Sort of lame list….I think mine is better. 
I think the biggest item missing from this list is open-source, open-source, and open-source. With raging budget deficits across the country educational institutions across the K-20 spectrum are going to be looking hard at open/free alternatives in their upcoming technology adoptions.
I also think that the recession is a nature time for us turn away from capacity building to spending some time developing efficiencies with the technologies we have. I look at the technologies that are available to most educators and would be willing to bet they only tap 25-35% of the capacity of a given device/service/application. You could make huge gains by increasing that efficiency to 45-55% for less than building more capacity.
And even though it develops capacity, I see virtualization really taking off! Their will be growing needs for technology but no money to purchase new hardware. Using VM, institutions will be able to create capacity by tapping unused potential in existing hardware infrastructure.
Again, economic troubles will bring Google Apps up as a viable option.
Educational content providers will figure out a way to provide a more iTunes like way of distributing digital content. This also has the potential to bring down the costs of distribution of instructional materials.
