I heart Nova Spivak. The grandson of management professor Peter Drucker, Spivak is an intellectual in his own right. Not only is he a semantic web pioneer and technology visionary, he's also founded Twine, one of the first semantic web services out there. I think he's one of the brightest minds today regarding ideas about the future of the Web. He's a visionary. Here's a synopsis of Spivak's treatise Future of the Desktop.
(2) The Browser is Going to Swallow Up the Desktop
(3) The focus of the desktop will shift from information to attention
(4) Users are going to shift from acting as librarians to acting as daytraders
(5) The Webtop will be more social and will leverage and integrate collective intelligence
(6) The desktop of the future is going to have powerful semantic search and social search capabilities built-in
(7) Interactive shared spaces will replace folders
(8) The Portable Desktop
(9) The Smart Desktop
(10) Federated, open policies and permissions
(11) The personal cloud
(12) The WebOS (Web operating system)
(13) Who is most likely to own the future desktop?
