5. Social Cognitive Theory
The social cognitive theory explains how people acquire and maintain
certain behavioral patterns, while also providing the basis for
intervention strategies. Evaluating behavioral change depends on the
factors environment, people and behavior. People had to adapt to the
change of computers, phones and cars. We started with pagers, then
came cell phones. We started with big bulky computers, now we have
flat screen computers, wireless keyboards. We started with cars that
had cassette players and now we have cars with built in Siri, gps, and
Bluetooth where you can communicate with people while driving
talking through your speaker system of your car. You adapt with what is
new and you behavior changes along with the technology change.
6. Social Learning Theory
Bandura’s Social Learning Theory posits that people learn from one
another, via observation, imitation, and modeling. The theory has
often been called a bridge between behaviorist and cognitive learning
theories because it encompasses attention, memory, and motivation.
You quickly learn about the technology as it changes over the years.
Phones, cars, and computers will always have humans attention. These
are daily necessities. You observe how these things work, you imitate
how to use them by being taught and observing others on how they use
these technologies. Your behavior changes as these forms of
technologies change. You become aware of how these technologies
work then adapt to the daily, monthly, or yearly changes of these
technologies. Cars, phones, and computers continue to change because
of technology so you learn from the people that create these inventions
and adapt to what is being created.
7. Social Information Process
Social information processing theory has been posited as a description
of how mental operations affect behavioral responding in social
situations. In contrast, social information processing theory is more
broadly concerned with all of the mental operations that are deployed
to generate a behavioral response during one’s own social interaction.
The mental operations that are considered include, but go well beyond,
the social understanding that is the topic of moral domain inquiry.
These operations include selective attention to social cues, attribution
of intent, generation of goals, accessing of behavioral scripts from
memory, decision making, and behavioral enactment. You must
process the new information within these new technologies that are
being invented to understand how things are changing. Cars, phones,
and computers are changing daily so you must learn how to socially
adapt with these interactions and understand the new changes.
8. The Future For Cell Phones
I remember back many years ago when we didn’t have cell phones to
communicate. We had house phones to talk to family members or
friends or we had to communicate with people in person. I got my first
cell phone in 2004 and it was a Nokia. The only thing I could do on the
phone was call people, send text messages, or play snake. Everyone that
had a Nokia phone remembers playing snake. I can only imagine what
cell phones will be like in the future with how much they have already
changed in recent years. I remember having cell phones that could only
text and call. The phones were so small and bulky. Some phones didn’t
even have cameras on them.
9. The Future For Cell Phones
I see cell phones increasing the technology of the camera and the
ability to charge your phone. You have to charge your phone with a
cable plugged into the wall. I see in the future that you will be able to
charge your phone with some sort of wireless charger. The camera on
the phones continues to improve and it could only get better. Here is
what you can imagine, you pull your phone out of your pocket and
unfold it like a napkin into a tablet. You press your finger on the screen,
and it unlocks. You switch to the camera app, and a spider-like array of
lenses shoot simultaneously to capture one giant photo.
10. The Future Computers
My first computer was one of the biggest, most bulky
computers that I can remember. It was an IBM. It took
forever to load up, we had dial up internet, and it was
slower than anything you could ever imagine. Now
computers load quick with the access of wireless
internet and the speed that is fast as lightning.
Everything is becoming wireless. We now have flat
screen computers, wireless keyboards, touch screen
computers , laptops, and Ipads.
11. The Future Computers
Some of the ways that computing is changing now are that
it is moving into the fabrics in our clothing and it’s moving
into our very bodies. We are now in the process of refining
prosthetics that not only help people reach for something
but in reaching, those prosthetics now send a message back
to the brain. The first prosthetics were able quite
miraculously to take a message from the brain and use it to
control the world. But imagine how astounding it is if that
prosthetic also tells the brain that it has grasped
something. That really changes the way we think of what it
means to be human, if our very brains are impacted by the
movement of a piece of metal at the edge of our hands.

13. The Future Cars
Do you remember when your car had a cassette player? Or a CD player?
Now you can use a auxiliary cord, Bluetooth, or Siri to play music. Now
currently new cars have a built in GPS system that will guide you wherever
you need to go and talk to you while you are driving. Cars will also allow
you to call people through your car system, no wires needed. You can use
your voice to tell the system in your car what you want to do with calling,
gps or music. Cars can now park themselves, tell you when you are
becoming too close to another car, prevent you from hitting another car,
tell you when someone is calling, and even read text messages to you while
you are driving. Newly invented cars even have a wireless charger for your
phones where you can sit your phone in a certain spot and it will charge
your phone for you. I like how things are wireless so that you do not have to
hold your phone and call people, or try to type text messages while driving
because you can talk to the system in your car and it will do it for you
instead of you taking your hands off of the wheel or take your attention off
of the road and cause more distraction.
14. The Future Cars
In current cars that we have now, we have to put our own gas in it. Cars
that are being invented today can be electronically charged and do not
require gas. I foresee cars pretty much being able to drive the car for
you with being told where you are going to communicating to the
system in your car. It is the most spectacular revolution. Tomorrow, cars
will be able to do without their drivers. “This development will be in
stages: we start without feet and then do without hands and eventually
without eyes,” says Pascal Brier. The next step? 100% autonomy.
Engineers are working to replace human eyes with a multitude of
cameras, sensors and lasers that will reproduce the environment in 3D
and allow the vehicle to make navigation decisions alone.
