The History Reflection (NEW: 300 words)
Reflect on the process of transforming history into a visual document like an infographic or comic book. Specifically, discuss the nature of the research you did, the kinds of sources you found, identify the historic periods you chose, and why you chose to organize it in this manner.VII. The Profile Reflection (NEW: 300 words) Let’s go back to your interview. Think about how you set it up, how you organized the questions, how you conducted the interview, how you handled follow-up questions, and how you assembled those questions into the profile. In 300 words, write a profile of yourself and the writing process undertaken for this assignment. Write it in the third person, as if you were writing about another person. IX. EIP5: Documentary (OLD) You can’t include the actual documentary, of course, but do write a 100-word summary of your documentary and then include either the link to the website where you posted . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5lNkpGeMH4&t=5s X. Documentary Reflection (NEW: 500 words) Reflect on the process of creating the documentary and the script. Specifically, discuss how you wrote the script by identifying the key moments in it and what you were hoping to accomplish with those moments. Questions to consider: What did you hope to accomplish by using Foer and Taplin where you did? How did you use the infographic and the profile? And finally, how did your project change from the script to the final film. Infographic vs. Comic Book In my opinion I think that comic are not taken as seriously as infographics even though I think they make of a better way to attract people and would make people care about what they are talking about more and it would have even younger people interested in the information that they are learning about because it would be what some kids read now. But I think people do not take it seriously because they think it is something for a child they think it is like a cartoon but they take infographics more seriously I never understand why because the infographics are just boring comics which could have been avoided if people took comics more seriously. I think people only take infographics more serious because if you want to inform people about something you would probably use a infographic and not a comic because in the eyes of a lot of people comic books are childish and they would rather read something else but I think it would be a great idea if people started using comic books to inform people about things happening in our world instead give a boring paper that will probably throw away as soon as they get home or when they get out the building. My Vision of 2069 Nowadays, technology drives lives of people. Modern individualscannot imagine their life without such devices as computers, tablets, and smartphones. Technology has gained popularity inthe market very quick, and many people cannot imagine their beingwithout it today. To understand how and why technology has become so popular, it is necessary to comprehendhow it wasdeveloped.The Internet became a new commodity in the 1990s, and with its popularity, TV lost its position significantly. Thus, over the past sixty years, the television environment has experienced a steady series of problems. Despite this fact, TV managed to survive. In the article “The Future Face of Television,” the author states that,“There have been casualties, but the industry has adapted well to changing consumer behavior, not just TV viewing habits but a range of totally new behaviors brought on by the impact of mobile, tablets, social media and the proliferation of user-generated content” (Duncan and Krommendam). Reliable viewing figures in combination with high-quality programs suggest that TV is expecting a successful future; nonetheless, it is difficult to predict exactly what the future will bring in the coming years.In addition to TV that will greatly change its format, the same adjustmentswill be made with other means of technologies and devices. Suchalterations will bring both advantages and disadvantages to people and society in general. Thus, the human beingsshould remember that the future is happening now, and it is necessary to transform the life today in order to receive the maximum benefits from technology. My Vision of 2069 When I think about technology in 2069, I frequently rememberthescience fiction films. I am interested whether the future will be exactly the same as depicted in these movies. I think that mobile technology will occupy a dominant position in the information and communication world. Mobile devices will be smaller and more powerful. The further development of the battery will allow mobiles to work for several weeks (“Viewing the Future of Television”). Various surfaces at home, office, and cars will charge mobile phones. There will be new developments in the Internet face-to-face communication that will provide highly efficient remote education and communication. However, I believe that the greatest changes will be with television. In order to imagine how TV will look like in 2069, it is necessary to know and understand its current state. Nowadays, people watch more and more videos on various devices, hence resulting in the fact that the perception of TV is altering. In recent years, modern society has coexisted with the transformation of media processes (Velasquez et al. 584). According to somestudies, people belonging to different age groups watch traditional television less in comparison with the past (Mykhaylyuk). The human beingswho prefer watching traditional television are aging. In turn, millennials usually define television as something that they can watch on any device – a tablet, smartphone, laptop, or PC(Mykhaylyuk). In such a way, the media industry is transforming and progressing greatly. Moreover, not only the TV industry is changing. Yuriy Mykhaylyuk states that, “now, if we dive deeper in the modern media industry, we can notice that it is changing significantly again: digitalization of papers, evolvement of streaming media, explosion of mass content creation, on-demand access to various content, etc.” Therefore, changes occur in every media sphere, and it is a natural process. Besides, recent tendencies demonstrate that television is gradually uniting with social networks. Different social channels are partnering with leading representatives of the media industry in order to host the video content on their platforms (Mykhaylyuk). Thus, Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms show news and even invests inthe creation of the unique live video content, while Google launches its stream of channels (Mykhaylyuk). The manufacturers of traditional content, telecom operators, and cable networks try to rethink their solution proposals and current business models to receive maximum benefit from modern technologies. The deployment of broadband Internet access together with various connected devices and related software solutions made it possible to deliver the high-quality video content to people (Mykhaylyuk). Hence, there is no need to follow the broadcast schedule.Mobile world is considered one more tendency thathas a great influence on the media industry. In accordance with comScore, the usage time of digital multimedia data driven by mobile applications has increased by 111% since 2013 (Mykhaylyuk). A number of mobile video views surpassed desktop computers. Ithas already resulted in the increase in the quantity of content designed for mobile devices and popularity of short videos. In order not to lose its position, the TV industry should be oriented towards these trends. In 2069, TV will be more personalized. Itwill have a profile of person’s preferences and will offer programs corresponding to the interests. However, for personalization to have a necessary impact, it should take into account several video data streams from various providers (Thibeault). People will not be forced to switch from one content provider to another, and the whole content will be part of a single experience (Thibeault). Usually, the users do not care about different technologies of consumption and delivery. Peoplewant to watch the best content, and there should be a universal search to control the flow of content.Thus, TV ofthe future should focus on auser. The content was and will certainly remain the major part of the media industry. Those TV services that provide the most original content will be successful. For instance, approximately 85% of programs that viewers watch on Netflix are not made by Netflix (Mykhaylyuk). Thecompany is part of a growing group that is called “super-aggregators” (Mykhaylyuk). Besides, programming will be classified based on such things as trends and mood. For instance, real-time ratings will demonstrate a user what is popular among other viewers, and friends will have an opportunity to make suggestions. TV will be portable and will travel with auser everywhere due to the technology of cloud computing. Today, many phones have a cloud technology. For example, every iPhone has iCloud. In the future, televisions will give users an opportunity to appear “inside” the program. With the help of signal processing to create views without cameras, TV will allow people to change the perspective of the camera during playback of the video. It actually takes users to the scene and provides realistic 3D viewing, thus breaking the barrier between anobject and viewer. Interactive games will be merged with TV, hence allowing people to take a direct part in augmented reality, for example, in live sports events. A user will have an opportunity to swing along with his/her favorite slugger during a baseball game. The connection of TV with the Internet will enablepeople to have an impact on events in real time. Therefore, personification of TV and interactive content will be the major tendencies in the future. The Cyborg Life With the change of television in the future, its role in people’s lives, as well as the impact on viewers will also change. TV forms the perception of people regarding a surrounding world, and it will have even a great impact on the development of the youth and ability to form new relations. In the future, there is a threat to have cyber-babies who spend the majority of their time in front of the screens. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, doctors do not recommendshowing screens to children younger than 18 months (Aiken). Thus, there should be no animated Disney movies on the iPad, apps with funny cartoons, or TV sinceall these have an impact on children’s development and perception. In the future, the situation can become even worse, and people can become real cyborgs due to the rapid development of technology, which poses a great danger to the normal development of humans. The behavior of children will change, and there will be the escalation of problems,including the delay in the development offine motor skills, concentration of attention, socialization, speech, and agility. Besides, there will beincreased anti-social behavior, aggressiveness,fatigue, and obesity. In such a way, television can have highly negative impact on young children. In addition to children, technology also has an impact on teenagers and adults. In the future, people can experience such a phenomenon as cyber selection. These days, everyone knows what Tinder is. Many people use this dating app to find a couple. The app asserts to have generated more than 9 billion matches, and it is even more than the whole world population (Aiken). Suchfigures suggest that some people use Tinder very actively. The statistics isimpressive –26 million matches per day, 1.4 billion hits a day, and 196 countries (Aiken).The frequent usage of Tinder can be described as addictive from a behavioral point of view. The situation can become even worse in the future. People are currently moving to technology-driven relations. Suchrelations will be ephemeral and will last only as long as a swipe. Personal encounters between people will be kept to a minimum. Thus, people will move from natural to cyber selection. Obviously, there will be many negative impacts of technology on people, but still, positive effects also exist. As noted above, new developments in the Internet face-to-face communication will provide highly efficient remote education. Thus, children all over the world will have the access to effective education through the Internet. Moreover, doing business will be also easier sinceit will be possible to lead business from the most remote part of the world. Even if a buyer and seller are at different parts of the planet, their transactions can betotally electronically in a matter of minutes. More services and products will be available to people. Although the app to search for love relationships will have a highly adverse impact on people, the situation will be totally different with job search apps. In the future, the job will be easier to find. I think people will work remotely from home, and this is also an advantage of the development of technology. It is necessary to direct technology in the needed direction in order to receive many advantages in the future. The Techno-Determinist Consequence The technology of the future will have a great impact on society, and I believe that this impact will be more positive. One of the main effects will be on data and privacy. The Internet of Things will make people rethink the meaning of confidentiality. Billions of devices and sensors will be connected to the Internet. Every gadgetwill collect information about the impact on the environment. Every city and even home will have intelligent sensors that willmonitor infrastructure safety as well asreduce energy consumption. However, with this purpose, these sensors will need to collect much data, and it will result in the major disadvantage – the breach of confidentiality. The analysisof large amounts of data with the application of artificial intelligence to improve medical diagnostics, for instance, will have considerable advantages but still have certain implications for confidentiality. If people want to take full advantage of the Internet of Things, it is necessary to use reliable systems of data protection,such as various meansof control, cybersecurity, and encryption. Confidentiality is understood in relation to personal actions and thoughts. However, due to the fact that people today trust most of their personal lives to the devices, and this tendency will only increase in the future, theiractions or thoughts cannot be so personal. The devices and sites of such companies as Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon have already collapsed privacy (Foer 3). The Internet has become critical to human lives and countries’ economies (Taplin 4). In the future, the various devices will be digital extensions of people, and the related dependence will deepen with the development of artificial intelligence and interactions with the machines. As a result, the concepts of confidentiality should evolve as well in order to encompass the interaction of people with machines. In the future, confidentiality should exist not only in relation to one person or between a specific set of people but also as a main part of the relationship between people and devices that they use. As forthe impact of TV in the future, I believe that it will be very positive. The greatest impact will be on education. Even today, TVis perceived as a great tool and source for learning. Many success stories of applyingTV for education in numerousstates have refuted the belief that television is mainly based on entertainment and hostile to thinking. Nonetheless, television adapts and can apply various approaches when used in educational situations (Bhowmik and Naveed). Nowadays, the medium is applied for formal and non-formal education. For the support of formal education, TV serves as a supportive and auxiliary instrument. Television can be supplemented by a schedule and school program. It takes a form of the school broadcast when it is systematically organized. In turn, in non-formal education, TV currently plays a more specific role (Bhowmik and Naveed). When it is applied as part of a multimedia communication instrument, television can even teach the subject. Suchtendencies will persist and increase in the future. As mentioned above, TV will be portable due to the technology of cloud computing. With the help of this approach, children all over the world will receive the access to education. The future is with access, cooperation, and learning anywhere, both globally and locally (Britland). Learning and teaching will be social. In the future, schools will have traditional students and online learnerswho live across the state or in the remote part of the world. With the advent of massive open online courses, things are starting to move in this direction today. As for me, the cloud is considered the future of technology in education.Technology can serve as a great barrier to learning and teaching. Thus, the cloud will be of great importance in eliminating this barrier (Britland). Schools will only need one significant thing to prepare for the future, namelya reliable and fast connection to the Internet. The learning institutionsdo not need to install local file storage, servers, or software. Infrastructure has paramount importance to technology in education in the future. It does not matter what technology will dominate in education – a computer, TV, iPad, and so on. The only thing that matters is infrastructure. The tutorswill use the cloud to install, collect, and evaluate students’ work on the Internet. In turn, the latter will have the quick access to comments and grades through a smartphone, computer, or TV. Moreover, it is not the future sincemany schools all over the world are already doing this. All devices will need access to the cloud, and all students will have their own (Britland). Due to mobile and cloud devices, technologies will be integrated into all parts of the school. In addition to classrooms,gyms, and games fields will change as well. Students, teachers, support staff, and schools will be united. The world will be a classroom with the cloud. E-learning will transform the process of learning and teaching(Britland). Teachers will be able to teach from anywhere, while students will study anywhere. Moreover, the cloud will stimulate independent learning among students. They will be responsible for learning. Teachers will post resources online, and students will use them. Suchresources can be interactive images, videos, audio podcasts, or documents. The learnerscan access them via a tablet, smartphone, or computer. Instead of receiving information from teachers, students will more learn independently. Shared documents and apps in the cloud will allow themto have more social lessons(Britland). Students can be in the same building or different country. Suchare extremely useful skills for students, and obviously, these collaboration instruments will be very useful for teachers as well. It is necessary to remember that when schools introduce new services and technologies, they should be evaluated in order to know what improvements are needed. Moreover, it is crucialto train the school staff. Every person will fail without self-confident and well-trained staff who can understand how technology can benefit and support learning and teaching(Britland).Itis not the future; this is already present sincemany schools have already accepted the introduction of new technologies. It is time for all schools around the world to adopt the cloudtechnology and successfully implement it in the future. Conclusion The future is happening now, and people should transform their life today to receive the maximum benefits from technology. In the recent past, television, mobile phones, and the Internet have changed the life of people, namely the communication process and the spread of information. The Internet has introduced a new reality. I believe that in 2069, all means of technology and communication will change. These days, there is close union between distributors and content producers who work together with technology developers. In the future, this tendency will even intensify. As a result, there will be more dynamic and personalized iterations of television networks that can be configured at micro level.The future of mobile phones and television isclosely related. The technology of the future will have both benefits and drawbacks topeople and society in general. People’s confidentiality can be under the threat. Today, people trust the greatest part of their personal lives to the devices, and this tendency will only increase. What is more, technology will have an adverse impact on the behavior of people and relationsamongthem. Still, the advantages prevail sincesociety will considerably benefit. The system of education will have the most positive effect, as children all around the world will be able to receive the access to effective education via the cloud. The future of television and technology will not occur in a few years; it is happening right now. Parts to create a fun, interactive, and personalized experience have already been implemented and it is only necessary to combine them together. Greater collaboration of technology developers, content producers, and people is needed to create perfect TV. As a result, there will be more dynamic and personalized interaction of traditional networks, which can be customized.
