Recent advancements in technology have made big impacts on what is trending in society. Out of all of the trends though only a few stand out to me, Auto Intelligence like “Siri”, Virtual Reality like Oculus, and Global Positioning Satellites. In the field of study I am pursing all three of these would be a huge benefit, but the two I chose to right about are the AI and the Virtual Reality. Virtual Reality like the “Rift” system from the company Oculus is a fast growing market with large companies’ now start to create their own systems. The “Rift” system is currently used for mostly gaming, but I believe that one day in the near future a company with make it useful for a large variety of things. According to Forbes.com even Mark Zuckerberg, chairman of Facebook has said “Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face—just by putting on goggles in your home.” And with that kind of backing you know the technology has very great potential. We will be able to learn better by being immersed in a world where the instructor can teach us by showing use in real time what they want us to see. I mean just think of how awesome that would be as a teach also, taking your students on a “Magic School Bus” like tour of the inside of a computer. So I hope one day the virtual reality makes it way to improve our lives like so many other technologies already have. Everyone know how much easier Siri has made live with the use of voice recognition and Auto Intelligence, but they forget how powerful it can be. Auto Intelligence can be a useful tool if you know how to use it and teach it how to search for the stuff you want to find. Now we have self-driving cars, and robots that can do just about anything. Before though the robots had to be programmed and would only follow a set of directions a human had input, but now they can think for themselves to an extent. It’s kind of scary when you think about it, but it is also really helpful. The auto intelligence used for these robots can make them think about the future and if a problem arises they can execute a different procedure to prevent it from happening. Also some of them even have emotions, but I digress, they real reason they would be good in my field of study is that I can use them as a tool to help me complete boring repetitive tasks. Robots don’t get tired or bored so it would be perfect for them to do it. So in conclusion to my research, I would say auto intelligence and virtual reality would be a great benefit, because of the ability to do boring and repetitive tasks and being able to show me how stuff works in real time. I think the virtual reality would make a bigger impact in schools, but auto intelligence would definitely win in the workplace. Each have their pro’s and con’s, but I think the pro’s outweigh the cons by a long shot.
