The year has started and I keep wondering what technologies and developments will be important this year in IT.
I think its gonna be touch technologies and 3D. We saw lots of improvement with multitouch and things like that last year and now the first netbooks are coming with touchscreens I am curious how goog they will work.
Integrating cheap hardware, broadband access, touch- and Web 2.0 Technologies seems to me a very good idea for everyone running around using their notebook just for things like looking up e-mails, coordinating projekts and maybe typing a small document or a calculation.

On the other hand low cost 3D Technologies become available, Nvidia introduced active stereo equipment last week that works with 120Hz displays. I really would like to get a grip on one of these things - just to play around and see if its really that good. I am not much of a games but I think theres a lot of potential in CAD and 3D-Design.

Today I got up and wanted to do the things I usually do, read emails, load my IM, check the usual news sites and so on.
Booting up Windows or one of the Linux Distributions I have installed for test purposes took too long. I want a distribution i can fire up in a few seconds and would be perfectly happy with a browser, that does all that fancy Web 2.0 stuff. So I looked around but the only thing looking promising to me is the new gOS named "Cloud" that is not ready for download. Guess I'll have to wait for a few.

So this seems to be my blog. Never thought I get this far to write articles on the internet. But, here I am, its meant for discussing and remembering things, news and discussions I found on the Internet. Anyone who is interested is welcome to read along. If not, I don't mind.
