Gartner predictions

[Robert Brockway]

Gartner make many predictions about the future of the IT industry but if 
you try to find information on how successful previous predictions were 
information is sorely limited.

Well I just found an article from 2002 which goes into Gartner's 
predictions for 2010.  You be the judge of how close they were to reality 
:)

The claim about a reduced workforce as a result of automation is 
interesting.  Everytime someone automates part of my job (as a sysadmin) I 
end up with more work to do, and it is more interesting work.  This is a 
natural function of the layer nature of IT.

Cheers,

Rob
