Yes we have seen the lows, and we will bounce around for 3 to 5 years slowing making progress there after. I see no new catalyst to drive the tech sector near term . The shake out has mostly been completed from the halcyon days of the so called new economy. They are in the assessment mode now of what to do with what they have. The internet and online commerce will be a driver again but it's going to take time to make the experience more human and fruitful. GPS (Global Positioning Systems) will be playing a big part in my mind on the retail side with handhelds and targeted sales promotion based on location and likes and dislikes and of course logistics in the manufacturing side. It's all about efficiency in manufacturing, making a knowledgeable purchase/transaction and having accurate and speeding support after the sale. Both B2B and B2C models are moving to increase the customer satisfaction component as I type, this is a must. It's hard to remove the entrenched face to face sales to buyer method that has taken decades to create, and replace with an online derivative that will be satisfactory to everyone involved, but there is no turning back. IMHO So, I see a few years of honing online transaction, with more voice, better intelligent help desk, and more accurate searching and more secure verifiable sales which in time will slowly start moving the market again once the systems are more mature.
