As we are in an unit dealing with technology, let's watch a video about it:
What do you think about?
Is that how technology is going to be in the future?
Think about three possible advantages and disadvantages of this kind of technology.
Make a proposal: How can elderly people adapt to this type of technology?
Post your answers as a comment.
What do you think about?
ResponderBorrarI think that is an interesting view of the future, especially in how the technologies that we have now are going to evolve into this new instruments that are going to make the life easier, because we will have access to new ways of communication and especially we are going to have changes in how we control the different aspects of our lives.
Is that how technology is going to be in the future?
I think it is, but maybe not in the year that the video says (2025), in my opinion we will have big technological advances in that year, but maybe not all the things that shows the video; I think that eventually in some point of the future we will be able to do all the things that we can see in the video.
Think about three possible advantages and disadvantages of this kind of technology
Advantages: Access to more specific information about things that we are going to buy or do. Capability of control multiple things in one place. Control of more aspects of our life.
Disadvantages: Full dependence on technology. People may become lonelier. People may become lazier and start to ignore everything but technology.
Make a proposal: How can elderly people adapt to this type of technology?
I think that elderly people have to be introduced into this type of technology in a slow way, so they can learn the most basic things and start for themselves to learn more; also, I think that the developers of these technologies have to make them in a way that all people, including elderly people, genuinely understand how it works, by making interfaces that everybody can relate with things of the real world.
Technology is doing our lives easier, I can not say that the technology of the video going to be the technology of ten years, we maybe need more time for create transparent gadgets with an invisible circuits, camera, and battery, with the capacity for create holograms , but if the technology of the video were possible, we could be more productive, doing meeting in real-time with people in different places, we can do this now, but not with a transparent pocket gadget, other advantage, could be that the smartphones could do more things and be easier our life’s, because they going to be more intelligent and useful, and finally the integration of our gadgets with other things like cars, houses going to be something very nice.
ResponderBorrarTalking about disadvantages, we can mention, that use electronics devices all the time can not be good, because we can become completely dependent of they, and that not is good., other bad thing it is that, we need to socialize face to face with other people, we can not talk all the time sending messages, or using the phone, other problem that we could think is that elderly people going to have problems using this technology, I think that not going to be a problem because the elderly people in ten years going to be used, to use gadgets like we can see on the video because, the technology has a development process and goes increasing slowly. All the people could have problems with this technology if comes tomorrow for example.
I think it's possible that the future will be like that, but not for everyone of course, there will be normal houses like the ones we see today and i think there will be a great social imbalance if people of the future will be such as consumer as we see in the video. So i think the technology will exist but it well be much likely to see in world powers than in the third world countries.
ResponderBorrarIn the advantages of having such technology we can mention time-saver, easy and efficient communication and more control of things at home. In the disadvantages we can mention the losing of some abilities because "the machines will do everything", a more sedentary life which is bad for our health and the replacement of nature with artificial stuff like we see in the video it's a very serious problem.
Elderly people can easy adapt to this technology if it provides a simple users interface, like voice commands, people just need to say what they need.
I think that technology is improving everyday and it is making people life's easier and the world smaller. Today we have many things like intelligent devices that connect with others and interact using the internet to do a lot of tasks, so why not to have things like the shown in the video in a couple of years ?
ResponderBorrarAdvantages:
- We can solve tasks more easily.
- We can take our work wherever we go.
- We can take more time for ourselves.
Disadvantages:
- People will be lazier.
- People will be more technology-dependent.
- People begin to suffer more illnesses related to a sedentary life.
I propose that the family of the elderly people give them a device of this kind so they can teach them how to use it in a slow way and with a lot of patience and dedication.
It is really nice, and I think that I would like to live in reality like that because everthing is going to be easier and as the video shows, the quality of live will be better. I also think that some one thougth in a future like that and put it ina video, there is also people who is working for that, and I remind that holograms was a rumor for one iphone, so we are not so far to see inventions like that.
ResponderBorrarAdvantages:
1- More control for health problems.
2- More secure in the highways, less accidents.
3- Don't lose time waiting in hospitals, offices or other places.
Disadvantages:
1- the people is going to get lacy.
2- There will be less contact with the people.
3- Not everybody could access to that tecnology.
I think that a good idea for the elderly people is design special apps for they, maybe exercices or things for their recreation, and also forums or chat rooms with other old people.
What do you think about?
ResponderBorrarIn my opinion, this technology to develop is not necessary, because today we have a lot of technology to meet all human needs . Also, people tend to rely on this technology , becoming useless people
Is that how technology is going to be in the future?
It depends of the economic interests of the companies, if it sells, I think that can be possible.
Think about three possible advantages and disadvantages of this kind of technology.
advantages:
faster and better communication.
Better access to information.
Time is better used.
Disadvantages:
production system based on planned obsolescence .
technology not available to all , because the economic constraints .
More sedentary lifestyle and the increase of government control
Make a proposal: How can elderly people adapt to this type of technology?
The only way is using it, the people doesn't learn how to use something only because they don't us it.
Well, I think that it is a good vision about the future, I believe that can be hard to achieve it but not imposible and I'll be in this kind of world living with a good technology in armony with the environment. I liked that the simple things like cook an egg had a relation with the advances.
ResponderBorrarAdvantages:
Talk to person around the world without problems
Things smaller
health better with control for each person.
Disadvantages
Bad use from the new technology (Like wars)
The technology take over the humans
Destruction of environment
I think the eldely people need to prove, and the young people teach the correct utilization.
It's an interesting way to see how's gonna be the future, but I see that kind of future absolutely not even close. I think that we sill need some more years to be capables to develop all of that kind of technology presented in the video.
ResponderBorrarAdvantages
Easily ways to complement our daily tasks
The people could waste less time doing things associated with our basic needs. (Cook, be Healthier...)
The different kind of jobs will be improved. More people maybe could be working at home. And have better communication quality.
I think that kind of technology will be very expensive, and no everyone could be able to afford it.
Disadvantages
The people could be lazier
The people could be more unhealthy, because of all the facilities that the technology will provide
About the elderly people, I think that they only way to know how to do something or use something is by self experience. So I think, for them it will be very difficult at the beginning but with the time they will get used to the new tecnology
1) I think that our future with the technology will be amazing but not only with the communication field (like showed in the video) but also in fields like nanotechnology, biotechnology, neuroscience and others than will improve our quality of life.
ResponderBorrar2) In think that it would be the technology for the future and much more, like I said in the previos answer. I think that the most important developments would be related with our health, where we could build artificial organs, for example.
3) Advantages:
- We can improve our health
- We can be smarter
- We can be more interconnected each other.
Disadvantages:
- We could be more lazy in usual activities.
- The new technologies would bring new problems to our society.
- We could lose some thing of our culture with globalization that brings the new technologies.
3) With the new technologies we can improve the quality of life of the elder people, like controlling them vital signs for example. We just have to design that technology for be easy and intuitive to use.
What do you think about?
ResponderBorrarNow the Technology is a important part of our lives and we have to get used to that, we have to learn how take advantage of the technology and not let technology control us
Is that how technology is going to be in the future?
Is going to be even more impressive, the technological advances are getting higher and faster
Think about three possible advantages and disadvantages of this kind of technology.
Advantages
- Healthy reminders
- Faster communications
- Constant change
Disadvantages
- People use to become lazy
- Some people develop a dependency for the technology
- Some people can't adapt to a fast evolve of technology
Make a proposal: How can elderly people adapt to this type of technology?
With constant classes of how use the devices and making the technology more user friendly
What do you think about?
ResponderBorrarIs interesting to see how people think about the technology in the future but I don't think we are going to experience that in the near future. In 2025 the technology is going to be developed but not to that point in which it make everything for us.
Is that how technology is going to be in the future?
Yes in the future, technology will be like that or even more developed and it's going to be an important part of our days. Also it's going to help us in aspects as work, studies, and we have to learn how to used in order to take the most advantages of it.
Advantages:
- Better communications with others
- Work can be done in anyplace
- Healthy control would be easier
Disadvantages:
- People become lazy
- People are going to be technology dependant
- Interactions between people are going to decrease
Make a proposal: How can elderly people adapt to this type of technology?
In order to elderly people adapt to this type of technology, we have to teach them now the basic things for example to use the computer or smartphones, so they can engage with technology and in the future they can use it easily.
1-It's amazing to see how technology could be every part of our lives and how useful it will be.
ResponderBorrar2- It could be, i can't be sure about something I don't know, but it may be like that or even better.
3- advantages:
- Don't have to take care of some things, technology will do it for you.
- You will have like a personal virtual assistant, it could help you in almost everything.
- life is gonna be so much easier
Disadvantages:
- Nowadays people are becoming more stupid, Tv's are getting thinner and people are getting fatter.
- people is getting useless, you don't need a postman for example, you just send an email.
- people are depending of technology they can't be without their cellphones for example. I can't imagine myself searching on books to do a project.
4- it could be useful for them taking care of their physical condition, their blood pressure, their medicines, to remind them when to take their treatments....
What do you think about?
ResponderBorrarI think that every day people is making changes and inventing new technology things, but I consider that those things shown in the video can become true in a far future, not in 2025.
Is that how technology is going to be in the future?
I'm sure that every time there are more changes in technology that make us an easier life. Those changes are going to help us in our daily life as nowadays, for example with communication, medicine, food. They are going to be better and will provide us many advantages.
Advantages:
-Better and easier ways of communication.
-New inventions in medicine that can eliminate some diseases that nowadays do not have cure.
-Easier way of getting information.
Disadvantages:
-More dependence on technology.
-People become lazier
-Losing personal communication.
Make a proposal: How can elderly people adapt to this type of technology?
They can take classes where people can explain about this technology, for example in the TEC some students give classes where they teach how to use the computer, how to create an email and and how use it, so with that they will become familiar with new technology. Also to have a better communication with the family about this topic.
Welll for me that ind of tecnology can be posible just look how much the world have improve in those fields only 20 years ago we did not have internet or cellphones and nowadays they are a really importante part of our lives, is not too far from now we can say that even tomorrow we can woke up listening to some of that ideas in the news because we all like humans are always looking for new things.
ResponderBorrarAdvantages:
Better health
Better and faster computers
Better technological devices to study
Disadvantages :
We are lazier
We are becoming less smart and lose some skills
We forgt about face to face communication
For the elderly we can make campaings and programs in order to help them, even in our home litle by little with the time we can help them
-What do you think about?
ResponderBorrarI think is a nice point of view of the future and specially of the days in which technology is going to be really advanced and simple but as a result peope will have more free time to enjoy with relatves. Against new technologies is important than us as persons do not forget about real things and little pleasures.
-Is that how technology is going to be in the future?
may be, technology is on the road to become from that way but honestly I do not like it very much because all will be materialist, is said... people won't have to meet in person to talk and the person whom used this technology must past all day pushing fiction charts into the air.
-Think about three possible advantages and disadvantages of this kind of technology.
three advantages that it should have is than ways of comunication will be easier, less traffic, easier and faster video calls, better and green cars and there will b more free time to spend with family.
three disadvantages is that it must be more expensive than nowadays, also than we must become in robots using that kind of technology all day and it do not let a normal human contact.
-Make a proposal: How can elderly people adapt to this type of technology?
Elderly people can get adapt at this technology if they began using little thnigs such as phones and tablets and then they can learn easily this technology; but it will improve their personal and health care because they can used the technology themselves and even have an faster answer of a familiar or a doctor.
*I think that this is funny. Beacuase if you turn back a couple of decades you´re going to see the people guesing aboutt how is gonna be the future. ovbiously some things was predicted but the most was wrong.
ResponderBorrarA funny example is the second movie of Back to the FUture, where the directors describes the year 2015 really advnaced and futurist, even with flying cars, but we already be on 2014 and I haven´t seen a flying car yet
*the tecnology now is business of glamour and i think that is hardly to suppose how the tecnology is going to be. But the tecnology is about to satisfy needs, so we can say that in the future days people will want to be more
glamousrous satifying their needs.
*advantages
-people would be connected all the time
-people would have their tools nearer
-people would be more eficient
*disadvantages
-people will be lazy
-based on our days, the tecnology is a obstacle to the fisic expresions of affection
-tecnology development some times is related to pollution and contamination
*for elderly people the change of what the already know by the new genertion of technology is hard, but I think is a matter of education to this poblation
For me it is to premature for 2025 to have this level of technology, but we can be so close on this year. As an elderly person, I think I can adapt to this , because our generation have seen the evolution of technology since the begginning until now. I will be normal for an elderly to manage technology, and it is funny because nowadays elderly people do not manage o like it. But we like it and also when we will be old.
ResponderBorrarThe adavantage is that it would make life easier, more access to information. But a disadvantage is that we will create a dependence of it something dangerous.
What do you think about?
ResponderBorrarThe video shows an incredible future, I would love to use this technology in my future work, however I feel that technology makes us more lonely people.
Is that how technology is going to be in the future?
If technology continues to advance at the same rate, I think so.
Think about three possible advantages and disadvantages of this kind of technology.
Advantages: Exact medical supervision, work from anywhere, remember every detail.
Disadvantages: Technology dependent, doesn't allow errors, lonely people.
Make a proposal: How can elderly people adapt to this type of technology?
It will be a bit tricky, but by custom class or a tutor with patience and dedication.
What do you think about?
ResponderBorrarIt was a very good video, I think in the next 10 years the technology will be in our hands just like that. I guess the technological advances could be even better, I noticed the flying cars and also the didactic systems we can access from a device similar to a cellular phone. When I was in primary school 8 years ago, I won’t imagine the world like is now; the tablets that helps us with our healthy, the intelligent appliances, the smarts TV; something that I’ve been waiting, the Google glasses. It was a little because the future will bring us much better and amazing things.
Is that how technology is going to be in the future?
Yes it is, but I guess we don’t have to wait until year 2025. Nowadays the flying skateboard exists, so there is not a big step to develop that technology in cars or another transport or vehicle. In 10 years the human being will be able to live more than 80 years, because the medical advances will allow that. They will tell you when to take the pills, also what symptoms are you feelings and how can you prevent to get sick. We saw this in the video when the old man took the tablet.
Think about three possible advantages and disadvantages of this kind of technology
Advantages:
1) The pollution will decrease a lot.
2) You take control of almost everything around you, even your body.
3) You might work from your house
Disadvantages:
1) The sedentary life will affect you, like an illness
2) The technology will be the only way to live so you must adapt to this
3) The social will be replaced.
Make a proposal: How can elderly people adapt to this type of technology?
They will try to go on with their living style but is won’t be good because the world is changing. I propose that the industries or whatever company that produces technology must take care of them, how? Developing special apps and specific devices for them.
I think it is a very real vision of the future, especially for the device they use, it looks like an iphone. I think the hologram technology already exists, but still have not been made public.
ResponderBorrarAvantages:
-The health of people would be monitored more efficiently.
-The environment would be helped by using less electronic devices then become garbage.
-Everything is simpler
Disadvantages:
-Personal contact decreases
-It can be dangerous in the wrong hands
-People stop thinking so much
Well, elderly people with a little bit of theaching can use these tecnology.
I think is a really helpfull technology and yes I think taht techonology will be like that but ofcourse not for all the people.
ResponderBorrarAdvantages: work from home, facilities to work using all tools, helpfull in medical issues.
Disadvantages: not all people will have access to this technology(high cost), some people won`t get used to it easly, doesn`t make people happier just help them with daily rutine.
Elderly people could adapt to this technology but will take a long time and need to be a slow process, people don`t have to forced them to used. And elderly people need to understand that they can use the technology only when they want, when they feel good using it for example phills alarm are very usefull to them.
What do you think about?
ResponderBorrarIn my opinion this is kind of technology can be very helpful specially to the international companies because how we can see in the video people in different countries can have a business meeting to make decisions for the company, besides that can be useful because the people can work or study from their own home and that reduce the quantity of cars in the streets and the pollution that the cars produces.
Is that how technology is going to be in the future?
Definitely it’s a possibility but we still need to develop this kind of technology and reduce the prices enough to all the people could buy it, and also we need to improve the communication infrastructure to be able to communicate with each other efficiently.
Think about three possible advantages and disadvantages of this kind of technology.
Advantages:
1- It’s an easier way to communicate with people.
2- It´s a solution to reduce the traffic in the cities.
3- We can have a better access to the digital information.
Disadvantages:
1- People have less exercise during the day.
2- We needs new infrastructure.
3- The cost of this kind of products could be very high.
Make a proposal: How can elderly people adapt to this type of technology?
The easiest way to adapt the older people to this kind of technology is with the help of their families, they need to get in touch with the new technology one step at a time and take the learning process with calm to understand how this technology works.
i think if the technology is going like this, we are going to emancipate in investigation and control; one think could be making research in Mars and leave the Earth in terms of conservation, that could be a great idea.
ResponderBorrarIt could be but is not 100% sure; we do not know how USA is going to move in wars terms and how will be the answer of the others countrys; so for the benefic of us and for the technology would be better if we make a socialism about technology terms.
the advantages will be more comunication, more control about the health and the talkactive with internet will be cheaper. the disadvantages i think will be the hacking of money accounts, the effective virus that will be on internet and spy with important users.
the proposal will be that if you need to take care about you and you do not have enough money to make a consultation try to make virtual consultation an important tool and that will make more atractive the technology.
