“Who cares what’s next? As long as you know how to market it when you see it.” I only partially agree with that sentiment. I agree you may not need to figure out what’s next first, but you cannot be far behind and you certainly do need to care or you will never be able to catch up, no matter how strong your marketing machinery is.

I would agree that ubiquitous computing and commoditized bandwidth are both far from new in theory, but they have a long way to go before we see them realized in practice. However, I do believe the explosion of streamed content as a primary form of consumption signifies a major milestone in the beginning of that realization.
