Top Tech Trends for 2012

I love this time of year for all the “Best of the Year”-type lists that come out.  And one of my absolute favourites of these type of lists are the “Top Tech Trends for the Coming Year” ones.

For 2012, a writer for Mashable.com is predicting the following as the big trends:

  • Touch Computing
  • Social Gestures
  • NFC and Mobile Payments
  • Beyond the iPad
  • TV Everywhere
  • Voice Control
  • Spatial Gestures
  • Second-screen experiences
  • Flexible screens
  • HTML5

Pretty exciting.  I’ve said it before but I love living in the future!  (In fact, going further into the future, IBM is predicting mind-reading computers within five years – although they may be cheating a bit since that technology is already in its infancy!)
