The Future of Communication

TechnologyWhat technology will look like in 2022 A.D.

By: Terrence Ross

Technology will never be the same beyond this journey you are about to take.

• Who would ever think in our society today that communication technology many years ago was not advanced at all compared to what we have and know today. In our society today we have advanced communication technology that allows us to connect and share with others faster from around the world.

Uses and Gratifications Theory- People use media for their

needs and gratification.

• Finding out relevant events going on in our society

• finding models in behavior

• connecting with family and friends

• escaping problems and relaxation

•Video Gaming- Involves human interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device such as a TV screen or a computer.

• People play video games for entertainment and enjoyment. It’s a time to escape the world and relax in peace.

• So just like the Xbox kinect imagine video gaming in 2022 A.D where video games become hands on where you can feel like you’re physically inside the game.

Social Learning and Cognitive Theory- A theory that focuses on how people learn by modeling others.

• Say a new generation of the IPhone comes out and you see all your friends and famous people with it but you still have the old one. If you see that the new IPhone has way more cool features than yours than you tend to want the new IPhone even though it’s the same invention.

• IPhones allow you to do many different things but imagine that you could unlock your front door, open your garage, unlock your car door with just the sound or push of a button with the new 2022 cellphone.

The Theory of the long trail-

* This Theory begins the realization that there are not any huge hit movies, television shows and album's like there used to be.

* New communication technologies are giving users access to new and more content.

* our culture and economic is shifting away from the focus on the old media medium.

• You have new inventions such as ITunes, sound cloud and other music apps that allows you to download and listen to music from the old school to todays music.

• Netflix, Hulu and other movie sites allow people to watch movies from many years ago and today.

The future of communication technology in 2022 A.D

• In conclusion, there are many communication technologies with different origins and histories. Some of these communications technologies have been swept away and replaced with more newer advanced technologies. I have compared three communication technologies and three theories to show how technology would be in 2022 A.D.
