You are the 'Person of the Year'

I think that it speaks volumes that Time has picked 'You' as the Person of the Year. Content creation becomes easier by the day. Using, gcast, you can create a podcast from your cell phone and it will be on your webpage in minutes. You can upload pictures to flickr and the world can access your photo albums. You can place a video clip onto youtube and then email a link to all the people you know. The best part is that there are even more steps that can be taken out. Programs like Camtasia have realized that they need to export video content to iPod format and even Microsoft has given a free add on to Frontpage that allows webmasters to create their own RSS feeds. If this all still seems too much, don't worry. Things get easier from here.

What would you like technology to be able to do?
