My prediction is more about attitudes, rather than technology. I think we're due for a backlash against the idea that you can be "at work" all the time with ipads, smartphones, etc. I think of the kids today who see their parents glued to their devices 24/7, scared to death not to return a work-related email or text no matter when it comes in (2AM!) and saying to themselves, "not for me!" Especially when they realize it didn't do anything to protect them from being laid off when the economy tanked anyway.
I just had an email from a coworker today saying that she was going to be out tomorrow for a surgical procedure, but that she'd be "reachable by cell".
Um, what?
She then followed it up with another email saying that, no, actually, she was NOT going to be reachable. She had put that on there out of habit.
