2. 2016
 It’s the year 2016,.. Over the past couple of
years technology has grown and keeps
growing.We never know what they will come
up with next, but we are about to find out..

3. currently
 Right now we have so much access to
technology its crazy. It’s in our homes, school
and work places, even in our cars. Some
people probably do not think there can be
much move advance in technology….

4. Kinect & Other Devices
Most are similar with the Xbox Kinect, it allows
you to control a game without a controller, it’s a
hands free controller to say the least. It
recognizes body movement. It also has a face
detection where it can activate your account for
you. Xbox Kinect will detect your face and pull
up your profile with all of your information and
games on there.

5. Home Kinect
 The next thing that will take place will be a
spin off from the Xbox Kinect, it will be called
Home Kinect.

6. Features of Home Kinect
 -When you walk in the house it will detect your
face (each person in the home) and tell you what
you need to do, clean laundry or school work,
ect.
 It will also second as a security system – if it does
not recognize the face a code will need to be put
in or the police will come.
 It will be able to work on phones,TVs and in your
car
 It will keep all of your information private and
only available to you.

7. Media Dependency
 The home connect is going to relate to Media
Dependency because people are so
dependent on the media.The media is going
to hype the home Kinect up and make it seem
like the greatest thing out there.Which it
really would be because of all the technology
it uses.

8. Lap top learning in school
 Currently today we are bringing technology
into the class room more and more. Some
have even been using lap tops in the class
room, and eBooks instead of text books.

9. iLearn
 In 2025 you wont need notebooks, books and
pencils. It will all be done on a laptop
 All textbooks will be available on a laptop.
 Schools will provide the students with a laptop
they are responsible for, the can buy insurance
coverage incase anything was to happen.
 They will have built inWi-Fi,This would allow for
the students to work on their school work
anywhere.
 Virtual classrooms will also be present in
university's.

10. Social Learning
 iLearn relates to social learning because of
the advances in technology it is going to
bring.
 This is going to allow for web chats, and
virtual classrooms to take place anywhere.
 You can speak with teachers and classmates
out of the classroom on your laptop.

11. The Real Smart Car
 In 2016 we will have cars that read your text
out loud and allow you to respond by
speaking to the car. It will save all of your
music and all you will have to say is play
“Insert song”, when using the GPS the car will
help guide you, put turn signal on and things
like that. It will slow you down if speeding and
if you are driving reckless it can lock the car
up as well.This will be for the purpose of
security.

12. Uses and gratifications
theory
 Uses and gratifications theory is an
approach to understanding why and how
people actively seek out specific media to
satisfy specific needs.
 This relates to the smart car because people
are going to seek to use this for safety.
 We buy things and use them to achieve
certain results. (gratification)

13. In conclusion
 With Smart Cars, Home Kinect and iLearn
technology will be just as advance as it can
get.
 It will make the world more accessible and
everything will be at your fingertips.
