The 2010 Horizon Report (PDF download) is a collaboration between the New Media Corsortium and the Coalition for Networked Information. Although the report has not yet been formally released, The Chronicle of Higher Ed offered a write-up today from their Wired Campus blog.

This year, the report is indicating that the time to adoption for mobile computing and open content is expected to be a year or less. Further out in the adoption time line are electronic books and simple augmented reality -- perhaps two to three years off. Most exciting, however, are the gesture-based computing and visual data analysis that the Horizon advisory group anticipates in a four to five year timeframe.

This is a must-read for those in the information community.
