TRENDS IN MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY

Trends in Media and Technology

Edi Sukmara

In the later future the trend of media and technology can be seen from the phenomenon of media merge which will integrate several separate media into more unifying ones. The advancement development of computer makes it possible to combine some distinct media and create more interactive media. Everything will be digitalized and people will access everything easily. 

This trend will continue to the convergence of telecommunications technologies. This can happen as computer is able to reduce all conventional information forms into a common form-stream of digital bits. Computer is able to combine complex combinations of text, numbers, sound, motion images, simulations, integrated learning systems, and job aids into interactive programs that will be cross-indexed and stored in databases for instant retrieval and use.

The next trend is the convergence and disappearance of computers. Computer technology will grow rapidly and many computers will emerge and disappear fast. Computer will have certain features that converge many tools such as pens, notebooks, chalkboards, desktops, and many more. This will make learning never easy as before.

The trend of media and technology will take many advantages from the rapid growth of telecommunication systems, information superhighway and telecommunication networks. Students will get the information easily as the satellite and fiber optic will make the internet fast, and as the computers are becoming more ubiquitous, they will do the tasks in their private rooms. This will cause the rapid spread of information throughout the world and make the students exchange the information easily.
