The dilemma.... what emerging technology to go with in my research

As i try to finalise what my major emerging technology reports will be based on, im stuck with what to choose and go with...

At first i was leaning towards nanotechnology, as this is a fairly new emerging technology. However, the information on this technology is really in its infacy and hasn't really created many applications within business that i would be able to talk about in my research reports.

After much deliberation and consultation with the course co-ordinator, i decided to go with "Virtualisation" as this was a technology which i was familiar with and how it is making a re-emergence again in the business world again once more.

Light Peak continued...

Found a really interesting article on cnet.com in regards to Light Peak and how intel is bringing the optical technology to the masses.

One special thing to note is that light peak is looking at replacing all existing connectors into the one type of connector...

"Intel's hope for Light Peak is to create a single connection for video, storage devices, the network, printers, Webcams, and anything else that plugs into a PC. Light Peak uses circuitry that can juggle multiple communication protocols at the same time, and the Light Peak promise is for a universal connector to replace today's incompatible sockets for USB, FireWire, DVI, DisplayPort, and HDMI. It's a hot-plug technology, meaning that devices can be linked when they're up and running. "
