Communication Technology
Extra Credit Assignment
Communications
Technology has come a long way in the past 20 years. 20 years ago the only form
of communication was primarily through telephone land lines and paper mail. I
also remember pagers as a form of communication. I had a pager in middle school
and I thought that was the coolest thing. Now smart phones are the new thing.
Now we are in
an age where we have cell phones that are basically little computers that we
carry in our pockets. Social media is now the new form of communication because
you have the opportunity to introduce yourself to the world by posting pictures
and creating a profile that includes your interest. Many people use social
media websites as a way of sharing their thought and feelings. This is good, except
I don't recommend sharing anything negative because social sites are open to a
lot of people and employers look at these profiles to see what type of person
you are.
I think
communication technology is going to affect college students tremendously in
the next 20 years. I think there are going to be classes where teachers are
going to be able to teach over a multitude of students via the web.
Communications technology is advancing so much, that students are going to be
able to obtain there degree just by sitting at home. I think the next step in
communication technology is virtual reality. The idea of media such as Skype
will be much more advanced. Students will be able to present presentations
online using these type of sites. Virtual Reality is something that is in the
process of being developed. I think classes will be taught using this. I think
classes will use virtual reality because it gives you the opportunity to be
hands on while not physically going to school.
Communications technology will advance and
it will give student a new way of learning. Hopefully in 20 years I will have
the opportunity to teach students using the new communication technology that
is being developed.
