This document discusses the future of communication technologies like smartphones, televisions, and video games. It predicts that by 2023 smartphones will be wearable accessories that use 3D graphics and biometrics. Televisions are expected to project onto any flat surface and appear out of thin air. Video games will incorporate full body movement and holograms, allowing players to fully immerse themselves. Theories around how technologies develop and how people adopt innovations will influence continued changes.

2. • As we all can see, history and technology has transformed
society to be what it is today.With new innovations and
advances, technology has taken over the world and made
communication easier through a number of devices.This
slideshow is not only going to talk about these devices, but
will also answer these questions about the 2023’s future of
communication technology:
• What will our phone’s be like?
• What’s next for our televisions?
• How will video games be different?

3. • It use to be you would have to write letters to those who didn’t live near you in order to
communicate. And a lot of the time it would take along time for that message to get
delivered.Then in 1870’s Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone which changed the
world forever. Now people had an easier way of talking to each other and transmitting their
messages. It made it convenient for people to be able to inform others faster than mail
traveling or going to tell them in person. As time went on cell phones were invented which
involved not having to stay in one place while talking to someone.
• Today, Smart phones have taken over the globe.They come with so many features that you
hardly see anyone with a wall built in telephone any more. Although at the time period wall
built in phones were something new and wild to have, new technologies have taken over
because of their advances and all that they include.That goes along with just regular cell
phones as well. Smart phones just include so much more, and so they’ve started
disappearing as well.

4. • Looking towards what the landscape for 2023
AD will be as far as communication through phone, I can see
a ton of possibilities.
• Smartphones will take on a whole new meaning in 2023. Not only will the
design look different but the features that comes with it will as well.
• I can see the smartphone transforming into a part of our everyday wear. It’s
already glued to our pocket, why not be an accessory like a watch or glasses.
• Something I read about on CNN. com was how smartphones could be using 3D
graphics and Biometrics for it’s new features in the next ten years. So instead
of seeing just the casual web page pulled up on our browsers, we’ll have special
glasses or contacts we can wear to actually jump in to the environment or
atmosphere we are trying to search for on the web.

5. • This theory is going to effect all of the technologies
I’ve selected because the uses and gratifications
theory explains why someone selects a certain
technology that satisfies them.
• Without this theory it would be hard to determine
what innovators should do next with technology.This
theory is what makes them understand consumers
and see what they personally do with their devices.
• This theory is very important when it comes to the
future of these technologies just because it’s what
designers can research to make their products better
over time.

6. • Growing up, I got to experience some of the most radical and truly
classic video games. From Sega Genesis to the Game Boy. I got to
play it all. Although it was fun, and like nothing I had never seen
before, boy has it changed and quite for the better I must say.With
new innovations and technology the video game world has
changed and expanded so much.

7. • I believe in the next ten years that video games a will take off in the consumer
industry. People will be able to get more physically involved and interact more with
their teammates or opponents.
• An example will be like the Kinnect orWii that already tries to develop the player. It
will have personal information about the player making it that more realistic. Sort of
having the background and also connecting that with the physical features of the
player. Having their facial expressions and movements. It’ll make that much more fun,
just as if your reality was in the game and you were actually in the game.
• In in article I read about the future of video gaming they
stated that, "Gamers will be able to create objects
holographically and sculpt things with our hands,
opening up fascinating new one-to-one interactions,”
said Hocking.

8. • The umbrella perspective is very important and will effect
all three of the technologies that I selected because it’s
about the process in which each development is organized
to make products better within a company.
• It’s a theory is about the understanding on how hardware
equipment, organizational structures, and social values
that individuals collect are processed and exchanged to
other people.
• Some of the factors of the umbrella perspective is
enabling, limiting, motivating, and inhibiting.

9. • Television has had a huge impact on society and how we communicate with
each other.Without television many situations and problems would never have
been crossed. I feel like television changed the world in so many ways and gave
people new opinions on how things work in our society.
• From newscasts to sitcoms and movies, television has brought so many new
influences in peoples lives. People do things and are influenced in their decision
making because of what they’ve seen on television.
• Television was used as a propaganda machine in the 1940s, then in the 1060s
people were able to receive more news on their television then in their
newspaper or radio, and as the 80s and 90s came around people were able to
watch their favorite shows that radicalized people’s opinions on society.Their
were couples sleeping in the same bed, women were looking very seductive
and revealing. It gave people new opinions on how the world around them was.
Television has continued to prove how influential it is and I can’t wait to see
what new innovations it has next.

10. • What I think the landscape of television technology in 2023 will be a whole bunch
of different possibilities.See you already have so many new things that the
television today now features that it’s hard to say what else can you add. Right
now what’s trending is the 3d television and smartTV. Which are both very
important technology improved features being that in today’s society those are
things that’s most devices include.
• What I see is a television that can appear out of nowhere. Like in the earlier slides
when we were talking about smartphones and how they will be in everyday
accessories, well that’ll be the same for televisions.You can have them on your
watch or or even wear glasses that can project a screen on to them to watch your
favorite television shows. It’ll have great graphics and the interaction experience
that all new technologies are trying to include in their features.

11. In an article by Scott Puopolo, he wrote about how in the future
he thinks that you’ll be able to watch television anywhere on
any type of flat surface. He also included this picture of what it
might appear to look like.

12. • This theory has effected and influenced all three of the
technologies that I’ve selected because it discusses the
breakdown of decision making.
• It has a five step process that includes knowledge,
persuasion, decision, implementation, and
confirmation. Below decision making is the reject or
accept part as well.
• This is a way that the members of a social system will
go through in order to make proper decisions on
technology and improvements.

13. As you can see the future has many possibilities with the
devices and technology that we already have. And the
best part about it is the best has yet to come. I can say
this knowing it’s a fact from the evidence of seeing what
our past technology was and seeing how it has grown
into what the world’s society relies on today.
Communication technology isn’t just a device or
something useful, it’s a revolution that has taken over
the world.Without it, it’s hard to say what our world
would look like today.
