We've left the Information Age and moved into the Information Overload Age. The up coming wave of job opportunities will probably be focused on solving that problem by converting the information into understanding - otherwise, the information is worthless. Think about this, we're creating such an abundance of data at this time that human beings lost the capability to stay up with it some time ago. Systems (can you say "AI"?) will have to do this for us. If you intend to ride the next IT trend, I'd concentrate on artificial intelligence. Views anybody?
