Networks and Communication

Both Synchronous and Asynchronous ways of communication are used today by most of the world. Without these types of communication we wouldn't be where we are now. Thanks to Skype we now can see our families who are overseas. Thanks to Text Messaging we can share and exchange information in matter of seconds. I really liked the idea they wrote about in the article "Skype in the Classroom, from York to Antarctica". Letting children in classrooms talk to people who might influence them in some way is a great idea. It opens their minds. I would like to see more of this in the coming years. But like everything is this world, synchronous and asynchronous way of communication have their cons. Like mentioned in article" Study: Texting while walking affects your balance". things can get dangerous when you are focused only on your phone. We hear more and more about accidents involving texting especially texting and driving. I am pretty sure that in coming years we won't be seeing more of these accidents because we will come out with new ways of communicating.

    Im pretty sure if i was in charge of building cars in the future i would recommend that all cars have a some kind of jammer in eh car which doesn't allow you to use your phone while the car is in Drive, unless you put in Park you wouldn't be able to use your phone

  2. Seeing how our technology can do amazing things now, just imagine in the future how fast the communication is gonna be compare to now. We'll probably use holograms to talk to each other even if we are hundreds of miles away, it'll feel like that person is if us.
