Module 2: Emerging Technology Tetrad
Internet TV
|
Enhances
This
technology allows for complete combination of TV and internet capabilities.
It includes wifi, blue ray disk player and live streaming
|
Obsoletes
This
technology takes away the need to attach the personal computer to the
television.
|
|
Retrieves/Rekindles
This
technology brings about the first time that Internet usage was able to be
seen on the television. The excitement of this technology is the same
excitement as that of the previous product.
|
Reverses
I
believe that the invention of a touch screen television will be the next
technology to replace this technology.

ReplyDeleteI posted my comment the first time, and the link was separated. Here is my comment again. Thank you.
Brandi,
I happen to view a video by Corning entitled: “A Day Made of Glass.” that explains the present and future of the touch screen television. I thought that the video takes us through the four stages of McLuhan’s Tetrad Concept. Take a look at the video and let me know what you think. You may need to copy the link in your browser.
