For me, the next four years will be the most interesting. As a half-gen of grad students, VP's, 30-somethings start maturing in the workplaces, the "digital divide" for Web 2.0 will be between those who browse and review (BabyBoomers) and those that engage (everyone else younger).
It's like I tell hospitals and Healthcare admin grad students: right now babyboomer doctors are retro-fitting their activity to include blogs, etc., with or without hospital consent. What happens when the med school students of today become doctors in just a few short years? New media won't just be inescapable, it will be inevitable. That's just one small industry example, but it will be interesting to watch the maturing of 2.0's audiences.
