Looking ahead in a big-picture, macro sort of way, I see several things
being universally true for video production:

Frame sizes, frame rates (at least on acquisition side), a sheer volume
of data will continue to increase. A lot.

Computing power required to process that video data for editing,
effects, 3D, physics simulation and more will continue to increase. A lot.

Storage subsystems and the infrastructure to move that data to where it
needs to go will need to increase dramatically as well.

The point being, all this fascination with mobility, thin clients, low
power and small is fine as long as there is an acknowledgement that at
the other end of that is the need for very big, very serious horsepower
--- and just as importantly ---big data pipes.

Hey, maybe SGI will come back! ;-)

Or, more likely, the "market" will speak, and decide that crappy YouTube videos on their designer pocket devices will be the only media people want to consume. :-(
