An Era of Innovation – The Future of Taiwan’s High-Tech Industries
Introduction
According to an IDC survey conducted amongst CEOs of BSA members such as Microsoft, Autodesk, Adobe, etc., the top ten technologies predicted in the next decade will be: wireless networks, web services, XML, security and digital right management, nanotechnology, vast networks of small sensors, real-time communications, grid and distributed computing, collaboration technology, and voice-over-internet technology. Software will be the main driving force of future technological development.
