CURRENT AND FUTURE TRENDS OF MEDIA AND INFORMATION
"Technology in the 21st Century"
Haptics technology
a. Is a feedback technology (using computer applications) that takes .advantage of the user’s
sense of touch by applying force, vibrations and/or motions to the User. Simple haptics
is used in game controllers, joysticks and steering wheels and is becoming more common
in Smartphones.
b. Haptics is gaining widespread acceptance as a key part of virtual reality systems (i.e.
computer simulated environments) - adding the sense of touch to previously visual-only
solutions. It is also used in virtual arts, such as sound synthesis, graphic design and
animation.
c. There are many possibilities for Haptics to be applied to gaming, movies, manufacturing,
medical, and other industries. Imagine your doctor operating on you in Cairns from his
computer in Brisbane or ‘feeling’ the texture of clothing for sale on the internet or
interacting with a hologram.
d. Haptics technology has the potential to create new industries in the future.
Contextual awareness
By combing ‘hard sensor’ information such as where you are and the conditions around you,
combined with ‘soft sensors’ such as your calendar, your social network and past preferences -
future devices will constantly learn about who you are and how you live, work and play. As
your devices learn about your life, they can begin to anticipate your needs. Imagine your PC
advising you to leave home 15 minutes early or take a different route to avoid a traffic jam on
your way to work. Consider a “context aware” remote control that instantly determines who is
holding it and automatically selects the Smart TV preferences for that person.
Voice and tone recognition
Not only can voice and tone recognition be used to confirm a person’s identity but tone
recognition can be used to detect a person’s health or emotional state. This technology will open
new opportunities in security and healthcare – with mobile applications.
Intelligent routing to devices

This future technology will be useful to, for example, local councils. While on the move, staff
will be able to provide the precise description and location of a street-based issue using
Smartphones and mobile devices that can take photos and have GPS (global positioning system)
support. Intelligent routing will then alert the responsible team to action.
Eye tracking technology
Eye tracking technology measures eye positions and movements which are analysed through
computer applications. Future laptops, smartphones and tablets could contain thousands of tiny
imaging sensors built into the display screen. Eye tracking technology could have many possible
applications, including:
• Law enforcement – lie detection
• Airport security – identifying suspicious behavior, e.g. to catch terrorists before they strike
• Retail – recording, monitoring and analyzing consumer behavior to ‘tailor’ marketing to

individuals
• Websites feedback – gauging User experience and preferences
• Safety - alerting and awakening a drowsy or distracted driver would save many lives
• Health care – assisting people with disabilities or paralysis to communicate (laptop) and
improve mobility (electric wheelchair)
• Human-computer interaction – using screen icons and a blink here or a gaze there. Say
goodbye to the mouse and keyboard.
Internet glasses! Laser based displays within eye wear
Technology that can display images directly onto our retinas while not blocking our sight is
being developed. This technology can be used in eyeglasses and have uses ranging from e-
Gaming to military defense. In the next 10-20 years experts predict that Internet glasses will
replace Smartphones. Imagine these viewing experiences:
• Seeing building schematics and locations of others (especially useful for security or fire
fighters)
• Giving a speech while information is streamed to your eyeglasses in real time
• Receiving turn by turn directions as you walk toward your destination

• Viewing virtual recipes while cooking without losing your rhythm
• Walking down the street, seeing one of your friends show up "on screen" 2 blocks and 1 cafe
away
• Identifying horses or football players and getting odds, player statistics and live data via the
glasses
Mind map
Technologies in the future
Technology I like the most Technology that is already Technology that might
existing. happen next year
-It is the eye tracking technology
device since, it can be used in Voice and Tone recognition. -It might be eye tracking
different aspects of life. Haptics technology technology device.
FUTURE EDUCATION
1) When and where can a student who has enrolled in a MOOC study and submit projects or
answer?
-MOOC's have syllabi and course materials that tells you what you need to submit and
how to submit it. Generally, it is through automatic grading of assignments, quizzes and
exams or through the discussion board.
2) Describe "visualizing culture" as a traditional subject. “
Visualizing Cultures,” a groundbreaking program that leverages digital technology to

support image-drive research. It is a website at MIT intended to web "images and
scholarly commentary in innovative way to illuminate social cultural history.
3) How many students first enrolled in the course?
There were 300 students who first enrolled in the course.
4) Why did the professors change the course "visualizing Japan" into a platform? What are
the effects? Did it improve its number of students?
The change was because of MOOC, a great way to collaborate across institutions.
Visuals have been improved that makes the content more accessible and discussion forums
have been developed worldwide.
As of 2018, the numbers of students enrolling in MOOC is slowing down from 23 million in
the last year to 20 million but despite this number of students who are paying increased.
a) How many professor worked on the MOOC subject?]
There were 5 professors.
Shigeru Miyagawa- professor of linguistic
Kochi Manjiro - professor of Japanese language and culture.
Andrew Gordon - Harvard University Historian.
Gennifer Wensfeld - Duke University art historian.
John Dower - MIT professor of history
5) Do you think the Philippines should have MOOC in the future? Explain your answer.
-With the current state of internet connection nowadays, it should be first improved. But
yes, Philippines should have to compete in the global competition and go with the flow of
1st and 2nd world countries in the world. This way, since, technology is very common
nowadays, education will be better and since it is free, people won’t have financial
problems and it is affordable.
