Discuss about Evolution of social network
' History of technology has influence into the future '
After we discuss about the evolution of Social Network. We see that the technology in history has influence to the present and future because it is the generation of the technology that responds the demand of user in that time. Maybe it is the trend that possible in social network. We didn’t focus much in the history of the social network but we consider more about the future device.
For the prediction in the future, all of us agree in that because some of the devices are now happen. Almost technology base on convenience, lifestyle, usability and behavior. There are many interesting topic about the future of technology that we have discussed.
In The Past
In The Future
First, we think that it may have some new social network that take over Facebook because Facebook has many fake profiles, it look unbelievable. If the new social network occurs with only real profile, it will believable. You can use the social network that contain the real profile instead of passport or something else that guarantee your real profile so it make more easily in your life.
Second, the virtual game that based on your own neighborhoods. There is a game that people can play with real people around their area via network because there are many social networks that can identify that place where you are. In Thailand has some kind of that game occur name ‘N battle’.
Third, we discuss about robot (A.I.). It can work instead of human. It seems to be possible that human can employ the robot to do the work.
Forth, People can touch one another through their phones. This technology appropriate with the people who don’t stay together. Nowadays it has a robot that cloning behavior of people and have another robot that check what are they doing. After that we thinking of the Teddy bear. Suppose that you are going somewhere and you want to hug or have a conversation with another. You just buy the Teddy bear when you hug that bear, the other bear will follow your action. If we have technology on phone that can touch each other, it will be good and creative.
Fifth, Tracking technology in embedded in the bodies of more than 50% of Americans. For this topic we think that it has more chance to be possible because nowadays it has evidence to be true. There is some USA school start to use RFID to tracking student. It will follow where you are when you come to school. It can reduce student hooky. Anyway, this method still has resistance from privacy agreement.
Sixth, You can upload the content of your brain to a computer. In this topic we still not sure that it can be true or not because we can't imagine what type of information that can be upload and how can we manage the information when we want to download it. But if we are talking about the technology that resemble to this technology in these day, we can detect some emotion in our brain. In Japan, it has product like ‘cat ear’ that can detect your emotion. If you are happy, the cat ear will wiggle like happy cat but when you feel sad, the cat ear will flow down.
From now on, the technology and innovation continue improvement and enhance to be more efficiency. So, it could be the big revolution of human.
