CSS, Ajax, Akamai/S3 caching, compression, P2P... all of these technologies reduce bandwidth, not increase them. If networks truly start to chug, you can bet your butt that the companies who are streaming tons of multimedia will find ways to relieve the pressure as well. Enough already! My prediction is the growth of the micro site. We've done the massive sites and are growing weary of them. Instead of Facebook, it will be the year of Ning. Social networks will continue to evolve into incredibly targeted networks - both geographically and by topic. People are going to continue to organize and build networking efficiency. People API's will continue to evolve with virtual address books for maintaining data securely and in real-time. And email and spam will continue to suck. Email is stuck as a textual medium until Microsoft begins supporting multimedia messaging. Spam will continue to be the bane of our existence... well... because dumb people will still click through. Spam wouldn't exist if it wasn't working. But the screams of the consumer will get louder!
