.  We have a weakening global economy and various conflicts around the globe.  I hope that all of us try to make things easier for someone else in some way every day.

    Owen,
    I did have a great New Years eve! I hope you did as well.

    We have talked about this via Twitter, but, to share with my readers who don't follow that particular communication channel, technology will be extremely disruptive to every part of our lives in the near future. And the level of disruption will only continue to exponentially increase while we struggle to find meaning in the ways that many parts of our lives will be redefined.

    I hope to put more concrete thoughts about this in a future blog post!
  • Hi Anjuan, I hope you had a great New Years evening last night?

    I agree, when you consider that the human mind doubles in knowledge every year technology is even more exponential. In the next year we will have 32 times more technical advancement. we are doubling at what is called the paradigm shift rate, the rate of technical progress every decade.
