Futurama is an American science fiction sitcom that is set in New New York, in the 31st century. I chose to post a video from this show because it displays an illustration of how the society and new technology possibly could turn out in a thousand years. The writers has been highly creative and the future is filled with numerous of technological advances made between the present and the 31st century. For instance, the Internet is its own digital world, which is being fully immersive and is encompassing all your senses (similar to The Matrix). It is very slow and largely consists of pornography, pop-up ads and "filthy chat rooms" - Some of them edited to include educational material, seemingly for youth.
C: http://www.paper.il/ - The future newspaper?
Internet based newspapers is the future, and new and creative solutions is definitely rising. Trough a friend I found a site called paper.il, which is a site where you can build your own newspaper completely based on your interests.
This site uses your Twitter account as a source and then gives you personalised news articles that is based on your profile and the people that you follow.
It is a very new site and therefore it also has it's disadvantages. The most annoying one of them is probably that it only updates itself every 24 hour. This is one of the same downsides that regular newspapers struggle with; the news get old before it gets out to you. But at the same time, maybe you can update the news right before your morning coffee and efficiently catch the latest news that appeals to you!
I'm not sure about how they choose what to post and what not to post, but with smart technology, this could be a service that really has something going for it!
This is how my newspaper turned out:
My recommendation: Try it!
Questions:
I got my first form of new communication technology when I was about 9 years old. It was a large Samsung mobile phone and I got it when me and my family was going on a vacation to Spain. The purpose of it was to make my parents able to keep track of me, if / when I got lost (which apparently happened quite a lot). I have since then tried almost every new technology that is developed. My old web page was one of them that I spent a lot of time using. The site was created when I was about 13 and it was called http://www.turborosin.piczo.com/ (at the risk of being humiliated, please keep in mind that I was only 13). I don't know how many hours I used on this, but I don't think I really want to know..
My dad is the one that has introduced me to most of the technology I have tried. He loves being first and discover new things, so he can be the one teaching others how to use it. I guess it runs in the family.
I don't think that privacy is a big issue for me. I'm fully aware of the fact that everything I post online is kept and stored somewhere in the world and that it can be used against me later in life. In fact I think this is a small price for using the social platforms for free.To minimise this problem I always keep my privacy settings as private as possible and regularly checking the account settings to see if something has changed. Knowing that facebook often changes their privacy settings on order to get the most out of their users.
Both facebook and Google keep information about their users so that they can make a profit selling it to companies, which for instance uses the information to personalise advertising with you as a target.
I have friends that I only know from the Internet. In fact, I worked with people that I've never seen in real life for almost a year. Back in Norway I worked in a student consulting group along with students from all over the country, where we used Skype as a communication platform. This made us able to work together as a team even though some of us had never seen each other before and we were thousands of miles apart.
