How do you imagine social interaction within 10 years, taking into consideration the impact of

technology on human relations? Social interaction has already changed, will it change again?

Be connected to the internet in everywhere and recent companies had changed everything

And the reason is because we have any information…

AT ANY TIME

Now new devices and companies are coming…

- Oculus Rift- Meta

(spaceglasses)- And many more…

In this near future, we will not just have 1 device connected to the internet with us all the time

We will be fully connected to the internet and the most revolutionary way, it will be in the VISUAL way

WearableNew Apps and

Companies

What will these new devices and apps be able to do?

- MajorityA step further, but with no many changes about the way we communicate

- Head-mounted displays

By having a visual interaction the possibilities are unlimited

We will not talk with our “screen” anymore

Head-mounted Displays

1º- No meet with friends to have fun

2º- Pay less attention to the people around us

3º- Solve work or personal problems without meeting

4º- Real-time conversation between physical and non-physical people at the

same time

In summary: Technology makes distance have no sense, and despite humans needs to be in groups we can create them

virtually

Things that can be different

Socialization & Groups

More groups, more impersonal

Bigger groups, less friends

Technology is impersonal. Less things happen into a real face to face. Everything happen in our virtual groups and by the time we meet everything have been already said. This tendency will grow especially with visual interaction. Time for face to face conversation will decrease more.

Technology connects people. This provide us the chance to meet more people. Friendships can be faster and at the same time more impersonal because we hardly interact with them directly, by voice or eye contact.Visual interaction may solve this problem by making this relations more personal

What is happening now it will be just increased

Socialization & Education

Online courses, Masters online, Universities…we can interact with teachers and classmates without being (physically) with them

Will that happen at primary school level?How we interact with others it is something we may born with it, but I

believe it also needs to be developed. If we get used to talk through machines in an early age it will be definitely change our future social

interaction

The important role of education on social interaction

The more things we can do with technology the more time we spend with it
