NYT: 14 Media & Technology Convergence Trends

securitas writes "The New York Times Business/Media section looks at 14 media and technology industry convergence trends and ideas to watch in 2004 (Google link). Trends range from the stampede to flat-screen TV/display business, Japan's 3G mobile phone experiment, biometrics as a global ID system for security, identification and authentication, the impact of PVRs (personal video recorders), Internet advertising and paid search engine listings, the Google IPO and venture capital technology investment, what the movie studios call piracy but what is really copyright infringement, and many other trends and ideas. It will take you a while to read through all 14 pages, but it's definitely good food for thought. Which 2004 technology and media trends and ideas did the New York Times staff miss? Discuss."

    What the NYT missed is that it is getting bypassed because of its ridiculous "lets lock the site" decision. The user id/password system they have basically says "nothing here, move along to a site like news.com, slashdot, or even drudge which does not present you with a locked door when you visit."
