The document discusses several predictions for communication technology in 2022 and beyond. It predicts that more personal information will be stored remotely in the cloud, eliminating the need to back up files locally. Smart TVs will become the norm, allowing viewing of movies, news, video calls and games directly on the TV. Education may increasingly incorporate online apprenticeships. Communication technologies will continue advancing rapidly based on theories like Moore's Innovation Adoption Rate, with early adopters driving innovations that the majority later adopt.
What does the world look like in the year 2025? Digital living evangelist, Lindsay Smith, explores the communications and technology journey that has revolutionized the 21st century.

Software is changing the way traditional business operate. People now have smartphones in their pockets - a supercomputer that is 25,000 times more powerful and the minicomputers of the 1960s. This is changing people´s behaviour and how people shop and use services. The organizational structure created in the 20th century cannot survive when new digital solution are being offered.

The organisational structure that companies in the 20th century established was based on the fact that employees needed to do all the work. The coordination cost was high due to the effort and cost of employees, housing etc. Now we have software that can do this for use and the coordination cost drops to close-to-zero. Another thing is that things become free. Consider Flickr. Anybody can sign up and use the service for free. Only a fraction of the users get pro account and pay. How can Flickr make money on that? It turns out that services like this can.

Over two billion people signed up for Facebook. This site the most used site for people when using the Internet. People are not watching TV so much anymore - they using Facebook, Youtube and Netflix and number of popular web sites.
Some people denote their time working for others online. What drives people to write an article on Wikipedia? They don´t get paid. Companies are enlisting people to help with innovations and sites such as Galaxy Zoo ask people to help identifying images. And why do people have to film themselves singing when they cannot sing and post the video on Youtube?
In this lecture we talk about how people are using the web to interact in new ways, and doing stuff.
The Internet grew out of US efforts to build the ARPANET, a network of peer computers built during the cold war. The two major players were military and academia. The network was simple and required no efforts for security or social responsibility. The early Internet community was mainly highly educated and respectable scientist. In the early 1990s the World Wide Web, a hypertext system is introduced, and soon browsers start to appear, leading the commercialization of Net. New businesses emerge and a technology boom known as the dot-com era.
The network, now over 40, is being stretched. Problems such as spam, viruses, antisocial behaviour, and demands for more content are prompting reinvention of the Net and threatening its neutrality. Add to this government efforts to regulate and limit the network.
In this lecture we look at the Internet and the impact of the network. We will also look at the future of the Internet.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical Futures
Final Project by Brian Lewis for COMM TECH 303-50 INTRO TO COMM TECH
1. The future of Communication Technology.
What will Communication Technology look like in 2022?
By Brian Lewis
http://www.slideshare.net/bklewis55/final-project-by-brian-lewis-for-comm-tech
2. Computers (Electric) have come a long way since their invention. During the
1980’s, computers went from Terminal access to a Mainframe, to Personal
Computer (PC’s). Since then, computers have continued to advance at a rapid
rate. In the future, more people will be able to access their personal information
in the “Cloud”. With Apple I Cloud, you can access all of your personal
information from any apple device such as the new Apple Mac Pro Air or your
Apple I Phone. All of your information will be stored on servers. You will no
longer have to worry about backing up all of your information, all the time. How
many times in the past has someone lost all the files because of a Personal
Computers Crashing?
3. Social Learning Theory/Social
Cognitive Theory
The Social Learning Theory is defined as how people learn from the behaviors
of others. TV and the internet are power tools for learning by observation. For
example, if a home owner has a slow leak in the bathroom sink, he can call a
plumber or fix the faucet himself by watching a plumber on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YneOjcOnrw4
4. Gratification Theory and TV's of the Future
The Gratification Theory was developed by Katz in the 1970’s. This theory is
defined by people who want and need Communication Technology to fulfill their
personal need for pleasure. This is important information for companies that
build TV’s such as Sony, Samsung and LG. A more specific example of this
would be customers who purchase a TV with a 42 inch or larger screen.
Clearly a family TV that is 60 inches wide is used for family pleasure and
gratification. In the future TV’s will have everything you need for entertainment.
TV’s of the future will become Smart TV’s. Smart TV’s will be used for watching
movies (in 3-D), news, Video Phone, Video Arcade, and as computer. By the
year 2022 more than likely the majority of America will own a Smart TV.
5. Roger’s Diffusion of Innovation Theory was developed in the 1960’s by Everett Rogers.
There are five steps to this model, this is an example of how it works.
1. Knowledge- You just found out that Apple released the new IOS7 phone.
2. Persuasion- How do you feel about this new product? Good or Bad.
3. Accept or Reject the innovation. Will you go buy it? Are you motivated enough to buy?
4. Implementation – You go and buy the Apple IOS7 Cell Phone.
5. Confirmation- The IOS7 is met or exceed you expectations.
In this example, if Apple had met the customer’s expectations than the they are more likely to
have a loyal customer for years to come. The balancing act for corporations is sell a new
product, without over selling it. If product was hyped up but did not exceed your expectations
than they lost a loyal customer.
Roger’s Diffusion of Innovations
6. Apple new iOS 7 Google Nexus 4
Communication Technology Companies such as Apple and Google will
compete against each other to create the most innovative communication
technology ever. More than likely only a small segment of the over all
population will rush to buy the newest phones from Apple and Google.
The few that do will help to move the technology forward, so that majority
will use this technology. This is an example of Critical Mass Theory. This
communication technology will continue to improve well beyond 2022.
1980’s Cell Phones
7. Moore’s Innovation Adoption Rate
Early Adopters Innovators
1st Group of people to buy new product
Early Majority
2nd Group of people to buy new product
Late Majority
3rd Group of people to buy new product
Laggards
Final Group of people to buy
new product
When the PC came out in the early 1980’s Moore Innovation model was used. Very few
people actually bought a new PC computer. It is important to note that without the Earl
Adopters Innovators and Early Majority companies such as IBM would not have made
enough money to cover their operating expense and would have sell new products at a
loss. The new 3-D TV currently being sold now follows the Moore’s Innovation Rate
Theory. 3-D TV’s would fall into the Early Majority . 3-D TV are new but are not the
8. Media System Dependency Theory
Is the relationship between the user and the Media that they are using. For
example the “Cable Company”. Most of us use Cable TV but our needs or
priorities, are different from the cable company. Six dimensions make up Media
Systems Dependency Theory.
1. Social understanding, (learning about your environment)
2. Self Understanding, (know yourself)
3. Action Orientation, (understanding specific behaviors)
4. Interaction Orientation, (understanding behaviors of others)
5. Solitary Play, (providing entertainment to yourself)
6. Social Play (Media use for social interaction, like Facebook)
9. The Theory of the Long TailPopularity
HEAD
Long Tail
Products
The Long Tail Theory explains why rating of popular TV
shows and movies would be considered a failure in years
past. This is because people had less choices of media in
years past. Today, with cable TV and the internet, people
have a variety of programs which limits the amount of
viewers because of the variety of Media. This also applies
to traditional TV news networks such as ABC, CBS and
NBC. Twenty years ago they were dominating the news.
However today they still dominate the overall rating, but they
are much lower due to CNN and Foxnews.
10. Education in the Future will help drive
Communication Technology
“As more and more of the work in a society occurs online, it becomes possible
to engage more and more learners in "teleapprenticeships." These are formal
educational frameworks that engage people in learning through their remote
participation in ongoing work settings.” (James Levin University of Illinois 2002).
11. The Umbrella Perspective
The Umbrella Perspective on Communication Technology stems from Everett M
Rogers and Sandra J Ball Rokeach, writings on communication technology.
Rogers defined communication technology as “The hardware equipment,
organizational structures and social values by which individuals collect, process
and exchange information with other individuals(Grant and Meadows 2008).”
Ball Rokeach, suggests that “communication media can be understood by
analyzing dependency relations within and across levels of analysis, including
the individual, organizational and system levels.” She also identifies “three
systems for analysis: the media system, the political system and the economic
system (Grant and Meadows 2008).” The hardware is the physical equipment
related to the use of the technology. Software is defined as the information
manipulated by the computer as well as the instructions used by the computer to
manipulate the data (Grant and Meadows 2008).
