Comm. 303 final assignment

1. The future
Final Project - COMM 303 - Reggie Bonnafon

2. 2016
It’s the year 2016, technology is constantly
changing and improving.. there is no telling what
the world has in store for us. However here are
some examples of the type of technology we can
expect.

3. currently
Right now we have so much access to technology its crazy. It’s
in our homes, school and work places, even in our cars. Some
people probably do not think there can be much move advance
in technology. We can almost do anything on our smart
phones. We can change the TV channel, and turn our security
system on. We have 3d televisions, Wifi in our cars and
everything is working through bluetooth.. But yet there is still
much more room to grow..

4. Critical mass theory
The critical mass theory deals with how when a lot of people have something, it makes
everyone want it. For example right now people would love to have a watch phone, but its
only available on the Galaxy Note and iPhone, and most people do not like the size. When
it become available to all smart phones, everyone is going to get it, and those who do not
are going to want it because of everyone having it.
This will not be limit
to one brand or type
Anyone with a smart
phone can use it..

5. Watch Phone
Many people are familiar with the watches that are out for
phones currently. However in the year 2025 all smart
phones will come paired with a watch. This watch is going
to go above and beyond. Anything you can do on your
phone you will be able to do on the watch as well. There
will even be a virtual keyboard. There will be different sizes
and styles to fit everyone's taste. You can even customize
it.

6. XBOX KINECT
Most are similar with the Xbox Kinect, it allows you to
control a game without a controller, it’s a hands free
controller to say the least. It recognizes body movement
along with voice recogniztion. It also has a face detection
where it can activate your account for you. Xbox Kinect
will detect your face and pull up your profile with all of
your information and games on there.

7. Home Kinect
The next thing that will take place will be a spin
off from the Xbox Kinect, it will be called Home
Kinect. It work off of an Xbox or similar device,
however you will be able to do much more then
you are currently able to on the xbox.

8. Features of Home Kinect
-When you walk in the house it will detect your face and tell you what you need to do for the day
and the time you need to do it by. Examples:
clean the upstairs bathroom
Put clothes in dryers
Math homework
It will also work as a security system, cutting the need for one of those out.
It will be able to work on phones, TVs and in your car
It will be able to help you make every day choices, such as what to where by knowing the
weather or which way you should take to work depending on how bad the traffic is.
It will keep all of your information private and only available to you and your family as added on
there.
It can help you think of recipes based on what is in your kitchen
You can ask if questions much like you can “Siri” on iPhones.

9. Media Dependency
The home connect is going to relate to Media Dependency
because people are so dependent on the media. The
media is going to hype the home Kinect up and make it
seem like the greatest thing out there. Which it really
would be because of all the technology it uses. Also
people are going to become dependent on this because of
all the capabilities in which it does offer.

10. Lap top learning in school
Currently today we are bringing technology into
the class room more and more. Some have even
been using laptops and tablet devices in the
class room, and eBooks instead of textbooks.

11. iLearn
In 2025 you wont need notebooks, books and pencils. It will all be done on a laptop
All textbooks will be available on a laptop.
They will only need one laptop, which would also be able to fold up as a tablet as well, they
can type or use a stylus to write as well.
Schools will provide the students with a laptop they are responsible for, the can buy
insurance coverage incase anything was to happen.
They will have built in Wi-Fi, This would allow for the students to work on their school work
anywhere.
Virtual classrooms will also be present in university's.

12. Social Learning
iLearn relates to social learning because of the advances in
technology it is going to bring.
This is going to allow for web chats, and virtual classrooms to take
place anywhere and at anytime.
You can speak with teachers and classmates out of the classroom
on your laptop.
You will always have access to the classroom information.

13. In conclusion
With watch phones, Home Kinect and iLearn
technology will be just as advanced as it can get.
It will make the world more accessible and
everything will be at your fingertips.
