Home for the holidays where the pace is slow and the internet is slower.

And speaking of slow internet, tech dorks are forecasting a gridlock in internet traffic in 2008. As Web 2.0 evolves more internet dependent gadgets and applications are popping up. While casual web surfing may slow down, P2P will also grow and networks will become more packed than Beijing on Chinese New Year.

Of course, forecasters have been predicting every year that progress would be killed by infrastructure limitations, and the truth is that the limitations are merely inhibiting. If the cable companies or Congress don't do something, Google inevitably will. And is.

Anyway, the Dear Sirs at Economist are much more eloquent on this matter than I. Personally, I need to predict that I can make this website finally look pretty in 2008.

Surprise Prediction of the Year from Accenture: Innovation will drive growth! Could be the panacea we're looking for. Way to go geniuses.
