2. Social Interaction
Social interaction is the manner in
which people talk to and interact with
one another. It is dependent upon the
societal structure in which the
communications occur.

3. Commucation in the past
Carrier pigeon
Telegraph
Letters or
postcards
Fax
Telephone

4. Communication in the past
Communication has experienced a dramatic change in the last few
years. This process is still happening nowadays at an ever increasing
speed.
• Originally we used carrier pigeons, now the entire world is connected
by the internet.
• Past, slow and expensive. Present, quick and efficient.
• Communication technologies create a huge impact on our daily lives.

7. Effects of technology in communication
 Access to information
 Internationalization
 Relations worldwide (long-
distance relationships, friends
and family)
 Shopping from home
 Working from home
 Meeting new people
× Less interactions with
people around us
× Technological
dependence
POSITIVE NEGATIVE

8. Communication in 10 years

9. Wearable technology
The Cicret Bracelet lets you have your pone in
your skin.
Google Glass displayed information in a smartphone-like
hands-free format. You can communicate with the
Internet via natural language voice commands.
Wearable technology will help to get more information in real time, to share your health
information with your doctor, keep in touch with others…

10. Virtual reality
Virtual reality combines physical
elements and virtual ones, creating
a real-world environment whose
elements are augmented. This will
allow people to travel together
without leaving their homes for
exemple.

11. Social interaction within 10 years…
• New ways of communication (social media, new devices…)
• More relations, easier to keep in touch
• Worldwide conections
• Working from home, so they will be
able to spend more time with family
• More working possibilities abroad
• Globalization: the increasing amount
of relationships will make people know
other cultures…

12. Social interaction within 10 years…
• Increasing dependence on technology
• Preference for social media instead of face to face interactions
• GPS location: we will be able to know where our friends are in real
time thanks to an app
• Loss of privacy

13. Social interactions within 10 years…
• Virtual classrooms
• Holograms instead of video conferences in
business
• A device that makes us understand everything
other people are saying in different languages
• The development in means of
transport will as well improve
social interactions, since we will
be able to travel faster and visit
our family or friends more often

14. Thank you!
