The document describes several predicted technologies for the future iPhone and home in 2028, and discusses relevant communication theories for each. The iPhone is predicted to have holographic features and not require touching a screen. Smart glasses may allow live social media feeds and televisions could receive FaceTime calls. A talking toilet could accept voice commands and a robot maid named Stephanie could converse and complete tasks. Theories around media dependency, social information processing, and uses and gratifications are cited as relevant to how people may interact with and become reliant on these futuristic technologies.

2. IPHONE OF THE FUTURE..2028
THE IPHONE IN THE FUTURE WILL HAVE HOLAGRAPHIC FEATURES AND YOU WILL NOT NEED A SCREEN TO TOUCH.
EVERYTHING WILL ESSENTIALLY BE AT THE PALM OF YOUR HANDS.

3. MEDIA SYSTEM DEPENDENCY THEORY
• THIS THEORY RELATES WITH MY FIRST IDEA BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY SO DEPENDENT ON THEIR
PHONES. IF PEOPLE HAVE EVERYTHING AT THEIR FINGERTIPS, THEY WILL FIEND FOR THE IPHONE. PEOPLE
WOULD NOT WANT TO GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT IT.

4. SMART GLASSES
• SMART GLASSES ARE GLASSES IN THE FUTURE THAT WILL BE ABLE TO POST LIVE FEEDS FROM ANY SOCIAL MEDIA.

5. MEDIA SYSTEM DEPENDENCY THEORY
• THIS THEORY RELATES TO THE SMART GLASSES BECAUSE THIS EFFECTS SOCIETY. IT WILL ALLOW PEOPLE
TO START SEEING THINGS THROUGH LIVE FEEDS WITHOUT BEING THERE. IT WILL ALSO BE EASIER
ACCESS FOR PEOPLE SO THEY WON’T HAVE TO HOLD A PHONE.

6. FACETIME TELEVISION
• THE TELEVISION OF THE FUTURE WILL HAVE FACETIME. SOMEONE CAN BE WATCHING TELEVISION AND OR PLAYING THE GAME AND
RECEIVE A FACETIME, BUT THEIR PHONE IS IN THE ROOM. SO, THE TELEVISION WILL RECEIVE THE CALL AND YOU CAN ANSWER IT
FROM THERE. THE FACETIME WILL BE IN THE RIGHT OR LEFT QUARTER OF THE SCREEN TO COMMUNICATE TO THE CALLER.

7. USES AND GRATIFICATIONS THEORY
• THIS RELATES TO FACETIME TELEVISION BECAUSE THIS IS THE FUTURE OF WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT. THE
PEOPLE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE MORE DYNAMIC WAYS TO CONTACT OTHERS THROUGH
DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES.

8. TALKING TOILET
• THIS IS A TOILET YOU CAN COMMUNICATE WITH. YOU CAN TELL THE TOILET WHICH TYPE OF FLUSH YOU
WANT.(REGULAR OR STRONG) YOU CAN ALSO TELL THE TOILET TO WARM THE SEAT.

9. SOCIAL INFORMATION PROCESSING
• THIS THEORY RELATES TO THE TALKING TOILET BECAUSE IT IS INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION. A
PERSON CAN TALK TO THE TOILET AND THE TOILET WILL TALK BACK AND THEN COMPLETE THE COMMAND.
THIS IS A FUTURISTIC TOILET FOR SURE.

10. STEPHANIE (ROBOT MAID)
• THIS IS A ROBOTIC MAID THAT WILL CONVERSE BACK AND COMPLETE ALL COMMANDS OF THAT PERSON’S
NEEDS.

11. SOCIAL INFORMATION PROCESSING
• THIS THEORY RELATES TO STEPHANIE THE ROBOT MAID BECAUSE IT IS DEALING WITH INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION. THE ROBOT WILL CONVERSE BACK WITH PEOPLE AND DO THE NEEDE CHORES AROUND
THAT THE PERSON ASSIGNS TO STEPHANIE.
