First Predictions for 2005

Red Herring gave a sneak peak of their technology related predictions for 2005 that will be released next week:

- "Dealing with bad genes just got a lot more promising. Recent discoveries in gene silencing stand to reward biotech companies in the field, along with those suffering from a vast array of diseases such as AIDS and diabetes."

- "Computer and electronics companies are racing to serve up 'digital homes' interconnected with smart devices, launching technology's next turf war - your living room."

- "As the chip industry tries to avoid a microprocessor meltdown, the historically indestructible Moore's Law is threatened."

The first two of these seem to offer amazing opportunities for entrepreneurial economic development for the next several years. Gene therapies and electronic convergence have been looming on the horizon as break through areas for commercialization. Maybe their day is finally here.
