The future of .Net is looking excellent.  More and more large companies are adopting it for mission critical applications and onve most developers give it a try they never want to go back to where it is they have come from.  It's not going to go away any time soon.

Information technology, in particular, Software design...think of things like video games and programs.  They just released a list recently...either in Money, Fortune or Forbes...of the best occupations now and in the near future.

The best Business Idea this year was to take I Robot to IPO. They made a mint and increased awareness via free press coverage for well over a month. Made some good cash in the stock sales to boot. The I-Pod was a good second best business idea, but the "kids market" doesn't last long term or provide continuous sales to a fickle market segment.

Just about all of the current problems will be gone, one way or another, and there will be new ones to replace them.\n\nTechnology will be light years ahead.  The more things advance and the more knowledge we have the more we are capable of advancing more rapidly.  The changes in the world in the last 50 years will be nothing in comparison to the changes for the next 50 years.

keep an open mind and see what's out there!\n\nwith this company below a USA opportunity is brought right to your doorstep!\nbecause 90% of this US company's revenue comes from international business...the domestic market in USA is literally virgin!\n\nget involved in a successful organisation (preferably a public corporation) that itself is involved in the 3 Power Trends driving the world right now:\n- the Internet\n- products used by the "Baby Boomer" population\n- & true GLOBAL Distribution!!\n\nhttp://www.teaminmotion.net/guest.html\n(install Flash player beforehand)\n\ncheck it out and email me (click Nick on left)\n\nyour time spent on it, may set you up for a long time to come.\n\ni'm the only one in SG involved at the moment...& legally.\njoin in Early for endless possibilities.\n(in fact, many countries/states are virgin markets!)\n\nonly once in every 10-20 years does one chance upon a company going into momentum phase of this magnitude!\n...like buying into Microsoft stock before Windows was invented!

Balderdash and bilgewater, and bullspit. You still will need humans to implement it, and we are still slow and lazy.\n\nHave you noticed we have been in the 21st century 5 years already? Have you noticed how much more progressive we are today than 6 years ago? Or have we been slowing down? We have even tired of a military engagement after 3 years. Our focus is getting shorter, and it is still US that must use the new "progress".

yes....the future will see wireless internet for everyone. Some cities already have free hi-speed wireless. At the very least, dial up will be completely replaced by cable and DSL. BUT the future is WIRELESS EVERYTHING, not just internet. Wireless stereo systems, security systems, etc.\n\nI agree that AOL is passe, now that people are becoming internet literate AOL is seen by most as what it is, a service for people that need to be led by the hand.
