How many higher education institutions are lacking in bringing social media into the limelight. This needs to be remediated, since it is an essential part of business in general, and technology especially.

So what's the next stepping stone for mobile tech? Everyone hops on the same tech train fad till it becomes obsolete and the sheep move on to the next pasture. Wearable tech is fun and such but I'm ready for the eye screens and technological body mods...but I'm just a dreamer yeah?
everything that can have a cpu will have a cpu and they will communicate together. you do one thing in your fridge and your phone, laptop, tv, car and tablet will know about it to... and soon our brains.
This is also commonly referred to as "the internet of things." Digital Sixth Sense is probably a more intuitive way to talk about it, but it's a complex topic to grasp regardless.
as with all new technologies there are goods and bad that have to be figured out. there are several security issues that will have to be addressed as wearables become more popular.
Like what they said about technology being about "best fit." Not everything will work for a specific need. It's about finding the best tech solution to assist with the individual task at hand.
Some of these trends are pretty out there but they're kind of foreseeable. The (technology) cloud is gaining popularity. Cds are absolute. It may be interesting how this changes many years after this expected technological date. Humans tend to go back, like the surge of buying records again. Maybe future angsty kids will declare cds as the only "real way" to listen to music.
Twitter allows anyone access to tweets. This is for other comapanies to build apps that connect with it. It also helps marketers. You can gain valuable information about an age group simply be seeing what they tweet about. Odds are if your audience is young, they will be tweeting.
Technology and advertising go hand in hand. The greater our technology gets, the different ways marketers choose target advertising. Article tells of geolocating and marketing ads to populations they know a lot of young people live, etc.
Modern technology could make cars a magical experience. But no one in the auto industry seems to care enough to make it happen. (By the way, "Mobile" is much more than phones. We will discuss this.)
Article outlines rumors that Amazon may finally be entering into smartphone market with the intention of taking on other mobiles companies as it did in the tablet market with the Kindle Fire (to limited success). The device may seek to stand out by using 3D technology. Rumored introduction in June.
This is a very big deal - most times when apps get bought out, their privacy policies are largely dismissed or completely changed. Due to the massive popularity and international use of WhatsApp, this is not a possibility. So the question is, if there will be no ads or information selling, how will Facebook make a profit with this aquisition? How can we as interactives sell this product?

Yeah, Facebook is notoriously uninterested in people's privacy, but they seem to be in a bit of a bind here. Of course Zuckerberg has always said "the revenue funds the product, not he other way around" - in direct contrast to basically every company ever.
The moderators of a popular subreddit (r/technology) are getting flaw for banning stories (via autofilter) that contained certain "controversial" terms. Nothing to see here, really.
The word "gamification," much like the phrase "social media" a few years back, is being lobbed around in technology circles as the next frontier in web and mobile. Just as nearly every application, website, brand and marketer now employs social media in some capacity, so too will these entities gravitate toward game mechanics in the years ahead."
Cool way a game has combined bringing a city together and innovation in technology. The game became a large event in Philadelphia and brought back a love for a classic game.
Facebook recently bought a headset that puts users in a virtual reality. I think it's cool, but I have trouble seeing many people wanting to wear a headset just to play games.
Kind of fun to look back and see what they were expecting this year to be like.
"In 2014, expect pop artists to sing the praises of Nike sneakers and Rice Krispies."
I found this article from SXSW that predicted technology trends. It seems as though wearable is going to be huge. It will be interesting to see how ads make their way into that since another trends is advertising on all devices and apps
The internet has really taken over the retail world. I grew up walking to BlockBuster on the weekends and getting a couple of movies for the weekend, now I just log onto Netflix and can watch instantly
