The research agency Gartner Inc has identified emerging technologies for future and predicts that these will have a transformational business impact.
According to the report "Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2008," these should be considered for adoption by technology planners in the next 10 years.
"Although Web 2.0 is now entering the trough of disillusionment, it will emerge within two years to have transformational impact, as companies steadily gain more experience and success with both the technologies and the cultural implications," said Jackie Fenn, vice president, Gartner.
"Later -- in between two and five years -- cloud computing and service-oriented architecture (SOA), which is moving up the slope of enlightenment, will deliver transformation in terms of driving deep changes in the role and capabilities of IT,” he adds.
So, here’s looking into the emerging technologies for future.

Green IT
Along with broader societal pressure for environmentally sustainable solutions, IT has the opportunity -- and in many cases, a requirement -- to improve the "greenness" of its own activities, as well as to contribute to broader company and industry environmental initiatives.Cloud computing
As companies seek to consume their IT services in the most cost-effective way, interest is growing in drawing a broad range of services (for example, computational power, storage and business applications) from the "cloud," rather than from on-premises equipment.Many types of technology providers are aligning themselves with this trend, with the result that confusion and hype will continue for at least another year before distinct submarkets and market leaders emerge.
Social computing platforms
Following the phenomenal success of consumer-oriented social networking sites, such as MySpace and Facebook, companies are examining the role that these sites, or their enterprise-grade equivalents, will play in future collaboration environments.The scope is also expanding to incorporate the notion of social "platforms," or environments for a broad range of developers to build on the basic application.
Video telepresence
High-end videoconferencing systems (for example, from HP, Cisco, Teliris and others) that utilise large, high-definition (HD) displays and components to show life-size images of participants in meeting rooms or suites have proven significantly more effective than earlier generations of video conferencing technology.High cost is currently the barrier to broader adoption.
Microblogging
Pioneered by Twitter (although other services such as FriendFeed or Plurk are also available), microblogging is a relatively new addition to the world of social networking.In this contributors post a stream of very short messages (fewer than 140 characters) providing information about their current activity or thoughts, which can then be subscribed to by others.
The phenomenon has caught on among certain online communities, and leading-edge companies are investigating its role in enhancing other social media and channels.
