Future of Media.


When I think ahead to the future of media, I consider how far the immersive quality of movies will go. I’ve always pictured the 3D movies as a passing trend but now it seems like its here to stay. I imagine the new technologies will eventually break the will of all those still holding out on said technologies. I have always refused to carry a smart phone or see movies exclusively in 3D, but I think eventually that will be all that is offered. We will one day realize that there things cannot be escaped and finally take advantage of all of these extremely modern indulgences. 3D will also find its way even further into video games and cell phones, so that eventually we will be able to carry a tiny 3D theater with us wherever we go.

In fifteen years, I imagine buying my children the latest video game system. With the advances in video gaming technologies, the consoles with be far more readily available and entirely more immersive. With motion-action systems like the Wii and the 3D portability of the 3DS, full immersion gaming appears to be the future. Said immersion could go as far as movies and the Internet as well. I don’t believe we’ll be living in a Futurama world where you can walk around in the internet, but that will be a close idea of what to expect. 3D virtual display screens may very well be a reality and interfacing with phones and computers could implement this technology as well.

In 50 years, everything we know of technology will have changed. Eventually, there may not even bee a need to leave home for anything. Work, play, and pretty much all of life could be accomplished through the airwaves. Global, fail-free internet will be a possibility, and the devices for communicating on these networks could go as far as to beam directly into ones brain. Hopefully, with the advancement of medical technology, I will be able to enjoy said technologies in my old age. I just hope the TV is still good.
