11 'tecdencias' for 2011

Weeks before year-end technology companies, security consulting and media reviewed the lived and are released to predict what will happen from next week. CA Technologies, Gartner, McAfee, Cisco, Forrester ... have done their analysis and studies and prophecies. In short, 2011 will be more than 2010.

1.Watch and see in 3D. 3D TV will be more, but less expensive, and besides, the glasses will be essential. The phenomenon will spread to the cameras and game consoles. The increase in content will also encourage the purchase of these receptors, although it will be a slow journey.
2. Tablets, just the beginning.


There will be a rain of tablets, multimedia computers less than a kilo. Each brand will, at least. The netbooks will be in the doldrums, but not the e-reader, a stronghold of good fond of reading.

3. Worse than a control plant: a computer attack. During 18 minutes of 1 April, 15% of Internet traffic was diverted to China. NASA, the U.S. Senate, the Department of Defense ... It was an attack, but something more sophisticated. Gartner predicts that at least one of the countries of the G-20 will fall victim to online sabotage critical infrastructure damage.

4. Applications, mobile home. 2010 was the year of application, but only the beginning of what is to come.
IDC predicts that downloads jump from 11,000 million today to about 77,000 million in 2014. The aplis will be added to the home. "The extension of aplis every aspect of our personal and professional life will be one of the events of the decade," says Scott Ellison, IDC.

5. Everything with your Internet address. The overall traffic will grow by 34% in 2011, increasing by four per year until 2014, according to Cisco. Faced with this growth, which corresponds to 2,000 million Internet users in 2011 and over 4,000 billion-connected wireless devices, businesses and administrations should migrate to IPv6.
This new Internet protocol does not limit the number of addresses that can be assigned to each person and device. The current IPv4 addresses could run out in months, according to Cisco. With IPv6 it is possible that everything has its IP address, as today has a barcode.

6. NFC mobile payments. NFC technology (Near Field Communication, short-range communication) is confident that this is the year of its launch. At the moment only 4% of mobile NFC are integrated, but in 2014 and will account for 13% according to iSuppli. All Nokia smartphones will take this year, Google announced Android Apple 2.3 and probably include it in iPhone5.

7. Mobility or stagnation. Next year there will be 1,000 million mobile workers who demand access to corporate resources and applications anytime, anywhere. Cisco provides the mobile data traffic grows 108% annually until 2014.

8. Social networks or social network. Many want to be Facebook, but Facebook only have one. The social network Facebook and its power could surpass Google this year.

9. The video stars the communication. For the first time in the history of the Internet, P2P (Point to Point connection) is no longer the major type of network traffic, is video: one third of all traffic generated by consumers in early 2011 will approach 40% (not including the video exchanged through P2P networks).

10. The information in the clouds. Grow the cloud computing (cloud computing), which lets you store and access data and applications on the Internet. According to Cisco, the computer 88% of respondents expected house of the applications and data from their online business. In Spain, 44% of companies committed to hosting more than half of their corporate information on private cloud environments.

11. Shopping. Times of crisis are good for those with real money, ie: Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Google. Do your victims? Those who want. Regardless of the future, there are several devices that have release date in 2011. Within the anticipated shortage of news, one of the most advertised and safe release is the Nintendo handheld 3D camera in three directions.

No need for glasses, is due in March and the United States cost about $ 300. Before the console, RIM probably present in Barcelona, the Mobile World Congress with its tablet Playbook, BlackBerry's answer to Apple and Samsung. Perhaps by then, Apple already has a seven-inch tablet, to cover the niche market that has opened the Tab Samsung, and will also release its iPhone mobile 5.

In this mix of instruments and functions, perhaps Sony launches the PlayStation Phone, well designed for gaming. Meet at the mobile exhibition in Barcelona. Also, after several delays, the first laptops will come with Google Chrome the operating system.
