This article for my fourth and final post discusses the technologies that will be shaping the future of social media sites. one techolonogy that seemed extremely appealing was that of optical pattern recognition and augmented reality. In the article, an example is used describing a technology that scans and displays social media pages of people you are in the room with. I was just thinking how interesting that could be to run a scan and instantly view a persons Facebook page instead of getting up and introducing yourself.

This article discussed the technology that is shaping the future of social media. I thought is was going to be a simple article that would talk about the new devices or computers that are effecting technology. However, it was more in-depth then that. The article talks about the specific parts of a computer that has helped shaped social media. This is an interesting look on the development of social media and where it is going. In the end the future of social media is left up to the technology.
ReplyDeleteChance,
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this yet, but it sounds like it could really be a cool feature in the future.
This article was very in detailed with future technology, and quite honestly, I have not heard of very many of them. I can't really imagine my phone having a built-in optical pattern recognition or augmented reality. I'm sure some of this technology already exists, but it is hard to imagine having it at the tips of my fingers.
