412360
Here are the top 10 most important technology issues for 2006, along with their definitions. New items for this year are noted as such. \n\n1. Information Security: The hardware, software, processes, and procedures in place to protect information systems from internal and external threats. It includes routers, perimeter firewalls, IP strategy, intrusion detection and reporting, content filtering, anti-virus, anti-spyware, password management, vulnerability assessment, patch management, personal firewalls, wireless security strategies, data encryption, locked facilities and user education.\n\n2. Assurance and Compliance Applications (e.g., SOX 404, ERM): Collaboration and compliance tools that enable various stakeholders to monitor, document, assess, test and report on compliance with specified controls. \n\n3. Disaster and Business Continuity Planning: The development, monitoring, and updating of the process by which organizations plan for continuity of their business in the event of a loss of business information resources due to impairments such as theft, virus infestation, weather damage, accidents, or other malicious destruction. This also includes business continuation and contingency planning.\n\n4. IT Governance: IT governance is a structure of relationships and processes to direct and control the enterprise in order to achieve the enterprise's goals by adding value, while still balancing risk versus return over IT and its processes. \n\n5. Privacy Management: Privacy encompasses the rights and obligations of individuals and organizations with respect to the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of personal information. As more information and processes are being converted to a digital format, this information must be protected from unauthorized users and from unauthorized usage by those with access to the data. This includes complying with local, state, national and international laws. \n\n6. Digital Identity and Authentication Technologies: A way to ensure users are who they say they are—that the user who attempts to perform functions in a system is in fact the user who is authorized to do so. This includes hardware and software solutions that enable the electronic verification of a user’s identity or a message’s validity, for example, digital certificates. This technology includes the use of bar codes, magnetic stripe, biometrics, tokens and access control for authentication, non-repudiation, and authorization.\n\n7. Wireless Technologies: Connectivity and transfer of data between devices via the airwaves, i.e. without physical connectivity. Wireless technologies include Bluetooth (PAN), infrared, WiFi (802.11 WLAN), Wi-Max (802.16), 2.5G & 3G (WWAN) and, satellite.\n\n8. Application and Data Integration: Using current and emerging technologies, including .NET, web-services, Java, XML (the foundation for XBRL) and Ajax, to facilitate integration of data between heterogeneous applications. In its most basic format, XBRL focuses on the agreement to improve gathering, analyzing and sharing business reporting data. For example updating a field in one application and have it automatically synchronize with other applications. This allows organizations to select and seamlessly integrate “best of breed” applications.\n\n9. Paperless Digital Technologies: Document and content management includes the process of capturing, indexing, storing, retrieving, searching, and managing documents electronically including database management (PDF and other formats). Knowledge management then brings structure and control to this information, allowing organizations to harness the intellectual capital contained in the underlying data.\n\n10. Spyware Detection and Removal: Technology that detects and removes programs attempting to covertly gather and transmit confidential user information without his or her knowledge or permission. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware pro

http://www.wired.com/ - The popular "Wired" magazine, a good general take on technology. Not very specific however, articles are hit/miss a lot.\n\nhttp://slashdot.org/ - More towards the computer world, but still an excellent resource. The forums are also filled with useful opinions.\n\nhttp://www.newscientist.com/ - A great site/magazine for all the happenings in Science & Technology, with a very modern and applicable viewpoint.

I believe that to get the complete list, you might have to subscribe to Science Citation Index or something like that through ISI.  You can get partial recent lists from this link:\n\nhttp://www.sciencegateway.org/impact/
