2007 Press Clippings

This area is a place to collect the "Technologies to Watch" lists published by other organizations. Each of these serves a different audience and purpose than does the Horizon Report, but contain many useful descriptions and discussions that can and should inform our work.


  • BECTA Emerging technologies for learning
    http://partners.becta.org.uk/index.php?section=rh&catcode=_re_rp_ap_03&rid=11380
    "These publications consider how emerging technologies may impact on education in the medium term. They are not intended to be a comprehensive review of educational technologies, but offer some highlights across the broad spectrum of developments and trends. They highlight some of the possibilities that are developing and the potential for technology to transform our ways of working, learning and interacting over the next three to five years."

  • Futurists Pick Top Tech Trends

    Taking a long-term view isn't easy nowadays.
    Even the recent past seems blurry at times. Google's just seven years old, but it's hard to imagine life before instant search. Broadband has been widely available for only a few years, but already dialup internet seems to high-speed users like a throwback to the Neanderthal era.
  • IBM Innovation Jam 2006: Emergin technologies
    http://www.globalinnovationjam.com/get_started2006/emerge/index.shtml
    IBM's large event focusing on innovation, highlights six areas of emerging technologies including Embedded Intelligence, Extracting Insight, Global Collaboration for Individuals, Global Collaboration for Companies, Practical Supercomputing, and Intelligent IT Systems.
  • Top 10 Technologies 2006

    For the fourth consecutive year, professionals who sit at the intersection of information technology and accounting have selected Information Security as the number one technology to watch in 2006, according to the results of the 17th annual Top Ten Technologies survey of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Four new technologies join six holdovers on the 2006 list: Assurance and Compliance, IT Governance, Privacy Management, and Spyware Detection and Removal.
  • Top 10 Tech Trends
    http://litablog.org/2006/06/25/the-annual-top-10-trends-extravaganza/
    This is always a great session. This year, the format was a little different and allowed for more time and discussion between the panel members and the audience. I liked the new set up, but I wished the panel members would have gotten a couple more minutes each. They were limited to five and Walt Crawford, as moderator, did a good job of keeping them within their limits.
