The ability for a user to be on a site and have the web server cause an action to occur on the site, via ‘push technology‘, is soon to be realized at the HTML 5 leve. Although this type of interaction has always been available; through Flash, Java and Javascript. It’s finally being brought-up to the HTML level as noted in W3C documentation.

And think you’re a psychic by predicting technology from Asia will appear in Canada five years later.
Canada will be going through a mobile transition and with some new companies coming in, it will offer the public a new wide-range of services and options that will help give consumers the option of getting great new products at agreeable prices.
