Technology in the Future

Going off of what I read in the PEW Internet report it's an easy assumption that technology is growing rapidly and taking over the lifestyles of many people all over the world in a variety of cultures and ages. It's hard to say exactly which form of technology will be used the most because each and everyday technology becomes better, faster and stronger. Gaming is huge. Many people look forward to the day where gaming reaches virtual reality quality in your own home. Internet use is probably at it's peak and the only improvement might be making it faster. Cell phone use would be my pick for the form of technology used most in the future. It's wireless, makes calls, surfs the web. A cell phone can do almost anything these days and its right there in front of you all the time and it can fit in your pocket. Cell phones can only get better from here. The drawback behind it is that many people will lose contact with the outside world by being consumed by all the technological advancements. I myself have a hard time staying off the computer even when there is basically nothing to do.

  1. I also think cell phones will ever be able to get taken over by something new. They are just too useful. The only thing that will happen is that there will be new innovations with cell phones allowing them to be able to do even more than what they are capable of doing now.

  2. I like how you started your post about technology as a whole! I'm excited to see what future technology is going to bring. Cell phones are amazing now, but just think of what they might come up with in the near future-- I'm sure they will think of something!

  3. I agree and think that gaming on computers and cell phones will both be very popular in the future. Cell phones are very convienient, but I agree that it can hinder your ability to communicate with people outside of using your cell phone for such.
