...one on the Eurasian continent, one in North America and one in South America.
Don't these people know that most of what is done with computers is not done by "Mobile Workers", but by people sitting at a desk entering data. A laptop is not the ideal device for data entry... The keyboard is at the wrong angle, too small for most people to use comfortably and too close to the monitor. And don't suggest that voice recognition will solve these problems. The mouth-brain connection is simply not efficient enough for speech recognition to work well in most situations (e.g. Order entry) even if you could get it to work with an acceptable level of accuracy.

Duh. The predictions are somewhat applicable to enterprises, less so to the general internet community. Interrupt-driven IMs are not a total replacement for email in any timeframe, although IM with collaboration and presence are good tools for many specific environments. None of these predictions are earth shaking -- any unified communications vendor would offer the same. IBM is not a leader in this space, but it can bring top line unified communications applications to many of its high end enterprise customers.
