1. What Technology will look like in
2024
By: Zeke Pike

3. Education is Everything
• Our future depends on the
education of young people in the
world today
• Education is a way to challenge
the minds of young people to
become creative and great
innovators of the future
• The way people are educated
now will determine the way
communication technology is
enhanced in the next 10 years
• Students of all ages across the
world will be able to enjoy the
growth and change in technology
over the next decade

4. Enhancing Early Education
• Studies have shown the 85% of
kids between the age of 10-16
have either cell phones, tablets or
both
• Within the next 10 years
education will completely be
taught through the use of
technology
• In the next 10 years the use of
textbooks will be gone and
replaced with tablets
• With the knowledge of
technology our younger
generation has, the use of tablets
will be a simple transition

5. Enhancing Higher Level Education
• Students attending Colleges and
Universities will see an even
larger growth in technology
• There will be little to no paper
trail or use of text books
• Assignments and readings will be
done and completed by computer
or tablet
• Online classes will be more
sophisticated with the use of live
video streaming and video calls
• You will be able to ask questions
via Skype/FaceTime instead of
meeting a teacher on campus or
at specific office hours

6. Roger’s Diffusion of Innovations
• This is a theory that seeks to explain how,
why and at what rate new ideas and
technological advances can be spread.
• 5 main factors that influence adoptions of
innovation
– 1. Relative advantage
– 2. Compatibility
– 3. Complexity
– 4. Triability
– 5. Observability
• 5 established adopter categories
– 1. Innovators- The risk takers, the ones
who want to be the first to try it out.
– 2. Early Adopters- The leaders, the ones
who embrace new ideas
– 3. Early Majority- rarely leaders, but
willing to accept new ideas if they work
– 4. Late Majority- Skeptical to change,
but willing to adopt new ideas when
proven they work
– 5. Laggards- The tradional and
conservative people, the statistics will
be needed to bring this group on board.
The diffusion of innovations according to Rogers. With successive
groups of consumers adopting the new technology (shown in blue),
its market share (yellow) will eventually reach the saturation level.

7. Moore’s Innovation Adaption Rate
• This theory further
explored Diffusion of
Innovations
• This theory explains that
early innovations go
through a gradual change
of being accepted by the
five adopter categories
– Innovators
– Early adopters
– Early majority
– Late majority
– Laggards
• Adoption can be slow and
take time it also is often
shown through a diffusion
curve

8. The Future of Television
• As we have seen the
improvement in picture
quality over the last
decade with HD, be
prepared to see the
improvement continue to
grow
• In the future every
television will have 3D
capability
• You will be able to watch
every channel, movie,
and program in 3D

9. T.V’s and PC’s
• In the next 10 years you will
see the growth in the
combination of Televisions
and Computers
• You will be able to sit in the
comfort of your living room
at home and watch
television while you can
accomplish work tasks
• You will see all TV’s and PC’s
combined into one to make
work more enjoyable and
comfortable

10. Uses and Gratification Theory
• The theory that people use media for
their need and gratification to satisfy
their personal needs.
• This theory emerged in 1974 by Katz
and Blumer
• This is important for future
innovations because people always
want media to meet and satisfy their
wants and needs
• There are several needs and
gratifications that are categorized
into five categories
– 1. Cognitive needs
– 2. Affective needs
– 3. Personal Integrative needs
– 4. Social Integrative needs
– 5. Tension free needs

11. The Future of Video Games
• Gaming systems have come a very
long way since the earliest systems
were invented
• In just the past few years we have
seen game systems create motion
censored technology so you are able
to actively play video games rather
than sitting in a chair
• In the future we will see game
systems fully controlled through
biometrics
• Game systems will be able to tap into
the feelings and emotions of the one
who is playing the game
• These new innovations will allow one
to be up and moving around while
playing the game
• The future stereotype of video games
will be transformed into a positive
and aerobic activity to benefit the
gamer

12. Social Learning/Cognitive Theory
• This theory proves that
people learn by watching
other people
• Imitating specific
behaviors allows one to
learn by doing
• Self-regulation is a very
important factor so
others truly believe they
can perform a specific
behavior
• This is the adoption of
new technologies
