The BBC's Tech Picks for 2012

At the end of 2011 the BBC asked a number of business technology experts what they predicted for the coming year.  Here are a few of their predictions.  This article was passed on to me by one of my colleagues (thanks Paul!)

• More tablets (iPad, Amazon)
• Open Graph technology becoming more widely used
• Cloud computing - apps will continue to develop
• Realtime content 
• Social TV
• Social media and email becoming more closely integrated
• New forms of energy
• Security - biometrics instead of passwords
• "Corporate springs" - customers have a bigger say in what companies do
• Generic top level domains
• Continued growth of smart mobile devices, including their use as transaction authentication devices
• Location based marketing
• BYOD
• Further evolution of gaming environments
