In addition to the Pavilion exhibits, Jackie Fenn, GartnerGroup research director and vice president, Advanced Technologies, will unveil new research at the Symposium's tech track that discusses these trends as they affect planning issues central to IT management. The analyst's research includes an in-depth look at how the evolution in architecture, devices and networking, interfaces and organizational trends will converge into new eras of computing that will offer both opportunities and challenges as significant as those offered by the emergence of the Internet. One of the most important trends explored at the Emerging Technology Pavilion, and in the newly announced research, is the proliferation of non-PC devices, including electronic books, digital scribes Scribes is a text editor for GNOME that is simple, slim and sleek, and features no tabs, auto-completion and much more.

According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Fenn's research, these technologies will proliferate between now and 2006. "Between now and 2005, the number of devices and access points through which a user interacts with personal or corporate or digital information will at least double from 1998 levels, from an average of four to five devices per person to at least eight to 10 per person," Fenn said. "Since the beginning of computing, the ratio of devices has been growing from shared computing in the mainframe era, to the 1-to-1 scenario of desktop PCs today." Today, it is common for professionals to use a desktop PC, a laptop, a home PC, a personal digital assistant, and a pager. By 2000, professionals will be adding specific task-related devices such as electronic books and digital scribes, and by 2005 a new generation of multifunction mobile devices will emerge. By 2008, wearable thin client computers will become mainstream, according to GartnerGroup research. Although wearable computing is expected to be a "curiosity" for the next three years, GartnerGroup research says that will be an established technique for maintenance, inspection and other mobile industrial applications by 2006. "What is key about the GartnerGroup Emerging Technology Pavilion is that the exhibitors will clearly demonstrate that these hot new areas are here and now," Fenn explained. "These ideas aren't just concepts on a drawing board, but products that offer real benefits that will start hitting the market between now and first quarter 1999.
