3. REF LECT ING &
IMAGINEERING
• Over the past 10 years the world
has seen some pretty amazing
innovations in the arena of
communications technology. A
few of these include the
introduction of iPhone (forever
changed the smartphone game)
and nano technology, overall just
smart technology in general.
• Imagineering the next 10 years, I
see nothing but possibilities for
what will be exciting times.
4. “Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the
square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules and they have
no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the
human race forward. And while some may see them as crazy ones, we see genius. Because
the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

6. MEDICINE OF
THE FUTURE
• Mankind is no stranger to
diseases/viruses/deformities
• Medical innovations have long been a
way for us to prolong life and stay
healthy
• Nanotechnology medical
developments over the coming years
will have a wide variety of uses and
could potentially save a great number
of lives
• Will eradicate Cancers, HIV/AIDS,
heart disease, amongst other
diseases.
7. M O O R E ’ S
INNOVAT ION
ADOPT ION RATE
• First to adopt are innovators
• Early adopters will be people
that can most benefit (people
with otherwise
incurable/inoperable disease)
• Early majority will see the
results and gladly follow suit
• The laggards will then
become believers
8. L IVE HOLOGRAPHIC
CONCERTS, AMONGST
OTHER THINGS IN THE
L IVING ROOM
• Our smartphones and
televisions allow us a lot
more content then we can
take in and are pretty
advanced
• Future technology will allow
us to attend a concert right in
our living rooms. Live
concerts will be projected
from phones and television
sets.
9. MEDIA SYSTEM
DEPENDENCY
THEORY
• On an individual level, who
wouldn’t want/love to see their
favorite shows, sports
broadcast, etc… displayed live
in their living rooms?
• Give people a strong sense to
reconsider their values as they
grow more connected with
their shows
• Audience will actively seek out
this media
10. • Will be one of the most sought after products in the
market
• The greatest in distraction technology when it comes to
parents needing a rest from the kids
• Will also be great technology for bringing family and
friends together
11. FOOD PRINT ING
TECHNOLOGY
• Worldwide hunger is an issue that will
be a thing of the past
• The United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization estimates
that nearly 870 million people were
suffering from chronic
undernourishment in 2010-2012.
• That was before the introduction of
food printing in the future.
• This will dramatically reduce the
number of people going without food if
it doesn’t eliminate it altogether.
12. USES AND
GRAT I F ICAT ION
S
• The gratification for using this
technology will be because it will
stop people from going to bed
hungry
• This could potentially end
hunger in areas where it is
almost impossible to grow food
• It will be a socially responsible
thing for wealthy countries to gift
these items to poorer or
underdeveloped nations
13. “The future belongs to those who believe in the
beauty of their dreams.”
