3. Dream Big
• Taking a look back at 10 years ago, it is
simply amazing to see how communication
technology has advanced and changed. It is
really exciting to imagine the possibilities of
where communication technology will be in
10 more years.
• “Innovation distinguishes between a leader
and a follower.” –Steve Jobs, the greatest
innovator of our time.
4. Change in Education
• Education is one of the most
important tools into creating and
enabling innovators and great
thinkers of the future.
• How people are educated will
change in the next 10 years through
communication technology.
• Students of all ages, at all levels of
education will be able to enjoy the
changes in the future
5. Education
• In 10 years there will no longer be
use for paper back
textbooks, students will be taught
through tablets.
• With the youth being so
knowledgeable, navigating through
the latest technology this will be an
easy transition for children in
classrooms.
• It is found that 75% of kids between
the ages of 13-17 have a cell
phone, so it would only make sense
to make something like this the
center of the classroom
6. Education at the Higher Level
• At universities and colleges,
how students are taught will
also see change.
• Everything will be done via
computers/tablets, with little
paper trail
• Video calls with students and
professors will also become
the norm in online classes.
• Students will be able to
actually access online videos
of classroom lectures, rather
than just audio as it is now.
7. The Umbrella Perspective
• Social System
• Organizational
Infrastructure
• Hardware/Software
• Individual User
• Factors that Affect all
Levels
– Enabling
– Limiting
– Motivating
– Inhibiting
8. Video Gaming of the Future
• Gaming systems have come a
long way since the days of the
Atari and I see them only going
bigger and better from where
they are at now.
• In the future biometrics will be
used to control video games
• The emotions and feelings of
the person playing will be able
to be read through
biometrics, making the video
gaming experience more
personal
9. Video Games
• The idea of motion controlled
games will evolve into something
even greater than the item like
the Wii has created.
• You will physically become a
part of the game through sensor
technology.
• This will change how people
view this hobby, which is
sometimes considered for the
lazy.
• New innovations will allow you to
be up and moving in all games
creating quite the virtual
experience
10. Uses & Gratifications Theory
• This theory emerged in the 1970’s by
Katz, Blumler, and Gurevitch.
• Involves the audience actively seeking out
specific media and content to achieve results
or gratifications that satisfy their personal
needs.
• This important for future innovations because
people are always going to seek media that is
gratifying for them personally.
11. Television of the Future
• The future of television will
eventually become 3D.
• You will be able to access 3D
movies, news channels, and
sports channels from the
comfort of your home
12. Television and PC’s
• Soon it will be the norm
for your television and
personal computer to be
combined.
• With just a wireless
keyboard you can sit in
your living room and do
all things you did while
sitting at your desk on
your computer.
13. Diffusion of Innovations Theory
• Diffusion of an innovation
occurs through a five–step
process. This process is a type
of decision-making.
• It occurs through a series of
communication channels over
a period of time among the
members of a similar social
system.
