FACE TO FACE COMMUNICATION
I
n the future, there will be more widespread face to face
communication mediated by technology. Products like Skype and
Face Time accomplish this currently, but it should be use more
regularly in the future.
T
his technology can be very useful in educations for students that
are home school or also for those that are taking summer class
online this could students in touch with the professor with out
wasting valuable time with traveler or delays.
HOLOGRAMS
H
olograms have been use during last presidential election to by
exclusive cable news channels that wanted to get the full effect
of the reporter presence.
I
n the future they will be use in everyday communication
instead of video conferencing to connect people more closely
to others it could be very valuable to business and education.
HOLOGRAM
FUTURE TECHNOLOGY
I
n only a few years touchscreens we have develop a way
to add touch screen in our smartphones and tablets
these changed the way we interact with humans and
machines. In the next few years we’ll see an explosion of
touchscreens invading every part of our lives. We would
add touch screen in to clothes, watches ,tables
restaurants , refrigerator.
TOUCH SCREEN CLOTHES
MORE RESTAURANTS WILL USE TOUCH SCREEN ORDER TABLES
TOUCH SCREEN REFRIGERATOR WITH CALENDAR AND WEATHER UPDATE
MEDIA SYSTEM DEPENDENCY THEORY
T
he media system theory says individuals’ needs, motives, and uses of media
are contingent on outside factors that may not be in the individuals’ control.
T
his theory would explain how the touch screen table at restaurants maybe
adopted by society.
P
eople will be depending on this table to eat at their favorite restaurants.
Restaurants will be depending on this save money on labor. Parents will be
depending on this table to keep there kids entertain while the food is being
prepared.
USES AND GRATIFICATIONS THEORY
T
his approach focuses on why people use particular media rather than
on content.
P
eople find it satisfying to have face to face communication with other .
Because face to face communication is gratifying, holograms may
become more popular with people as the technology advances .
T
here for the use of gratifications theory may explain why holograms
will be an important communication technology in 2022.
UNIVERSAL WIFI
I
n the future entire cites and states maybe connected to the same
internet . This would allow for seamless connection among people
and devices . Instead of being limited to building or work space for
internet , people will be able to connect everywhere.
Critical Mass Theory says that widespread usage creates universal
access, a public good that individuals cannot be prevented from
enjoying even if they have not contributed to it. Thus , the
widespread use of wifi will lead to universal wifi in the future.
