This document provides a glimpse into the future of education, mobile phones, video games, and television from 2002 to 2022. It summarizes that by 2022, education will increasingly utilize online platforms like Khan Academy that allow students to learn at their own pace. Mobile phones will become the primary means of communication as landlines disappear, and will integrate more functions beyond calls. Video games will continue advancing graphically but cloud gaming may fail if infrastructure cannot support it. Television will become common in 3D and potentially 4D formats, and viewers will be able to watch new movies at home shortly after theater releases.

Glimps
2022
into the
2012…
Future
…2002

2. As we move into the Information Age
we have it within our power to avoid
unequal education hardens that
came with the developments of the
mechanization of agriculture and in
the Industrial Revolution. We can
reap the growth that comes from
revolutionary technologies and use
them to eliminate, not to widen, the
disparities that exist (Clinton, 1998).
As stated by John Naughton , we are
living through the midst of a
revolution, and it's very difficult to
see what the outcome will be
(Naughton, 2012)But today I will
attempt to explain where this
revolution will take us in the next 10
years in regards to education, mobile
phones, video games, and Television.

3. 2002
Education The Past Video of the
• In the late 90s, President Bill Clinton was
in the process of making sure every classroom
classroom had connectivity to the
internet. And by the year 2002,
computers were in nearly every class
room in the US. During this time I was in
high school and each teacher had at
least one computer in their classroom,
the library had between 15 to 20
computers and there were classes that
covered MS office products. There were
also computer classes that taught CISCO,
how to repair computers and AutoCad .
• Doing research papers became easier to
do because of the ability to go to the
computer and research the internet for
information. Teachers weren’t very in
favor of doing a lot of research from the
internet as they would limit the amount
of sources allowed from the web. No
longer did you have to search through
encyclopedias or card catalogs.
• And remember the chalkboard. The
following video isn’t about the video
itself but rather the things you saw in
class rooms at the time: blackboard, big
computer monitors, a Roll-in-TV from
the library, and a projector pull down
screen.

4. The Present
Now 2012- Education
Today in school, kids are learning things
generations before had probably never
dreamed of due to communication technology.
No longer do classrooms have chalkboard that
kids with allergies have to deal with. When you
walk into todays school, you see SmartBoards,
which are interactive whiteboards that operates
as part of a system that includes the interactive
whiteboard, a computer, a projector and
whiteboarding software (Smart Board, 2012).
Uses for the Smart Board include teaching,
training, conducting meetings, and delivering
presentations. Very handy tool for todays
teachers. Document viewers are also pretty
popular allowing the teacher to view images
instead of using a projector and transparency
paper. Also laptops are being used now instead
of kids cramping their hands. Some schools
even have I Pads for each student to use in their
classrooms. The way in which teacher teach is
going to continue to change with the help of
Khan Academy.

5. 2022- The Future The Future
In September of 2012 Bangladeshi-
Indian-American educator Salman
Khan launched a computer science
module with his nonprofit educational
organization and a website Khan
Academy. Khan Academy teaching is
the way of the future. Less lecturing,
more interaction. What you think of as
homework you do at school, and
school work you do at home. One
teacher referred to it as flipping the
classroom. Khan Academy is a free
online tutoring site that may have
gotten your kid out of an algebra bind
with its educational how-to videos.
Now Khan Academy is going global.
Backed by Google, Gates, and other
Internet powerhouses, Sal Khan wants
to change education worldwide, and
his approach is already being tested in
some American schools (Khan
Academy: The future of education?,
2012).

6. Diffusion of innovations
Education
When looking at education for the future, Roger’s Diffusion of innovations can help understand how education will change
and be adopted. There are 5 factors that determine an individuals decision as to if a technology will catch on. They are relative
advantage, compatibility, complexity or simplicity, trialability, and observability (Diffusion of innovations, 2012). First using Khan
Academy education system brings about a way in which education has changed. With the statement that homework done at
school and school work done at home show a relative advantage of teaching. The level at which this education can be adopted
because it is done online through watching video, which society is now connected to the internet by the hip with mobile devices
and tablets. It has been proven easy to use as other student that happened to come across Salman Khan’s uploaded YouTube
videos he created for his cousin. Users were able to test this technology without even knowing they were the test subjects. With
60 minutes doing a special on this innovation and new way of education it became visible to other that you could say were in the
“Late Majority” of adaptors.
Currently I believe this innovation is in the period of “Early Adaptors”

7. The Past
Mobile phones 2002
In 2002 cell phone were increasing in popularity.
Not only had the price to use these devices gone
down, but they were now being built with color
displays and was also the year the first camera
phone hit US markets allowing users to snap on the
pictures on the go (Chowdhury, 2012).
At the time there were two primary ways in which
your phone was connected to its network, either
your device was GSM (Global System for Mobile) or it
was CDMA (Code division multiple access). In the
U.S. CDMA was more dominant standard, though
worldwide it was GSM. Cingular now AT&T and T-
Mobile used GSM while Sprint and Nextel used
CDMA. Nokia and Motorola were the primary
phones distributors that were used during this time
(CDMA vs GSM, 2012).

8. The Present
2012- Mobile Phones
The year 2012, cell phones and carriers have
been through many dramatic changes. First all
mobiles phones that ran on an analog network
have been shut down. Between 2002 and 2012
we have seen several new technologies come to
the mobile world. From GSM came GPRS
(General Packet Radio Service) which speed data
speeds from 14.4kbps to 115kbps. Next was
EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution)
which had data speeds 3 times that of GPRS. Next
came UMTS (Universal Mobile
telecommunication System) also referred to as
Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access or
WCDMA, which was the 3G (third generation of
Mobile technology) which reach speeds of 384
kbps. This was followed by HSDPA (High Speed
Downlink Packet Access) which reaches speeds
around 7.2 Mbps and also allows for notebooks
and laptop to be tethered (donnyananda, 2012).
And also a HSUPA which is designed for providing
high uplink speeds (High-Speed Uplink Packet
Access, 2012). Together HSDPA and HSUPA
combine to form HSPA (High Speed Packet Access
) (donnyananda, 2012).
With all these technology changes, the price of
minutes has gone down and some companies
offer unlimited talk and text while you only pay
for your data (AppleInsider Staff, 2012).

9. 2022 mobile phones The Future
By the year 2022 the landline phone would
have been phased out. Phone companies
including AT&T say deregulating land-line
phone service will increase competition and
allow carriers to invest in better technology
rather than expand a dying service (Sylvain,
2012). Global broadband prices have
dropped nearly 75 per cent between 2008
and 2011 (Sethi, 2012). The future mobile
phones are being touted as the ultimate
multifunctional devices. Some experts
predict that the mobiles of the future will
become remote controls for our whole lives,
whereas others forecast that in the future
mobile phones will literally run our lives for
us (Mobile Phones, 2012). Already some
mobile phones combine fast internet
browsing with in-built GPS and Bluetooth
technology to tell you, not only who is
nearby, but provide you with information
about those people as well.
This means that mobile phones should
encourage interpersonal interaction, in both
social and business scenarios (Mobile
Phones, 2012).

10. Media System Dependency Theory
• The way technology is moving especially with media,
we are being forced into having devices that are data
enabled. If landline service ends, data cost will go
down, and more people will have smartphones and
tablets. To have these devices it will be required to
have a data package.
• The more a person depends on the media to meet
needs, the more important media will be in a person’s
life, and therefore the more effects media will have on
a person (Media systems dependency theory, 2012).
Media is no longer just in your home, it’s everywhere
you travel as long as you have a mobile device.

11. The Past
Video Games 2002
Ten years ago, Microsoft was coming
off their first year of their installment
of gaming consoles with the Xbox. This
system was built off of PC technology
allowing gamers to have greater
performance compared to their
competition with the PlayStation 2 and
the Nintendo GameCube. The
introduction of this product setup
what the next ten years of gaming
would go to. In the next ten years we
would see the gaming technology
advance with Xbox releasing the 360
version in 2005 followed by Sony with
PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii both
in 2006 (A History of Video Game
Consoles, 2012).

12. The Present
Video Games 2012
Since 2002 the have been a lot of changes in the
way video games have been played and how
consoles have become an all in one media device
offering a movie player, TV services and
connection to social media. Today’s video game
let you interact with the system. Nintendo
started a trend when they developed the Wii
console which allowed the system to mimic the
action of the user on the screen. Soon after Xbox
and PS3 released their versions similar to the Wii
called the Xbox Connect and the PS Move. No
longer do you have to go to the video store to
rent movies because now these systems allow
you to download movie to your systems hard
drive. Service such as Netflix also allow you to
combine you mail service with your gaming
console to stream movies. These consoles also
offer internet browsing capabilities along with
apps store similar to the ones you have on your
phone. Connect to social media such as Facebook
or Twitter and let your friend know what you’re
playing. Today video gamers are playing with
people from all over the world making this a
great communication tool that bridges one part
of the world to another.

13. Video Games 2022 The Future
There is a chance that one of the ways in
which video games are predicted to go,
will fail. In 2022, I feel there will still be
that competition between Microsoft’s
Xbox and Sony. In the early stages of PS3
and Xbox 360 there was the debate of
BluRay and HD DVDs with Blu-ray winning
the battle. The competition will be a bit
different with Xbox continuing to make
actual gaming systems while PS3. One
side you have the possibility of cloud
gaming which is a type of online gaming
that allows direct and on-demand
streaming of games onto a computer,
similar to video on demand, through the
use of a thin client, in which the actual
game is stored on the operator's or game
company's server and is streamed directly
to computers accessing the server
through the client. This allows access to
games without the need of a console and
largely makes the capability of the user's
computer unimportant (Cloud gaming,
2012).

14. Video Games 2022 cont
On the other hand you have David
Dennis, senior group manager for
Xbox, Microsoft who does not believe
that cloud gaming has enough
infrastructure to change the way
games are played. He made the point
that while there playing they would be
running up the meter on their data
usage, adding huge, incremental costs
on top of their standard broadband bill
(Pullen, 2012)

15. Uses and Gratification Theory
Uses and Gratification Theory is a approach to
understanding why and how people actively seek out
specific media to satisfy specific needs (Uses and
gratifications theory, 2012). People tend to play games
for certain reasons and needs they want to be meet.
Some people play video games to meet their need of
entertainment and excitement, while others play
videogames to meet their social needs people primarily
play games to pass time, avoid doing other things, to
cheer oneself up and just for enjoyment. Males tend to
play to win, while females tend to play for the challenge
(Boerboom, 2009).

16. The Past
Television 2002
In an article dated Dec. 15, 2002, Rahul
Shukla, a Hong Kong investment banker
purchased a 42-inch Fujitsu flat-screen and
spent $7,600 on this television. I myself
bought a television around this same time
paying a little under $300 for a 32 inch Sanyo
Tube television and thought at the time was
getting a great deal. Flat screen TVs were
gaining popularity quickly and companies
were spending a lot of money to
manufacture these devices. Picture quality
was becoming a popular commodity with the
popularity of video games on the rise and
High definition programming. With the
demand for the TV being so high and the
push for lower prices all companies would
not be able to survive what the future would
be headed for (Schuman, 2002).

17. The Present
Television 2012
Today that same Television Mr. Shukla
purchased can be bought for fraction of the
price between $400 and $1000 thus showing
how far technology has moved in the last 10
years and knowing TV have only been around
since the 1900s, less than 100 years old. For
around the same price I paid for my 32inch
Sanyo years before, I was able to buy a flat
screen bigger and with better picture quality
due to the next move in TVs. Not only are
televisions getting bigger reaching sizes up to
around 90 inches for the home, but their also
coming in 3D format. But even these 3D
televisions are dropping in price compared to
when they first hit US market (White, 2012).
The way in which we get our viewing has also
changed. Today you can purchase a television
with built in apps along with access to the
internet to allow viewing through sites such
as Netflix, Hulu, and even listen to music
through Pandora.

18. Television 2022 The Future
The future of the television is going to
be 3D and also 4D. By 2022 3D
television will be a norm in the homes
of individuals with movie theaters
caring 4D televisions along with
seating that moves with the picture
(Davies, 2012). By this time movies will
also be available for home purchase.
What this means is the movie that is
set to hit the big screen this upcoming
Friday can now paid for a viewed at
home for a higher price. Viewer would
be charged much like they are for PPV
boxing matches and would be allowed
to view the program for up to 48 hours
(Nakashima, 2011).

19. Rogers' Diffusion Theory
Rogers' Diffusion Theory can also be used to explain
where and how fast new television technologies will
take off (Diffusion of innovations, 2012). The demand
for smaller and faster technology hasn’t slowed down as
stated earlier a television purchased in 2002 rear $7000
can now be purchased for around $1000 and this is due
to the rate at which technology is moving. The number
of years it’s taking for new major technologies to enter
over 50% of homes is decreasing at an astonishing rate.
So it’s only a matter of time before each home has at
least one 3D ready television and everyone know a
theater that has 4D technology.
