In this slideshow, I explain what television, internet, film and video games will look like in the year 2022. For instance, I tackle such issues as 3-D technology and explain why it will become extinct as a tool for movies, but will be very popular for video games.

1. Technology in 2022
How Television, Internet, Film
and Video Games will evolve in
10 years
By: Troy Hufford

2. The Future of Television
• In 2012, a feud between DirecTV and Viacom
ensued, sparking the beginning of the end for
satellite and cable TV, as we once knew it.
• In 2022, customers can pick and choose individual
media channels without having a “base package”
with a service provider.
• Advantages
• Efficient
• Cheaper for consumers
• Personalized

3. The Future of Television (cont)
• Following the collapse of
Satellite and Cable
• Internet Television is the new
programming standard
• Viewers can “subscribe” to
television channels
• Advantages
• Not paying for programming
that we don’t watch
• Personalized
• Accurate ratings allow producers
to create better niche content

4. Uses and Gratification Theory
• “The choices which people make are motivated by the desire
to satisfy (or ‘gratify’ ) a range of needs. Hence, the uses and
gratifications approach is concerned to identify how people
use the media to gratify their needs.” –Katz, et. al
• This theory fits the aforementioned point I made about
television evolving over the next 10 years
• People seek the media that they’re interested in
• For cable and satellite companies to force base packages upon
people, they violate the principles of this theory.
• Base packages were abandoned because people’s uses and
gratification were better suited to specific channels of acute
interest.

5. The Future of Internet
• The internet becomes the main source of information in
2022.
• News
• Online news programs become popular as premium television viewers
decline because of high costs
• Education
• Online education increases in popularity
• Online high schools (homeschooling) surpasses public schooling
• Communication
• Online video communication continues to develop
• Live-streaming glasses
• Allow viewers to see everything the broadcaster sees in real time

6. The Future of Film
• In 2022, all films will
be produced
electronically
• DVDs are a thing of
the past and are
thought of as
collectibles, much
like VHS tapes were
thought of in 2012

7. The Future of Film (cont)
• Many in 2012 believed 3D was the way of the future, but
those people were quite wrong
• In 2022, we now realize that 3D movies was a fad.
• The reason 3D movies went out of existence is because the
market just wasn’t there
• People couldn’t justify paying an extra $5 for an extra dimension
of content.
• It was uncomfortable for some people (headaches, nausea) and
was a distraction from the movie going experience

8. The Future of Video Games
• Although 3D movies went out of popularity, the video game
industry really took off with 3D technology.
• First person shooters, although popular in 2012, made console
gaming even more popular
• Old titles such as Modern Warfare and Skyrim were redone
with 3D technology, adding an immersive quality to already
popular franchises

9. Roger’s Diffusion of
Innovations
• Stages
• Knowledge
• Persuasion
• Decision
• Implementation
• Confirmation
• The decision to reject an
innovation can be made during
any “stage” of the process
• This is a reason why 3-D could be
rejected even after being
“implemented” into 2012 media
