The consumer technology landscape, once dominated by gadgets, is evolving into an interdependent web of devices, platforms and services. Significant "silos" remain, however, and some technically mature offerings will not be able to overcome business barriers to their success in the consumer market. Japan's domestic market for IT and telecoms is large and unique. We examine its takeup of new technologies, such as grid computing and wireless PDAs, that are either unique to Japan or being adopted at distinctive speeds. The potential for IT growth in Latin America is huge, yet IT adoption there follows a different pattern than in Europe, North America and even Asia/Pacific. Lack of expertise and low levels of service offerings in new technologies continue to challenge companies based in Latin America. Emerging technology applications in consumer goods are primarily focused on improving the product development process, facilitating collaboration and optmizing information utilization. To achieve critical business objectives, automotive companies must develop individual technology and process-implementation plans. To prioritize their investments, companies must understand the benefits as well as the relative maturity of those technologies and processes. China is becoming a powerful force in the information and communication technology industry. We examine its adoption of new technologies, from WiMAX and business process outsourcing to Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. Advances in electronics spur the bulk of developments in car design. Features like stereos and airbags are standard in many new cars and, before long, things like digital radios and smarter braking systems could be too. India has created a "larger than life" information and communication technology reputation. However, India's domestic ICT industry is not the same as its export industry. This Hype Cycle shows many of the emerging technologies that will drive India's domestic ICT industry. |
