[SOLVED] The Evolution of Technology
My initial discussion should be at least 2 paragraphs. I will post 2 peers discussions at the bottom. A response to my peers should be at least 1 paragraph. Very simple The Module Eight required resources discuss a couple of the new and changing technologies that will continue to impact how we communicate now and may communicate in the future. For this discussion, you will consider what you have learned throughout the course about communicating with non-technical audiences and stakeholders and how communication technology could impact that communication in the future. In an initial post: Choose a single technology that currently exists and discuss: Your predictions for how the technology will change over the next 10 years. How changes to the technology might impact communication in your current or future workplace. In a response to two peers: Agree or disagree with the initial posters predictions for the future of the selected technology. Provide recommendations for how you can stay up to date with this technology as it changes over the next 10 years. Peer: Bradley I predict that over the next 10 years technology will change even to meet the new demand by consumers. For example the crisis we are facing now with COVID-19 caused a lot of businesses to shut down and the ones that are lucky to adapt to use technology are fighting to keep their business open. The retail chain I work for started to use FedEx to ship customers orders to their house that did not want to come inside the store to pick it up. I also noticed more and more businesses started using online ordering and curbside up in effort to meet the consumer needs. The way technology will change the workplace is that more business will start using remote access. The need to own or rent an office space will soon be not needed for a lot of companies. Running a business remotely from home especially in the crisis we face now is more important than ever. I feel that employee will be more engaged in a clam relaxed environment which the business productive level will increase (Three Future Workplace Realities You Must Be Prepared For, 2018). Peer: Jennifer Being in the medical field and with the current pandemic situation one technology I can talk about is video camera calling. At the practice I work those who are high risk and should be staying home during the pandemic, but still need to have their doctors appointments are being taken care of by telemedicine appointments. Telemedicine is having a doctors visit from the comfort of your home through video camera with your doctor. This technology has been very useful for us during this pandemic. Over the next 10 year I think video calling will be more popular and phone calls will not exist. I think it will get to a point where video calling will be the only option to communicate with one another. Phone calls, text messaging, emailing all these will be left behind and video calling will be the trend. I think video calling taking over will impact my current workplace (medical field) in a good way. Sometimes messages can be miss interpreted through email or text messages. I think a video call will make communication between patients and myself easier. Looking at someone while they speak can help understand the feeling, meaning, emotion, and affect behind the conversation.
