As as a part of our curriculum we had to design a working interface that shows the different developments towards technology in the modern world. As an individual we had to state the different social impacts, pros and cons towards the use of these devices. As an example of a technology I have listed the different advantages and disadvantages with the use of mobile phones, TV & radios, PDA's. GPS etc. They all had similar advantages and disadvantages, however, most of the disadvantages led to one thing which was the inappropriate use of the devices or the obstacles that might disrupt the use of it.
The discussion mainly led to the future developments of each device. I generally explained that most of them would obviously become more sleek in looks and have better aesthetics to cope with possible future needs, however, would be quite costly for users to be able to upgrade from the current technology to what is available in the future.
Below is a presentation I have made that explains the different technologies that are related to personal and public communications. Enjoy
Do you think the day will come when all services/applications will be available on one hand-sized device? Will greedy companies allow it to happen?
ReplyDeleteThrough recent studies these are currently being developed by niche companies, however, I believe that this will soon be globalized and would definitely be used, developed and produced by the multinational/greedy companies.
