You know you are getting close to the end of the year when you start to see articles with predictions for the year ahead.

This article from smh.com.au has a bit of an Australian slant, however throws up some interesting ideas as what to expect in 2008 in the world of IT.  

I agree with the comments on the growth of Facebook and 2008 will an interesting year in Australia, with a new Government which is commited to buiding an world class broadband infrastructure for Australia.  

I think you will see an increaed focus on eco computing and this will be driven by the consumer, who will demand from companies an effort to reduce their carbon foot print and their emissions.   There is no better way for a company to prove its green credentials than to start in its datacentre and with its computer infrastructure.
