Some worrying predictions

[domaingenius]

These are some predictions from an article on BBC.

Gartner also predicted that:

# By 2010, the average total cost of ownership of new PCs will fall by 50%

# By 2010, 60% of the worldwide cellular population will be "trackable" via an emerging "follow-me internet"

# By the end of 2007, 75% of enterprises will be infected with undetected, financially motivated, targeted malware that evaded their traditional perimeter and host defences

with more computers and more mobile internet users that means more interest in the web and therefore more likely to get a personal presence via a domain name!

virtualsecurity does not sound secure enough and actualsecurity also sounds like its got more on the label than whats in the tin.

How about totalsecurity it sounds far more confident..pity its already registered.

The reason i reg'd 'virtual' instead of 'actual '=

Infrastructure Protection Key to Information Security Market's Future
By 2010, high-profile attacks against IP telephony systems will highlight the lack of security that creates vulnerabilities. By 2011, one-fifth of large-enterprise desktops and 70% of servers will employ virtual security partitions.

One of the prediction: Predicts 2007 (Markets)

I was just saying something similar today to someone - the current age of people who know no different to an internet world is ~22ish .

As they age and technology advances the use of the internet can only grow.

If domains will still be about is another question
