Digestion
Interesting post from Alex Iskold: The Digestion Phase: How We Got Here And Where We Are Going Next.
We have entered a digestion phase. It is not a burst, nor a recession. Rather, a digestion phase is a period of time for us to reflect, to integrate, and to understand recent technologies and how they fit together. It is the outcome of this phase that will decide if we continue to slide or if we rebound and start climbing back up. The deciding factor will be the true value of the technologies that we created.
…
Because every year technology is moving faster and faster, new things will happen sooner rather than later. And each digestion phase is becoming shorter and we are becoming more used to exploring, embracing, and internalizing new technologies. Digital Life, Attention Economy, Intelligent Machines, Semantic Search and Web Sites as Web Services are just a few new ideas that we are already are thinking about.
