Technology and Our Future



1.    Sharon thinks that the next big thing is going to be glasses.  Yes, she said glasses, but not just any pair of glasses.  These glasses will have the ability to create a real life experience by using virtual holograms for entertainment purposes.  It makes sense for this type of technology because everyone loves entertainment especially if it’s right in front of you.  It’ll be more convenient and entertaining because if you’re stuck somewhere with nothing to do, just put your glasses on and watch some television.

2.    Stephen thinks that the next big thing in technology is going to be hologram concerts, like the one 2Pac just had.  It looked like he was there in real life, but he’s been dead for years.  Now a musical group, dead or alive, can have concerts at fifty different places at once. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmJtarY5BIo&feature=related

3.    Glynda thinks that the next big thing is going to be the vibrating tattoo.  Although Nokia just patented this product, Glynda thinks it will be successful in the near future to people all around the world.  This type of tattoo will alert its users when their phone rings.  Much like customized ringtones, this tattoo will also have its own customizations for its callers.

4.    Mirannda thinks the next big thing will be self-driving cars. Since there are so many accidents due to incompetent or drunk drivers, the government will issue a law that mandates  people to use these vehicles.

5.    Heather thinks the next big thing in technology is going to be 3D Printing.  She thinks this because her mom works at Fed Ex and she was telling her about this new technology that would be changing the face of that business.  3D Printing is 3D printing is an additive technology in which objects are built up in layers in a process that often takes several hours.
