It will be interesting to see how design, particularly website design, evolves over the next ten years.
Couple of hopes/requests/wishlist items:
- Get CMS systems to play nicely with custom databases & custom applications
- Figure out way of unifying user login/accounts across multiple website applications
- Clean URLs system for customs sites
- Style Inheritance in CSS
- Death of IE6 and the end of IE6 CSS overrides
Should be an interesting decade for design!
Yay for WordPress 3.0!! Looking forward to getting familiar with it now, even though it has been out for some time.
