Recommended: ROLE OFTECHNOLOGY ON AGRICULTURE

Introduction
The year is 2060, and technology has advanced to its greatest depths and limits. There are flying cars, the cure for cancer has been found, and the way citizens receive news has improved as well. Thanks to the invention, News-O-Gram (a word modified from “hologram”), news is instantly delivered to News-O-Stands everywhere. No longer are there paper newspaper stands but rather, sleek and innovative News-O-Stands. Composed of holographic technology, this tiny but sturdy machine is able to virtually give news, all in the form of a 3D newscaster.
History of Holography and the Hologram/How It Relates to the Invention of News-O-Grams/Stands
Holography “is a photographic technique that records the light scattered from an object, and then presents it in a way that appears three-dimensional” (Workman). This technique in turn creates holograms. Hologram is a term that combines the “Greek words “holos, for the whole or entire, and “gramma,” for picture or message” (Schwendener). They are the end result of holography; the actual 3D images that are created from lasers and diffracting light. This technology was discovered in 1947, by Dennis Gabor but was condoned “a failed invention” and eventually explored again in the 1950’s (Johnston 223). It became a conceivable reality when the invention of the laser occurred in 1960. In today’s world, holograms are seen on a small scale. Rainbow holograms are used “... for security purposes on credit cards and driver’s licenses...” (Workman). By using holographic advancements, one day the News-O-Gram/Stands will be feasible. The technology needed to create holograms is still being tampered with, but hopefully one day it will be fully developed and support the evolution of news and journa...

Positive Impacts/Benefits of News-O-Gram/Stands
Technology has allowed humanity to revolutionize for the better. Education has improved in third world countries such as Kenya, where non-profit programs such as Eneza allow students to “access quizzes, mini-lessons and tips and tricks on local content via the web, mobile web...” (Tsao). Agriculture in third world countries have also flourished thanks to technological advances that allow farmers to see prices before traveling to markets. Banking numbers are going up as well, as third world countries are able to access the ability to “transfer money with each other, take out insurance policies, and collect payments from government agencies” (Tsao). One of the biggest benefits of increased technology in human lives though, is

  • The Decline in Journalistic Substance: Does it Matter?

    965 Words  | 2 Pages

    In response to James Fallows’ four premises in his “Learning to Love the (Shallow, Divisive, Unreliable,) New Media,” April 2011. I must say that while I want desperately to argue against his fears, as I am an optimist at heart, I cannot. I have turned this over and over and I have to say that with only a few points of specific contradiction, as a whole I agree. I believe that this is becoming an age of lies and idiocy. I agree that already there is a tendency for media to follow dollars instead of issues. I believe that we Americans are becoming more isolated. Finally, our ability to concentrate is not only undone by technology, but also by our own expectations to be entertained by the media. However, I do not think that the responsibility lies totally with the Gawker.coms of the world, but within ourselves. This is a trend that has been a long time coming. And, like a train down the track, it cannot be easily stopped.

  • Augmented Reality

    1260 Words  | 3 Pages

    The story of augmented reality goes back as far as the early 1900’s when L. Frank Baum wrote the “novel The Master Key. Printed in 1901, the book mentions a “character marker” set of electronic spectacles that when you view someone through them would show a letter on that person’s forehead regarding their character.” However, the first invention to use some type of augmented reality would not come along till 1968 and Ivan E. Sutherland and his head mounted three dimensional display. “The fundamental idea behind the three-dimensional display is to present the user with a perspective image which changes as he moves.” This would allow for an illusion of 3D on a 2D plane. This however, wasn’t true augmented reality; yes this augmented what you see on a screen and gave an illusion of 3 dimensions, but it does not overlay actual reality with com...

    Every morning when you wake up the first thing you look at is your phone and most likely it shows you what’s new on that day, it keeps showing you new things to make you use electronics, and that is why most people lose their eyesight or go blind. According to the Feed by M. T. Anderson page 5 show as for how electronics will affect our future “There is nothing but the feed telling you, this is the music you heard. This is the music you missed. This is what is new. Listen.” If this problem stops and people start using fewer electronics, more people would not lose their eyesight and will have a better eyesight than the person who uses it a lot. If this problem keeps going it will cause humanity a lot of trouble like the economy will drop and since most people are blind there will not be a lot of workers. Electronics didn’t only make people lose their vision it also makes them spend so much money on

    The media is sometimes called the “Fourth Estate” because of its influence in shaping the course of politics and public opinion. Some people are influenced by what they read or hear and others are not. There is a well-known psychological process called selective attention. Wilson, Dilulio, and Bose define it as “paying attention only to those news stories with which one already agrees.” (290)

    1581 Words  | 4 Pages

    Thirty years ago, if I told you that the primary means of communicating and disseminating information would be a series of interconnected computer networks you would of thought I was watching Star Trek or reading a science fiction novel. In 2010, the future of mass media is upon us today; the Internet. The Internet is and will only grow in the future as the primary means of delivering news, information and entertainment to the vast majority of Americans. Mass media as we know it today will take new shape and form in the next few years with the convergence and migration of three legacy mediums (Television, Radio, Newspaper) into one that is based on the Internet and will replace these mediums forever changing the face of journalism, media and politics. In this paper I will attempt to explain the transition of print media to one of the internet, how the shift to an internet based media environment will impact journalism and mass media, and how this migration will benefit society and forever change the dynamic of news and politics.

  • Elements Of Journalism

    An argument can be made that Journalism is one of the very few professions in the world of media that is handled with some sort of dignity and pride. After reading “The Elements of Journalism” by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel, I realized how important journalism is to each and every one of us. Whether you’re a writer or a reader, the back and forth exchange between provider and consumer is extremely important in pushing society forward. Journalism after all is designed to challenge society, promote new ideas and spark conversation between one another. Despite the positives of journalism, there are issues that exist within the profession that cannot be excused and cannot be ignored.

    Technology has changed modern society drastically, both positively and negatively. Technology has influenced every aspect of our life, making it simpler but not necessarily better. Albert Einstein was concerned about the advancement of technology. "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction."1 Undoubtedly, what has changed the most are communication, the spread of information, and how business is practiced. Consequently, practically everyone knows how to use a computer, connect to the Internet, or use a smartphone. This is demonstrated by the way the Internet is used daily by millions of people to communicate, to sell, advertise, retrieve, and share information.
