To see our future,think of the world the next generation are growing up in
The world to a 18 year old today • Born in 1993 • Phones have always had push buttons, why dial a number? • Mobile phones are the normal, not having one is abnormal! • SMS and Instant messaging is the way to communicate with friends (or is it facebook today) • They will have 1 contact number through most of their life • How many contact numbers have you had in your life? • When did you get your 1 contact number? • They have always had an answering service, why have an answer phone?
The world to a 18 year old today • Most have never seen a black and white TV apart from “crimewatch” • There have always been VCR’s, (not for much longer) • How did you live with only 4 TV channels? • They cannot fathom a life without a remote control. • What do you mean I sound like a broken record, • is that error 404 file not found? • Music is all about mp3, AAC etc. • They will carry “their” music in an iPod like device • Device cost 50-200 $ and holds 14K$ worth of music • They have likely never played Pac Man, and have never heard of "Pong.”
Will you admit to your grandchildrenthat these games kept you occupied ?
The Information Revolution has only just started We usually • underestimate the impact … • underestimate the time it will take… • fail to spot the final uses … • Ridicule the whole idea But • We rarely uninvent things! • They just change their names How are you journeying through the digital age?
