The Future of Communication
Technology
Brison Allmon
Comm 303
A Day In The Life
• Mariah woke up one morning with a sore throat. She
took her temperature and saw that she had a fever of
101.2 F. She wondered if she should see the doctor, but
she really didn’t feel like driving to his office in all of the
snow.
• Luckily, she had an app for that. “Doctor on Demand”
allowed her to have a consultation for up to 15 minutes
with a doctor via video chat. She found out that she had
strep throat. The doctor emailed a prescription to her
pharmacy, who then assured her that the medication
would be delivered in a couple of hours.
The Future of Health Care

•mHealth (or mobile health) is
a term used for the practice of
medicine and public health,
supported by mobile devices.

•In the next ten years over 50%
of smartphone users will have
downloaded mobile health apps
•More than 25% of physicians
are using mobile technology in
patient care.
•93% of physicians believe that
mobile health apps can improve
patient health.
Roger’s Diffusion of Innovations
• An innovations is an idea,
behavior, or object that is
perceived as new by its
audience.
• People adopt an innovation if
they feel it will add positively
to their lives.
• A person goes through a
process deciding whether the
innovation is right for them.
• After taking her medicine, Mariah decided to watch T.V.
She went into the living room and commanded the T.V.
to turn on. A thin digital screen appeared on the wall.
Using voice commands, Mariah searched for and
selected a program from thousands of options. This was
nothing like the television experience of her childhood.
The Future of Television

•All televisions will be internet
ready. They will be touch
screens and have apps like a
smartphone or tablet.
•RD3D or retinal display 3D will
be just like looking out a
window. No 3D glasses needed!
The Principle of Relative Constancy
• People spend a constant fraction of their disposable
income on mass media over time.
• People alter spending on mass media categories when
new products/services are introduced.
• The new technology has to offer something more for the
user to give up something else.
• Later that evening Mariah decided she wanted some
chicken noodle soup, but didn’t have any at home. She
started her car and touched the navigation app on the
touch screen. Once the route was set she used the
Pandora app to listen to her favorite music on the way
there.
The Future of In-Car Technology

•Most new cars will be rolling Wi-Fi
hot spots either through tethering or
a data plan.
•The internet will be tailored for incar use by using voice recognition
software to control apps.
•Kids can watch streamed content to
players in the back seats. Adults can
use Pandora or keep up with Twitter.
•A car that is connected can
communicate with other vehicles and
also receive important safety
information.
Uses and Gratifications Theory
• Users actively seek to use different media to fulfill
different needs.
• A medium will be used more when the existing motives
to use the medium leads to more satisfaction.
