I am going to agree Mr. Forten but also add the mobility piece. I think that cloud computing is what will enable and accelerate the mobile internet.

If all my data and application are in the cloud then I can be more mobile. These changes support each other. However, we still have to face the reality that this will be the minority for some time.

Not everyone is interested in purchasing a 200-400 dollar mobile device and paying $100 or more per month for mobile internet access. The current U.S. economy will drive the growth of the cloud. But mobile will suffer due to the cost.

Everything will be even more personalised with everyone trying to network together through as many networks as possible – even if they are pretty pointless. Mobile Internet is also on the increase.

I think with google now to launch time based, as well as user-centric searches, the future will be interesting somewhat!?

I wrote a blog post about this, but I believe two major trends will become more and more popular in 2010.

For one, the Internet marketing industry is going through a correction of sorts, and we’ll see more time-tested, real-world marketing strategies applied to the Internet. Like branding, positioning, customer relationship management, etc.

Second, cloud computing.

This is going to be huge, especially with Chrome OS, MS Office Live, and a bunch of others — especially the realm of SaaS (software as a service).

I go into greater depth on my blog. To save space, here’s the link to my blog post. Moderator, if it’s inappropriate for this blog, please delete it, with my apologies:
