"Current and Future Trends of Media and In formation"

Entry #5

Activities and learnings

         In February 12, 2018 we some discussion about "Current and Future Trends of Media and In formation" it talks about what are the advance technology that are existing nowadays. The quote  said "ICT will continue to advance, empower, and every aspect of life." This quote serves as a mean that Information and Communication Technology is continually developing and improving every individuals life. Furthermore the discussion goes to the topic of some emerging technologies and trends namely, Haptics Technology. Contextual Awareness, Voice and Tone Recognition, Intelligent Routines to Devices, Eye Tracking Technologies, and lastly Internet Glasses. Emerging technologies and Trends nowadays, have the big impact in role in our life right now, without this emerging technologies, then not what we are now, maybe we are still in an old fashion style of living and nothings improves or changes. Haptics Technology is a feedback technology or also known as kinesthetic communication that reproduces the feeling of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or movements to the user. in addition, Haptic technology has made it conceivable to explore how the human feeling of touch functions by permitting the formation of precisely controlled haptic virtual items. Another emerging technology is Contextual Awareness, it is a property of cell phones that is characterized integrally to area awareness. While area may decide how certain procedures around a contributing gadget work, setting might be connected all the more adapt-ably with portable users, particularly with users of advanced smartphones. Moreover, contextual awareness is a technology which knows your interest and quickly give it. Another thing is Voice and Tone Recognition, this a type of technology that is powered by "AI" (Artificial Intelligence) which is amazingly recognize a voice and tone and converts it to texts. The next emerging technology is Intelligent Routine device, this device is also powered by "AI" technology, that helps and gives you direction , like for instance, "GPS" (Global Positioning System). Another emerging technology is Eye tracking technology, is a sensor device that empowers a gadget to know precisely where your eyes are engaged. It decides your quality, consideration, center, laziness, awareness or other mental states. And lastly the Internet Glasses, this is an emerging technology that can display images directly to a persons retina, this is a futuristic device that can be use in convenient way rather than using large and heavy devices.

                    

             After  the discussion of emerging technologies, we gathered up and make a group for an activity. Each group are assigned to make a prototype of a futuristic devices. Each of the groups make their devices creatively, after an hour of making and discussing, every group must have a representative to share to the class about the prototype they made. Every group has different ideas and creativity when making their own futuristic devices, after the task was ended, we have given a time for a small break, and after that we all gathered up at the computers laboratory to discuss about a new topic. The topic is all about "Different resources of Media and Information" namely, People Media, Text, Visual, Audio, Motion, Manipulation/Interactive, Multimedia, but before we discuss that topics our Instructor first introduce or discuss about the "Careers of the people before"and "the evolution of passing of information across all people". After discussing all of that we started to discuss about "People Media", but unfortunately, we don't have so much time to finish all the topics so we ended to the topic of "people media".
