Hi Lizzie, do you have any idea what the next killer app for the tech industry is likely to be? There seems to be a shortage of hot new products to drive growth right now. I'm wondering if the tech industry now has a golden future behind it.

In the 90s there was:
Windows 3.0, multimedia PCs, Windows 95 and the explosion of the dial-up internet driving growth in PC sales.

Networking of office computers followed by the growth of the internet driving sales of networking\communications equipment.

The roll out of the cell phone system to the masses driving comm chip sales.

Putting a PC on every desk, connecting them to networks and giving everybody a cell phone were 3 huge business opportunities. Can the next 10 years possibly be anything like as good as the last 10?

It was always obvious that cell phones were going to be a huge product...its not obvious ( to me ) that everybody is going to want streaming video on their cell phone, nor wireless PDAs. Apart from DSL\cable modems, there don't seem to be any huge new markets out there.
