Technology Trends 2009
What’s out there this year
Hardware
• Not so much in increases in processor speeds and RAM
• Current hardware standards will run new OS releases with little extra power necessary
• Revisions of major graphic cards• Move to mobile (iPhone, etc.)• Kindle ebook reader
Performance
• Need for performance has leveled off• Average user configurations set for
low-priced laptops • High end tabletop and mobile
modules with unique features like touch screen and 3D monitors

Operating Systems
• Google Chrome OS (Open-Source, Web-based) out in 2010
• Google Android (mobiles)• The new Windows 7 may not be adopted
as a standard for some time due to expected patches
• Windows Xp is viable up to 2014 and will remain as the Windows OS-of-choice in 2009
Operating Systems
• Windows 7
Operating Systems
• Google Chrome OS "The user interface is minimal to stay out of
your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the Web. And as we did for the Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don't have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work." -Google
Operating Systems
• Google Chrome OSIf Google can come up with an OS that can be downloaded, dropped onto any machine and then “just works,” we might just have the ultimate portable OS. Google is implicitly making the argument that there’s no need to pay the premium for a Microsoft OS, when there is [one] lighter, faster and free. -Wired
Operating Systems
• Google Chrome OS
Internet
• Social networking services (SNS) are changing the ways in which people use and engage with the Internet and with each other

Cloud Computing
• Resources and software services over the Internet
• The concept generally incorporates combinations of the following:– infrastructure as a service (IaaS) – platform as a service (PaaS) – software as a service (SaaS)
Cloud Computing
• Diagram
• Cloud computing customers do not generally own the physical infrastructure serving as host to the software platform
• Expected to be mainstream by 2011
