I don't think I've ever met a Zune owner. Sounds like a mythological creature.

So you think consulting will slow? Interesting, since I tend the other way. Outsourcing functions is cheaper in a lot of cases vs. FTEs with benefits, etc. Maybe we're talking different areas of consulting expertise.

I like the call on startups flourishing, but not traditional startups, bootstrapped ones that are side projects, not full-time gigs.

Technology providing efficiencies is money, and I think that's where the consulting gigs will be.

Thanks for chiming in with your predictions, good stuff.

Opinions are great. Add a dash of time (pun intended), and you get a prediction. Care to share any of yours?

I predict it will take Microsoft more than 10 days to resolve the Zune 30GB year 2009 bug. Ha ha Zune owners!

I think the economy situation is going to hinder consulting. (Probably not the biggest newsflash…) But I think it will be the catalyst for more startups as people who are out of work come up with ways to try and make ends meet. The upside of all the economic doom and gloom is that more companies will look for technology to provide better efficiencies in their business.

Just share opinions.
That's right!
Many opinions (right or wrong anyway) can make good idea.
