- 2. Communication Technologies The three forms of human communication Cell Phones Computers Cars
- 3. The theories that influenced my choice of technologies: Media System Dependency Theory Social Learning Theory/Social Cognitive Theory Social Information Processing
- 5. Social Cognitive Theory The social cognitive theory explains how people acquire and maintain certain behavioral patterns, while also providing the basis for intervention strategies. Evaluating behavioral change depends on the factors environment, people and behavior. People had to adapt to the change of computers, phones and cars. We started with pagers, then came cell phones. We started with big bulky computers, now we have flat screen computers, wireless keyboards. We started with cars that had cassette players and now we have cars with built in Siri, gps, and Bluetooth where you can communicate with people while driving talking through your speaker system of your car. You adapt with what is new and you behavior changes along with the technology change.
- 6. Social Learning Theory Bandura’s Social Learning Theory posits that people learn from one another, via observation, imitation, and modeling. The theory has often been called a bridge between behaviorist and cognitive learning theories because it encompasses attention, memory, and motivation. You quickly learn about the technology as it changes over the years. Phones, cars, and computers will always have humans attention. These are daily necessities. You observe how these things work, you imitate how to use them by being taught and observing others on how they use these technologies. Your behavior changes as these forms of technologies change. You become aware of how these technologies work then adapt to the daily, monthly, or yearly changes of these technologies. Cars, phones, and computers continue to change because of technology so you learn from the people that create these inventions and adapt to what is being created.
- 7. Social Information Process Social information processing theory has been posited as a description of how mental operations affect behavioral responding in social situations. In contrast, social information processing theory is more broadly concerned with all of the mental operations that are deployed to generate a behavioral response during one’s own social interaction. The mental operations that are considered include, but go well beyond, the social understanding that is the topic of moral domain inquiry. These operations include selective attention to social cues, attribution of intent, generation of goals, accessing of behavioral scripts from memory, decision making, and behavioral enactment. You must process the new information within these new technologies that are being invented to understand how things are changing. Cars, phones, and computers are changing daily so you must learn how to socially adapt with these interactions and understand the new changes.
- 8. The Future For Cell Phones I remember back many years ago when we didn’t have cell phones to communicate. We had house phones to talk to family members or friends or we had to communicate with people in person. I got my first cell phone in 2004 and it was a Nokia. The only thing I could do on the phone was call people, send text messages, or play snake. Everyone that had a Nokia phone remembers playing snake. I can only imagine what cell phones will be like in the future with how much they have already changed in recent years. I remember having cell phones that could only text and call. The phones were so small and bulky. Some phones didn’t even have cameras on them.
- 9. The Future For Cell Phones I see cell phones increasing the technology of the camera and the ability to charge your phone. You have to charge your phone with a cable plugged into the wall. I see in the future that you will be able to charge your phone with some sort of wireless charger. The camera on the phones continues to improve and it could only get better. Here is what you can imagine, you pull your phone out of your pocket and unfold it like a napkin into a tablet. You press your finger on the screen, and it unlocks. You switch to the camera app, and a spider-like array of lenses shoot simultaneously to capture one giant photo.
- 10. The Future Computers My first computer was one of the biggest, most bulky computers that I can remember. It was an IBM. It took forever to load up, we had dial up internet, and it was slower than anything you could ever imagine. Now computers load quick with the access of wireless internet and the speed that is fast as lightning. Everything is becoming wireless. We now have flat screen computers, wireless keyboards, touch screen computers , laptops, and Ipads.
- 11. The Future Computers Some of the ways that computing is changing now are that it is moving into the fabrics in our clothing and it’s moving into our very bodies. We are now in the process of refining prosthetics that not only help people reach for something but in reaching, those prosthetics now send a message back to the brain. The first prosthetics were able quite miraculously to take a message from the brain and use it to control the world. But imagine how astounding it is if that prosthetic also tells the brain that it has grasped something. That really changes the way we think of what it means to be human, if our very brains are impacted by the movement of a piece of metal at the edge of our hands.
- 13. The Future Cars Do you remember when your car had a cassette player? Or a CD player? Now you can use a auxiliary cord, Bluetooth, or Siri to play music. Now currently new cars have a built in GPS system that will guide you wherever you need to go and talk to you while you are driving. Cars will also allow you to call people through your car system, no wires needed. You can use your voice to tell the system in your car what you want to do with calling, gps or music. Cars can now park themselves, tell you when you are becoming too close to another car, prevent you from hitting another car, tell you when someone is calling, and even read text messages to you while you are driving. Newly invented cars even have a wireless charger for your phones where you can sit your phone in a certain spot and it will charge your phone for you. I like how things are wireless so that you do not have to hold your phone and call people, or try to type text messages while driving because you can talk to the system in your car and it will do it for you instead of you taking your hands off of the wheel or take your attention off of the road and cause more distraction.
- 14. The Future Cars In current cars that we have now, we have to put our own gas in it. Cars that are being invented today can be electronically charged and do not require gas. I foresee cars pretty much being able to drive the car for you with being told where you are going to communicating to the system in your car. It is the most spectacular revolution. Tomorrow, cars will be able to do without their drivers. “This development will be in stages: we start without feet and then do without hands and eventually without eyes,” says Pascal Brier. The next step? 100% autonomy. Engineers are working to replace human eyes with a multitude of cameras, sensors and lasers that will reproduce the environment in 3D and allow the vehicle to make navigation decisions alone.
