2. All the way up to the 70‟s there was no form
of social networking.
Then in the year 1971 E-mail was created by
Ray Tomlinson. Nothing then happened until
the 00‟s.
In 2004 Facebook was created by Mark
Zuckerburg. T witter was created in the year
2006.

5. Augmented reality is technology that combines virtual
reality with the real world. The current world of
augmented reality deals with live video imagery which
is digitally enhanced with computer generated
graphics. For example, a user might wear translucent
goggles or view the screen of a camera equipped
mobile device where they can see the real world as
well as strategically placed computer generated
images. Ronald Azuma's definition of augmented
reality is widely referenced in research literature. He
defines an augmented reality application as one that
(1) combines the real world with the virtual world, (2)
is interactive and in real-time and (3) is registered in
3 dimensions.

6. Applications
Applications for augmented reality are broad.
The military uses augmented reality to assist
men and women making repairs in the field.
The gaming industry is moving games
outside like the old days…equipped with
wearable head gear of course. And then there
is everything in between.

7. Navigation
Navigation applications are possibly the most
natural fit of augmented reality with our everyday
lives. Enhanced GPS systems are using
augmented reality to make it easier to get from
point A to point B .Wikitude drive for the Android
operating system which is currently in beta
brings the GPS into the 21st century. Using the
phone's camera in combination with the GPS, the
users see the selected route over the live view of
what is in front of the car.

8. Sightseeing
There are a number of applications for augmented reality in the
sightseeing and tourism industries. The ability to augment a live view of
displays in a museum with facts and figures is a natural use of the
technology. Total Immersion, a global leader in augmented reality,
develops systems designed to enhance the experience of the museum
attendee. Their interactive kiosk solution allows guests to interact with
the display in 3D. They choose a model card such as a human heart and
hold it under the camera. On screen, a perfect 3D representation of the
heart appears on screen allowing the guest to interact as if it's a real
heart. Out in the real world, sightseeing has been enhanced using
augmented reality. Using a smartphone equipped with a camera, tourists
can walk through historic sites and see facts and figures presented as an
overlay on their live screen. These applications use GPS and image
recognition technology to look up data from an online database. In
addition to information about a historic site, applications exists that
look back in history and show how the location looked 10, 50 or even
100 years ago.

9. Military
The Heads-Up Display (HUD) is the typical example of
augmented reality when it comes to military
applications of the technology. A transparent display
is positioned directly in the fighter pilots view. Data
typically displayed to the pilot includes altitude,
airspeed and the horizon line in addition to other
critical data. The term "heads-up" comes from the
fact that the pilot doesn't have to look down at the
aircraft's instrumentation to get the data they need.
The Head-Mounted Display (HMD) is used by ground
troops. Critical data such as enemy location can be
presented to the soldier within their line of sight. This
technology is also used for simulations for training
purposes.

10. Medical
There have been really interesting advances in medical
application of augmented reality. Medical students use the
technology to practice surgery in a controlled environment.
Visualizations aid in explaining complex medical conditions to
patients. Augmented reality can reduce the risk of an operation
by giving the surgeon improved sensory perception. This
technology can be combined with MRI or X-ray systems and
bring everything into a single view for the surgeon.
Neurosurgery is at the forefront when it comes to surgical
applications of augmented reality. The ability to image the brain
in 3D on top of the patient's actual anatomy is very powerful for
the surgeon. Since the brain is somewhat fixed compared to
other parts of the body, the registration of exact coordinates can
be achieved. Concern still exists surrounding the movement of
tissue during surgery. This can affect the exact positioning
required for augmented reality to work.

11. Since its inception in the early 1930‟s and
commercial availability in the late 1930‟s the
evolution of the television is interesting.
Although it seems like a world away, it has
only been in recent years that the technology
has changed drastically. Here is a time line to
demonstrate the look, feel and uses of the TV
over the decades.
11
12. 1930s
After its formal introduction at the 1939 World’s Fair, the first real commercial televisions
became widely available. However, many networks like NBC and CBS had already been
broadcasting for several years. Radio networks were quickly adjusting their studios to
accommodate the new medium.
Sets were large pieces of equipment with about 12 inch screens. They cost about £400 to
£500 and the average household income was about $1300 a year.
Programming was sparse. There was no “must see TV,” networks broadcasted specials
like the 1932 presidential election, boxing matches and news reports.
One of the most recognized images from this early era includes the 1936 Olympics from
Berlin in which Hitler announced the opening of the ceremonies.
12
13. 1940s
Much of the hype surrounding televisions in the 1940‟s was swept under the rug
with the onset of WWII. Although in the earlier portion of the decade, the United
States wasn‟t involved with the war, production of televisions stopped so the U.S.
could put their efforts toward developing radar technology.
Even though the production of televisions stopped, the innovation persisted and
color was introduced at the early part of the decade. This is also when the
television commercial was invented.
During the war, the television was used as a small propaganda machine.
Encouraging people to buy bonds and support the effort.
The post-war economy was strong and the late 40‟s saw a boom in television
production. Two types of models surface the tabletop and console.
People like Milton Berle, Ed Sullivan and Howdy Doody become some of TV‟s first
stars.
13
14. 1950s
Often the 1950‟s have been seen as the hay day of the economical boom in the
United States and the Golden Age of television.
More people are buying consumer electronics, by the end of 1951 and there are
more than 8,000,000 TVs in the United States.
I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, Father Knows Best and the Lone Ranger are some
of the most watched programs. The TV Guide is the #1 magazine in the country.
Colour becomes the wave of the future and the Remote Control is invented.
Although most people had neither.
The “tube” becomes an advertiser‟s dream come true. Products are marketed
directly to the consumer by sponsorships. The “soap opera” is thus named for the
cleaning products that sponsored the daytime dramas targeted directly at women.
The family dinner is revolutionized with the introduction of the TV dinner. Family
meals will never be the same.
By the end of the decade, a 21-inch black and white set was about $200 and the
average 21-inch color set was almost $500.
14
15. 1960s
Often the 60‟s are seen as the end of an era. An age of innocence seen in the
1950s died and would never be seen again in the United States. After the
assination of President Kennedy, families gathered around to watch the news
depicting a changing social climate and growing hostility toward an oppressive
government. Americans begin to get more news from the television than the
newspaper.
The United States became obsessed with space travel. Everything sold had a space
age edge, especially televisions. Everyone gathered to watch shuttle launches and
moon landings. Televisions became more portable and affordable.
It is estimated 75 million people watched the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show.
The Vietnam War is the first conflict to be televised.
Doctors legally advertised cigarettes.
By the end of the decade there were approximately 78 million television sets in
homes across the United States; 200 million around the world.
15
16. 1970s
Sesame Street debuts to children across the country. The show is still on
the air after almost 40 years.
Nighttimes broadcasts broke the traditional molds. Couples were now
sleeping in the same beds, actresses could show their belly buttons and
“All in the Family” and “MASH” are two of the most popular evening
programs.
Although it wasn‟t the first home video game, Pong became the most
popular.
The average salary is 7,500 a year and the average price for a TV was
between £400 and £700 .
The first direct to broadcast satellite television was launched in 1972.
1978 was the last year large Black and White consoles were
manufactured
16
17.
1980s
The 80‟s saw little innovation with the television specifically; however,
there became a growing number of television accessories like the VCR
and home game consoles like Nintendo.
Although cable had been around since the 50‟s, cable television saw a
significant boom during the 80‟s.
Sitcoms were more popular than ever. The 80‟s spawned programs like
“Rosanne,” “The Cosby Show” and “Married with Children” (which is the
longest running sitcom in television history.)
The VCR took the United States by storm. Although introduced in the
late 70‟s, the VCR didn‟t become a staple in the American home until the
mid 1980s. Now, people could watch movies in the comfort of their own
home and record and watch their favorite programs on their own
timetable.
17
18. 1990s
The 90‟s saw big changes in technology all together. One can arguably say the
1990s was an age of technological change, thanks largely to the Internet. The
personal computer became affordable enough for average people to own, the
Internet was available through dial-up ISPs like Prodigy and AOL, and information
was seemingly at our fingertips.
Television programming became more risqué, pushing the FCC‟s buttons and
spawned some of the most loved shows of all time including “Friends,” “Seinfeld,”
“Twin Peaks” and “The Simpsons.”
Johnny Carson left the Tonight Show in 1993 after more than 30 years on the air.
Cable television programming saw a large boom at the end of the decade with
shows like “The Sopranos” and “Sex in the City.” Broadcast on HBO, these series
were exempt from standard FCC regulations and frequently depicted scenes with
graphic violence, gratuitous sex and foul language. Audiences and critics loved it.
Various TV technologies like Plasma and LCD are in experimental stages. Standard
CRT televisions still lead the market. However, televisions now include additional
features like picture in picture, sleep timers and parental controls
18
19.
2000s
DVD players take over the home theater experience. Much like the VCR, DVD players were introduced a decade earlier, but
took some time to gain momentum. At the beginning of the decade, DVD players were in approximately seven percent of
homes; in less than 10 years, more than 80 percent of homes had a DVD player.
Thin is in. Advances in LCD and Plasma technology enable television manufacturers to produce a better picture, larger
screen sizes and save space.
The “home theater” experience was in the forefront of manufacture‟s minds providing bigger and better quality to the
consumer.
TiVo revolutionized the way we watch television. TiVo had the ability to pause live broadcasts and record several programs
at once, even while the television was on another channel. TiVo can schedule recordings based on time, channel, title or
celebrity. No longer were people tethered to their couches living by the network‟s times. They were free to watch what they
wanted when they wanted.
Reality shows take over the airwaves and TV becomes interactive. With the introduction of “American Idol” home viewing
audiences became part of the competition. Encouraging the public to “vote” for their favorite performer, the programs
enabled audiences to take an active part in the show‟s outcome. Now, a 30-second ad during “American Idol” costs about
$750,000.
Television goes all digital. In 2009, all analog televisions will go black. Networks will only be producing a digital signal.
Less than 10 years after the DVD player‟s introduction, the second wave of video players were introduced touting better
quality and longer run times. HD DVD and Blu-ray enter a battle for high definition supremacy, which is reminiscent of the
VCR and Betamax war 30 years prior.
TV goes online. With the introduction of high speed Internet, video streaming and digital recording enter the scene. Many
are posting their favorite programs and commercials online without the permission of the broadcasters. This has led to
many networks making their programs available online.
Seventy-five years ago, the television was introduced with skepticism and awe. No one truly believed it would change the
way we view the world. Now, people are more attached to their televisions than ever including programming on computers
and cell phones; and manufactures, broadcasters and producers are continually finding new ways to bring big
entertainment to the small screen.

20. I asked my Gran „Did you have phones when you
were little?‟.
◦ She answered me with everyone in the neighbourhood
had a telephone box to share.
I then asked her „Have you noticed the changes in
technology?‟
She answered me with yes there has been a lot of
technology changes in my lifetime one time ago we had
to share near enough everything.
I asked my mum the same questions she told me that her
family were poor but they had a house phone. My dad
answered the same but his family had more money than
my mums family. They also replied yes to the other
question.
