It is dangerous to make predictions for the future of media.
In 1913, Lee DeForest sold the stock of his Radio Telephone Company by making a prediction that, “It would be possible to transmit the human voice across the Atlantic before many years".
In 1946, Darryl Zanuck predicted, “Television won’t be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night”.
Boy were they wrong.
The question now is, is the internet the new media landscape for the future or will it be something completely new? We need not be naive to the new innovations and break through inventions that may spark a completely new way of producing and consuming media.
It is important to learn the basic foundations of technologies of the media in which new technologies will be based off of because only new innovations and inventions will tell where the media will be in the future.
The Leading Media Technologies or
The Basis of New Technologies are as follows:
-Satellite
-Fiber Optics
-Digital Coding
-Microprocessor
-Wireless
