Ten Technology Strategies for 2008 via Gartner Group

Over at ComputerWorld, an article titled Gartner's top 10 strategic technologies for 2008:Whether you incorporate these technologies or not, they're not going away, the research firm says

Here are three items from the list:

Green IT--I don't view this as too much of a stretch...you want to catch attention now a days, add green infront of anything...just like the letter "e" oh so long ago.

Unified Communications--The coming together of seemingly unrelated systems like security cameras and marketing or store traffic data...this could be an interesting and possibly disturbing trend.

Social Software--Wikis, blogs, podcasts. This seems obvious. Especially as more and more people adopt these technologies. In fact, today I am giving session in Salt Lake City on this various topic to learning and development professionals who want to add these technologies to their toolkit.

What trends are you seeing and how do they relate to instructional technology and learning and development professionals?
