Has The "Technology Bounceback" Begun?

Posted by Hemos on from the questions-for-this-age dept.

jg21 writes "Has the 'return of technology' begun, asks this article in the wake of all the coverage of CES both here on Slashdot and elsewhere. But just as it's difficult to gauge how many swallows make a summer, how do you measure a technology bounceback? JDJ's suggestions include indicators from 2004 such as the doubling of Google's share price in just 6 months, the mega-sucess of the iPod, and the success of the Blackberry." Decent article that asks a good question; you'll have to wade through the ads to get to the real text.

    I don't know about the past, but with exciting new technology like the Rune Radionics leading the way I'm QUITE sure the bounceback will be here soon.
