I'll give you a prediction. All this pie-in-the-sky tech in 2015 is going to be about 30% more expensive as the Rand has plummeted from R8 odd to the Dollar to R12 to the Dollar.

Heck at least the Yen has also dipped a bit, it makes sense to purchase Japanese stuff, almost.

The end of the consumerisation of IT: In 2015, the pendulum of technology adoption will begin to swing back to the enterprise market, reversing a decade long trend that went the other way – when mass adoption of technologies like large screen smartphones and tablets started with consumer adoption first.

WAT?

Let's see, adoption:
x86: Driven by consumers
Internet: Driven by consumers
Smartphone/Tablet: Driven by consumers

If anything companies are losing this battle.

I could just go on, but I those broad strokes are enough IMO. Am I misunderstanding this somehow?

Drones would be very useful for the police. But I can just see how some liberals will oppose this, no matter if it will help with solving crimes and catching and convicting criminals.
I would like one to patrol my property. Hear something funny outside or a security alert is set off, launch the drone to investigate, while I sit safely inside. Come to think of it, a drone with a weapon attached would work even better.
