I asked 4 entrepreneurs to provide their tech predictions for 2008. Chris Klaus, founder and former CTO of ISS is the 4th and final one that I will post here. ISS sold to IBM back in '06 for $1.3 billion and now Chris is the CEO of Kaneva.
Chris, thanks for taking the time.

Just as web browsers and web sites were in 1994, 3D browsers and virtual worlds are now manifesting as a viable platform for explosive growth. 
Along with the convergence of high speed Internet, graphics cards, personal avatars and a deep desire for people to connect face-to-face on the Internet, virtual worlds will provide the nexus of bringing all those elements together.
I couldn't agree more with this prediction. I opened my law practice as a completely virtual law office almost two years ago. The virtual law office technology is a secure web application, software as a service (SaaS). We're getting ready to introduce the technology to the legal profession this spring(www.vlotech.com).
The technology is there and as I've found in my virtual law practice, the public is more than ready to conduct more of their legal and business transactions from a completely virtual environment.
