This document discusses emerging technologies and trends that will shape the future, as presented in a lecture by Phillip Allen. It outlines three forces driving change: 1) A shift from a "pull" to a "push" environment where information comes to users proactively. 2) Increased user engagement through more immersive and personalized experiences. 3) Rising mobility through improved devices and ubiquitous connectivity. Examples of future technologies discussed include augmented reality, virtual reality, personalized recommendations, pervasive computing, and mobile learning. The goal is to encourage thinking about how these changes will impact work, learning and daily life.

7. We live in a “pull” environment That is, you visit Web sites and request information, products, and services The future is a “push” environment Push technology – environment in which information flow is two way and businesses and training comes to you with information, services, and product offerings based on your interests and learning profile Force 1: Push not Pull

8. 9-8 Changing Internet Traffic In the next 5 years mobile devices will increase 6-fold Networked content will increases 40-fold # commerce transactions growing 400-fold Trillions of devices communicating IT traffic is more unpredictable, more real-time More two-way, push not pull PullTraditional file and record-oriented payload Petabytes/Day Worldwide PushInteractive, upload-heavy payload

9. Force 2: More Engagement

10. Did I break your concentration? The concept of attention is closely related to other important concepts such as anxiety, and motivation.
