The Future

2026

• 2026 sounds so far away but yet its around the corner.

• Communication technology has taken off. From cars starting with your keys to unlocking your home from miles away.

• 10 years from now cars will be driving themselves and the luxury cars will be able to fly.

Social Learning Theory/ Social Cognitive Theory• People do not learn new behaviors solely

by trying them and either succeeding or failing, but rather, the survival of humanities dependent upon one

replication of the actions of others.

Parenting & Cellular Devices in 2026

• Parenting will be done by phone.

• Learning from parents will be obsolete.

• Kids are learning from their environment on how to become an adult and learning from their phones. In 10 years if we do not get a hold of all that is going on with our children.

• I see phones being the parent. It’s not physically possible but it’s very possible to let the environment teach our kids.

Moore’s Innovation Adoption Rate

• Moore’s Innovation Adoption Rate theory refers to “the groups of organizations involved in the production and distribution of the technology” This theory is broken down into categories of “Old “, “New”, “Newer”. The theory is that Moore believed in” Innovators whom are brave people that are very important when regarding communication. Next is early adopter which is opinion leader and respectable people. Following is early majority whom are thoughtful people who are more than willing to accept change. Then there are late majority which are skeptic people. Lastly are laggards which are people that are critical towards new ideas and will only accept a new idea if it becomes mainstream or traditional.”

Radio Changes for the People

• Nothing in radio is not respected until it becomes main stream.

• Radio can be broken up into the old, new and newer categories. Radio always has to keep achieving its self and getting rid of the old.

• Radio is one of the communication technologies that is always changing. I think in 10 years we’ll be going back to the basics of radio, where talking and playing music was the main event of the show.

• The equipment will be the part that becomes newer and newer. We now are able to run a radio show from our phone.

• In 10 years radio systems will be extinct. Radio will solely be heard from your phone through streaming purposes

Media System Dependency Theory

• • Describes how the media affects the lives of individuals. Considerable variation in in how much people depend on the media, and in what type of media are most influential

Social Media Break• Social Media never seems to

amaze me.• 10 years from now we will be

able to touch the person we are on Facebook with. In social media we will be able to have virtual dates.

• Social Media will take distance relationships to another level.

• The average teen spends 9 hours per day for all social media outlets.

• The average adult spend 4.7 hours a day
