Forbes: Top 10 Technologies For 2012

// 7 December 2011

The road ahead

Excerpt from a guest post appearing in Forbes by Heidi Sinclair, President, Global Technology at Weber Shandwick.

We are living in the midst of a powerful technological revolution that dwarfs, yet builds on, everything that has come before. That makes predicting the big technologies for 2012 like tracking the progress of Formula One race cars: You know there will be breakaway winners as well as fantastic crashes. It is all about speed. Speed of change, speed to market and the speed that is now part of everything we do thanks to technology.

So off to the races.

Here my list of the top 10 technologies for next year:

1. Tablets
2. Interfaces
3. Social
4. Internet of things
5. Apps
6. Big data
7. Analytics
8. Storage
9. Entertainment everywhere
10. Cloud computing
