This video from Monty Metzger represents the collaborative thoughts of many at MOCOM 2020. One of the fascinating features in this video is the timeline that maps mobile communications from its beginning to an extrapolated future in 2020. What is intriguing (or perhaps disconcerting to some) is how fast the future of communications is rushing at us. If you combine some of the thoughts and technologies in this video with Jerry Owyang’s recent report on the The Five Eras of The Social Web, it seems a foregone conclusion that the communication field will undergo a continuing metamorphosis over the next decade.

Anybody looking for a career in a predicable, low-stress industry better check communications off the list. On the other hand, for people who feed off change and are comfortable with the technology issues that will accompany this transformation, the communications industry promises to be a wild, exciting ride filled with innovation, opportunities, and, of course, major challenges.
