surprising. When you think of the way it exists and where it is going I can imagine the possibilities the in

Media System Dependency theory

• The theory states that the more dependent and individual is on the media for his or her needs fulfilled, the more important the media will be to that person.• The media will have more

influence and power over the individual.

Media System Dependency theory

• Media System Dependency theory is theory is a which attempts to explore and describe the role of media in societies by studying dependency relations.• The degree of dependence is directly proportional to • Individuals• Social stability• Active audiences.

Television in the Future• Netflix will know exactly what you want to watch, even

before you do. You won’t have to spend all that time browsing through endless lists of shows on your television.

• Where users will no longer have to choose what they want to watch from a grid of shows and movies. Instead, the recommendation engine will be so finely tuned that it will show users “one or two suggestions that perfectly fit what they want to watch now.

• There will not be any commercials on television. That means that the proliferation of internet TV may be the final nail in the traditional commercial’s coffin.

• By the year 2022 everyone will own a smart TV. Right now not everybody has a smart TV . All the manufacturers are trying to make the best ones in the future.

Uses and Gratifications theory• The theory suggest that media audiences play an active

role in interpreting and integrating media into their own lives. It is an approach to understanding why and how people actively seek out specific media to satisfy specific needs. The four activities audiences are assumed to participate in:

• Diversion: Escape from everyday problems, an emotional release.

• Personal Relationships: Substitution of media for companionship.

• Personal Identity or Individual Psychology: self understanding.

• Surveillance: using media to find out what is around us.

• In 2022 people can message, call, chat, tweet, check their Facebook and e-mail while they are doing their sport activities.

The Umbrella Perspective on Communication Technology

• The Umbrella Perspective on Communication Technology; The hardware equipment, organizational structures and social values by which individuals collect, process and exchange information with other individuals.

• Software and hardware: Software is information manipulated by the computer as well as the instructions used by the computer to manipulate the data. The hardware is the physical equipment related to the use of the technology.

• Organizational infrastructure: This is the group of organizations involved in the production and distribution of the technology.

• Enabling factors “are those that make an application possible (Grant and Meadows 2008).” An example of this is “the fact that the coaxial cable used to deliver traditional cable television can carry dozens of channels.” This factor reaches to the hardware level of the technology (Grant and Meadows 2008).

•Limiting factors are the direct opposite of the enabling factors in that they are “those factors that create barriers to the adoption or impacts of a technology.” An example of this is the coaxial mentioned above can only carry about 100 channels. This could make it difficult for an upstart television station to get up and running (Grant and Meadows 2008).

•Motivating factors are ones that provide a reason for the adoption of a technology. They basically give individuals, organizations and social systems a reason to take advantage of a technology (Grant and Meadows 2008).

• Inhibiting factors are the direct opposite of motivating factors. They provide a reason for a new technology to not be adopted by a group or organizations. One of the biggest inhibiting factors present today is the cost to the individual user (Grant and Meadows 2008).

• Education is important because it is a knowledge gain. • Education is the most important tools that helps us to build

opinions and have points of view on things in life. • The way people are educate now will change in the next 8

years through communication technology.• Students at all levels in their education will enjoy the

change and have flexible life in the future

Education at different levels in the future

• From online classes to tablets, for each student technology will power the classroom. • This growth in technology will

create greater access to education around the world. Classroom resources will be available to virtually anyone at little to no cost.• In the future all things will be

done with computers and tablets.• In schools, the way students will

be taught will be change.
