Gartner's Top Ten Trends for 2013

Gartner Group has come out with their annual publication of the top ten trends in technolgy for 2013. For the most part, the list is predictable. The growing importance of mobile devices is featured, for example. But they won't replace PCs any time soon. PCs are deeply embedded in the work world, and in fact most of the applications used in business cannot be used effectively on mobile devices. Maybe eventually, but not yet. On the other hand, the number of devices in use to access the internet, and the sheer volume of usage might outstrip PCs at any time.

Other predictions feature the growing use of the cloud for personal purposes. This makes sense in a multi-device world, where people on the move will want to have access to their data without always having to synchronize their various devices.

And the growth of big data and data analytics is an important trend that cannot be denied.
