The Next Trend

Oh, this is exciting. In yet another Radar post, Open Source and William James, Tim O'Reilly presents a drawing entitled "Technology Cycles".

http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/01/open_source_and.html on 30-Jan-2007.

A fascinating diagram, which left me wondering what would be next, and how can I be a part of it? Where does mediavolunteer.org fall? Open data or proprietary... or both? Are we building to what is right now, or are we building for the next thing? The cycles in this graph are about 20 years long, and we are between 5 and 10 years into the Internet Era. Is it too early to be looking for the next thing?
