14 predictions for 2013: Big Data consolidation and cloud rules

Predicting the future is usually a game played by fools. No matter how smart you think you are, things always go beyond the logical side, not only to make predictions wrong, but even to deviate completely from predictions. That's probably why we have smartphones, not flying backpacks.

You might as well come to the end of 2012 and see what

The ReadWrite team tried to use the end of the year to gaze at the coming 2013, and prepared 14 things that could happen in the coming years, and ReadWrite to the consumer and business perspective. In fact, this is ReadWrite's first annual forecast of such a broad range of important technologies, and you might as well see what you can do at the end of 2012.

At the same time, we absolutely guarantee that every prediction will be achieved in 2013 ... Of course, unless, if things change, all bets fail.

Consumer forecasts

Free participation in the game will become mainstream:

Free participation in the game (F2P) will no longer be limited to small informal games or mobile games, the concept of free participation in the game will be effectively expanded, at least a large budget, high configuration, 3A franchise game, and the current industry's best game competition. Unlike games that currently require up-front investment, future games will be invested in advertising and in the form of implantable purchases. If this model succeeds, it will change the game profit model for sale forever. ------Cormac Foster

Noisy social media opens the door for the integrator:

The noise of social media has become more strident and incomprehensible. The integrator will be a powerful agent for new social media, helping to manage competitive social trends and connect disparate services. ------Taylor Hatmaker

Social media clears the line between citizens and journalists:

Real-time social platforms will continue to expand the voice of citizens and journalists worldwide, which will lead to the disappearance of the hung line between the relevance and urgency of known news and popular sources of coverage. ------Taylor Hatmaker

Facebook will have a big deal:

Expect Facebook to do a big deal, at least on a large scale. Facebook has wasted a lot of time on the mobile business, with Microsoft's Atlas or some other relevant platform. ------Taylor Hatmaker

Twitter will face more competition:

Services such as App.net have supported micro-idea services with more than 140 characters and attracted public attention. Google + may now be a joke, but in 2013 there will be no sound of rapid development. Google is patiently playing a protracted war and offering deeper product services. -----Taylor Hatmaker

Mobile Security crisis:

Security experts have warned about mobile security vulnerabilities years ago, but no one really listens. This will happen in 2013, and huge security problems will haunt every mobile device, steal personal information, eavesdrop on phones, and more likely to change the way people use mobile devices. ------Fredric Paul.

Apple will release TV:

In the spring of 2013, we will see Apple television release, not streaming TV set-top box, but the real Apple TV. Apple TV can be south by a number of technical conferences, such as consumer electronics exhibitions, the Mobile World Congress, and the Southwest Congress. In March 2013, Apple will be officially announced. ------Dan Rowinski.

Enterprise forecast

Enterprise Counterattack:

In the 2013, if the company's target customer type is social media or mobile business, the form of such startups will be bleak. As VCs wake up from the bubbles of Facebook, Zynga and Groupon, they will be more focused on the underlying economy, such as consumer payments and other revenue-earning businesses. ------Tim Devaney and Tom Stein

Enterprise Bubble Expansion:

Corporate transformation is both good news and bad news. The good news is that Silicon Valley will go back to solving real business problems. The bad news is that we're going to see a huge bubble in business-to-business start-ups, as we've seen in corporate companies. This may happen again by next year. ------Dan Lyons.

Government to tighten Internet control:

This year, the Anti-Cyber Piracy Act of the United States (SOPA) and the IPR Protection Act (PIPA), and the European anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), all suggest that the Government is ready to adjust the Internet. In 2013, the U.S. parliament will also pass the anti-Online Piracy Act (Stop Line Piracy Act). ------Adam Popescu

Apple enters the enterprise:

In 2013, despite the dramatic changes in Windows 8, the difficulties with Windows RT support and the flaws on the Windows 8 tablet led companies to opt for a larger number of Apple devices. But this is not to say that the era of Microsoft is intermediary, after a year of innovation, Microsoft is also brewing a counterattack. ------Jon Mitchell

Cloud rule:

The early stages of cloud computing are over. Today, many small start-ups and departmental-level teams with little capital need more rapid resource acquisition speed, and therefore need a wide range of applications for cloud computing deployments. In the 2013, we will see the more widely used cloud services in the enterprise, which can be flexible to calculate cost-effectiveness, and cloud services are so attractive that they cannot be overlooked. Expect a OpenStack product to be more productive, and Amazon's Web services and cloudstack rise to meet more challenges. ------Brian Proffitt

Large Data consolidation:

Large data------are often defined as useful insights into how companies collect and sift through large amounts of data------will be driven by large conglomerates and attract large amounts of investment. Funds are flowing in the undertow and will see a series of mergers or acquisitions in the future. As a traditional technology provider, a large number of start-ups are preparing to invest in their shopping cart lists. -----Antone Gonsalves

Google will turn into an Internet service provider:

In Kansas City, Google successfully tried to run Google Fiber. By the end of 2013, Google will be in the United States to choose the city to provide Google Fiber Internet services, but also to provide consumers with relevant pricing and choice of services. But Google's service will not include mobile data components, only providing home and corporate Internet, VOIP, and television three kinds of services. Google would be a better choice than an existing Internet service provider.
