"...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought." - Albert Einstein

Predictions for the New Year

The new year is approaching and we can expect to see the year in retrospect and predicitons coming from the media. We at Damon4.com do not want to disappoint you. With an early jump here is our first prediction.

The number of home servers will start to increase during the new year. In 3 years time the number of home servers will reach 15% of the US population and will only then be recognized as a watershed event. People will start subscribing to static ip addresses and run their own internet servers. Cable will be the first connection medium but 'other' medium (DSL?) will enable home servers as well in following years.

The enabling factor for this will be Windows Vista. The reason consumer will do this will be the connected home and communications.

That sounds like a wise prediction. How about some PERSONAL LIFE predictions? Any new life events coming up?

Do you know of any articles that talk about Vista and home servers?

No. I am trying to assimilate some bits of information and came up with that prediction. Microsoft Rally technology and I heard every Vista install has its own IP address.
