WE ASKED some school teachers that “How do you

think technology

will change in the future?”

Page 5: AISD2 (change)final

ANSWERS WE GOT FROM TEACHERS FROM DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OF DELHI

If I were writing this, I'd try first to think of why technology changes. Then I would see if I could tell from that what sorts of changes will occur.

For example, people say necessity is the mother of invention. If you believe that, you should ask yourself what kinds of technology will be needed in the future. I would say that all sorts of green technologies and alternate fuels will be needed in the future. So will advances in medical technology as we get more old people.

I'd consider which technologies have changed the most in your lifetime, for they are the most likely to continue to change, it

seems to me. I think about the changes in technology regarding music, for example, and I notice things are getting smaller (from

the large LPs to...I'm not even sure what the smallest unit of music is today, because it's not able to be touched!) and cheaper and

more specific (choosing one song to download rather than having to by an entire album). That means the technology to play and/or listen has dramatically changed, as well. (No more eight-track or cassette players in cars, for example, and soon probably none will

have DVD options.) What other things have undergone such transformations over the course of your lifetime? That's where

I'd start; from the past you can generally predict the future. Have fun with this!

High School Teacher ANSWERED

Just from a teacher's point of view, I believe all classrooms will have a computer at every desk for every student. The Internet will be used much more extensively. Books may well eventually be replaced by electronic devices such as the Kindle and its future upgrades. More classes will be available online.

High School Teacher ANSWERED

I recently read two stories by Ray Bradbury that offer a view on a possible future world where technology has become

incredibly advanced. You might like to read them yourself to think about some various possibilities. They are called "There

will come soft rains" and "The Veldt". Both are dystopias, in that they present a future world where all is not well for

various reasons - but I won't spoil them for you! I think we will see a heightened informational society where access to all

kinds of information becomes ever easier. But with this, I think there is so much danger as scientific advances take us places

where perhaps man was never meant to go.

FINALLY AFTER LOTS OF RESEARCH

AS A RESULT WE FOUND THE 31 WAYS BY WHICH TECHNOLOGY

HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES FOREVER.

DIFFERENT WAYS FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE OF OUR

SOCIETY…

Technology has killed the greeting card.

We are no longer paying postage to send out birthday cards. An e-card, text, or email has that covered.

How we shareWe are no longer using the traditional route of sharing information. Social networks now

allow us to share pretty much anything, anywhere, anytime.

Shubham SoniMayur Vihar Ph-1, Pratap NagarDelhi, 8:55 am

How we watch TVOur TV experience has evolved. We

are no longer prisoner to a TV set. We can now watch what we what, when

we want, how we want.

How we communicateGone are the days of picking up the phone

or heading over to someone's house to chat. Smartphones and the internet have

replaced traditional chats with virtual ones.

Nilesh KumarMayur Vihar Ph-1, Pratap NagarDelhi, 10:40 am

Page 28: AISD2 (change)final

How we readWe no longer need to carry books if

we don't want to. Smartphones, tablets, and e-readers have made it

easier for us to carry our books around without breaking our backs.

How we parentParenting has now expanded to the internet. We now have to teach our children digital etiquette and warn

them about the dangers on the streets as well as online.

Fold a mapFew people these days bother with traditional road maps

when they can use apps such as MapQuest and Google Mapsto figure out where they’re going, or the GPS systems in their

cars or on their smartphones to help them get there.

Cash a paycheckThere used to be long lines at the bank every

Friday as people lined up to cash their paychecks, but today most employers deposit wages directly

into their employees’ bank accounts.

Invest in a set of encyclopediasThere was a time when a person could make a good living selling encyclopedias, and many families were

proud to provide their children with such a comprehensive source of human knowledge, but the

Internet made paper encyclopedias obsolete.

Buy a newspaperFor hundreds of years, newspapers were how most people learned what was happening across town or around the world. Today, we still crave news but we get most of it online, instantly and, in most cases,

free of charge.

Listen to portable cassette or CD

players

Who needs all that hardware? Rather than haul around a

few tapes or CDs and a clunky machine, we can store thousands

of songs in our pocket-sized

smartphones or MP3 players, or tune into

Internet services such as Pandora or

Spotify for even more musical choices.

Dial *69Remember that neat trick of dialing *69 to find out who called you? Today, billions of

people have caller ID as a standard feature on their phones.

Write lettersScholars have been mourning the lost art of conversation for years, and now letter writing is going the same way.

With so many people communicating through email, instant messaging, text messages and social media, few of

us choose to write letters anymore.

Do research at the libraryPublic libraries are great community resources, but technology is changing the role they play in our lives. If kids go the library to do

their homework now, they bring a laptop computer and use the library’s Internet connection to do their research online, which most

of them could do just as easily from home. So they’re really just there to hang out with their friends.

Shivani VermaMayur Vihar Ph-1, Pratap NagarDelhi, 9:00 am

Consult the Yellow PagesThe idea of a printed telephone directory to help customers

locate businesses seems almost quaint in an era when so many companies have their own websites and consumers post reviews online to help other people determine which

business can best meet their needs.

Raghav SoniMayur Vihar Ph-1, Pratap NagarDelhi, 10:46 am

Call theaters for movie informationIt’s still possible, of course, but it’s usually just so much

easier to check Flixter or Fandango to get show times and theater locations. And while you’re there, you can also watch

trailers and read reviews by both critics and viewers.

Use disposable camerasDisposable cameras used to be a hassle-free way to take snapshots, but now that so many mobile phones feature

cameras that can take high-quality photographs and videos, we’ve pretty much trashed disposable cameras.

Pay bills in person or by

mail

Not so long ago, paying your bills meant

showing up with your checkbook in hand or mailing checks to your creditors, but electric

funds transfer now makes it possible to

pay bills online, access or transfer your money from nearly anywhere in the world, and buy and sell stuff online

without sending money or checks through the

mail.

Consult travel agentsWhen was the last time you had a travel agent plan your vacation?

Exactly. Not many people do that anymore. Who needs travel agents when sites like TripIt will organize all your travel plans and create a master itinerary, or when a travel search engine like Kayak.com will

search more than 140 travel sites to find the cheapest fares?

Nishi SethMayur Vihar Ph-1, Pratap Nagar

Reverse the chargesWorrying about the cost of long-distance telephone calls is a thing of the past, because most mobile phone plans offer free

long-distance calling. And with Skype, you can make free video calls so that you can see as well as hear who you’re

talking to.

Shop at a bookstoreYes, we love bookstores, but they’re an

endangered species. It’s just so much easier and cheaper to buy books online or to

download eBooks.

Place a classified adThe newspaper classifieds used to be the place to go to find a

job, rent an apartment or sell your car. Not anymore. The classified ads, like so many other things, have gone online.

Sites such as Craigslist have turned the Internet into a global swap meet.

Buy event tickets in person or over the phone

Remember when buying concert or theater tickets meant standing in line at the box office or spending nerve-wracking

minutes (or longer) on hold waiting to find out if you could still get good seats? Those days are gone now that you can purchase

tickets online and check the available seating before you buy.

Work at the office every dayPeople used to go to the same office every morning, sit at the

same desk all day long, and then go home. They had no choice; that’s where the work was. With today’s mobile

technology and widespread broadband service, your work can follow you wherever you choose to go.

Promila SaxenaMayur Vihar Ph-1, Pratap NagarDelhi, 4:25 pm

Use the phone to check the time“At the tone, the time will be . . .” Remember when you used to have

to make a telephone call and listen to a recorded message if you wanted the correct time? Many of us still use our phones to check the time, but not by making a call. We just turn on our phones and the correct time is displayed, no matter where we are in the world.

Kanika MishraMayur Vihar Ph-1, Pratap Nagar

Carry change for pay phonesThere used to be pay phones every few blocks, and if your car broke down or you needed to call home to say you were running late, you

needed to have some change so you could make a call. Mobile phones made pay phones and telephone booths obsolete. So much

so that the memory of those days seems a little bizarre.

Aditya VermaMayur Vihar Ph-1, Pratap NagarDelhi, 10:15 am

Use an eraserSpelling errors, grammatical mistakes and typos used to be a much bigger problem than they are today. Mistakes made in pencil or pen

required an eraser, some elbow grease, and some fervent prayer that you wouldn’t tear the paper. Typing errors could also be tackled with an eraser, but eventually someone invented correction fluids, such as Wite-

Out, which made the job easier. Today, most such errors can be fixed with a click and a keystroke.

Print photos and put them in an albumFamily and vacation photos may never go out of style, but how

we organize and display them has changed dramatically in recent years. Most of our photos are digital, not on film. And although

we may still print a few photos for framing, our albums are more likely to be online or in the cloud.

Watch television programs when they are broadcast

Just as mobile technology broke the invisible chain that tethered us to our desks, a host of new media and entertainment technologies

have ended the tyranny of television scheduling. We can now record our favorite television programs and view them at a more

convenient time or watch them on demand on our home TVs, personal computers, tablets or even our phones.
