Below is some of what I have written for our fourth assignment. It defiantly needs some fleshing out in places, but I think it's an okay start. I'll be working on this more later.
-What might future tech hold?
Games and mobile devices, we may not have cameras in our
heads such as Vannevar bush might have predicted. But we do have them with us constantly in
smaller devices. One device that can
take a picture, record data via journal or document. Not to mention possess the ability to send a
letter without ink or stamp, communicate without a voice and give one access to
a library of information anywhere.
Smartphones, tablet devices and web books. These devices we keep close
to us to remain connected. We have ways
at our fingertips to access our friends, family, ect.
But at what cost do we have this information? There are cars
with Heads up Displays (HUDs) that will connect with your iPod and report back
data. Along with showing you facebook
statuses on your windshield , twitter
updates , and becoming a general distraction. These small devices can be concealed in
classrooms to allow students to distract themselves and others from an
otherwise dull lecture, or they can be used to enhance ones knowledge. Allowing
a student to look up more information on the current subject. Or used in a social setting, “I wonder how
plants work..” However while we’re
looking up information, we’re not paying attention, or communicating with those
around us.
It’s already in the process of what happens when we decide
speaking is too much. Friends sitting in
the same room, text one another, or even other friends. We as humans don’t speak to other humans in public places around us. There’s tons of us, and yet we will ignore
one another on the bus, streets, subway,
sidewalk… Why?
How is it that technology will not find its limit, where we
will go to far. Where we become blind to
our own thoughts, feelings and emotions, then come to rely on others to tell us
how we feel?
Will the future bring us this tech, stream less in our
brains, or will it be a robot that does it for us? (Link to helping robot bbc)
