UNIT 9
Imagine you are scheduled
for a surgery. However, your
doctor will not be physically
present on that day so
instead a “licensed” robot
doctor will perform the
surgery. Will you entrust your
life to a robot rather than a
realdoctor?
In China, a robot named ‘Xiao Yi’ passed the
National Medical Licensing Examination with
flying colors.
Some predict that robots will take over the jobs
of people.
However, some forms of technology cannot
replace humans because we are more capable of
empathic thinking and contemplative reasoning.
Current and Future
Trends of
Media and Information
Current Trends of
Technological advancements come in many forms.
Some emerging technologies and trends include:
• Haptic technology,
• Contextual awareness,
• Voice and tone recognition
• Intelligent routing to devices,
• Eye tracking technology,
• Internet glasses.
Haptic technology
 Requires realistic visual touching to perform
a specific function. An example of early
haptic technology is the vibration of your cell
phone when someone is calling you.
 Also, Morse code modulated haptics enable
the deaf-blind to access the web.
Contextual awareness
 Refers to a device system's ability to collect
information based on the user's environment
combined with algorithmic preferences.
 Smartphones also have a feature where a
user enters only a few letters, and an accurate
contact selection is flashed on-screen.
Voice and tone recognition
 The ability of devices to identify a particular
person. Speech recognition only detects spoken
words.
 This feature is helpful for biometrics and
security purposes.
 Some banks already offer voice ID
authentication services.
Intelligent routing to devices
 Collects information on a certain location,
particularly about an issue.
 For example, drivers using navigation apps can
take a photo of a specific area to warn other
drivers about a road block, a police officer in sight,
or a road accident. In turn, other drivers with the
same app can be notified with these reports.
Eye tracking technology
 Measures eye activity. Applications of such
technology are evident in the medical,
marketing, and education industry.
 Tobii Pro Glasses are used for research to
assess visual reading strategies, and understand
human behavior. Billboards can also install eye-
tracking devices to measure its effectiveness.
Internet glasses
 Wearable computer glasses that can
display information similar to a
smartphone.
 Some examples include Google Glass
and Oculus Rift.
Internet glasses
Technology changed the lives of people; how they
learn, live, and work.
For example, smartphone apps help users grow their
knowledge, enhance their productivity, and elevate
entertainment.
People should adapt to changes to remain relevant.
Technology like these may be a boon or
bane. In general, you must be responsible
for your devices, and use them wisely.
MOOC- Massive Open
Online Course
Learning is not contained in the four walls of the
classroom.
Another way to learn is to enroll in a Massive Open
Online Course or MOOC.
All you need is your cellphone or a computer, a decent
internet connection, and the motivation to learn.
MOOC
 Is an interactive model for delivering
content to interested users online.
 To enroll in a MOOC, you must first
register before joining a class. Most
MOOCs are free, while others charge a
fee.
You can scroll through different topics ranging
from areas of personal interests or several
disciplines such as engineering, languages,
mathematics, among others.
Each of the letter in the acronym MOOC means
something.
Massive
 This means that many people are welcome
to join MOOCs.
 The course does not have a limit on the
number of learners who wish to join as
long as they register before the given
deadline or before the start of the courses.
Open
 This means anyone can join MOOCs
regardless of academic achievement,
industry experience, or any other factors.
 As long as you can understand the medium
of instruction, you can join one.
Online
 This means you are required to have a good
internet connection to access an MOOC.
 You can also collaborate with other learners
through online discussion boards or build an
electronic portfolio (or e-portfolio) to share
resources.
 Videos and documents are also posted online.
Courses
 This refers to the various disciplines or
subjects available.
 Content providers offer a list of courses
depending on your interest. You can enroll
in any class from “Basics of Cost
Accounting” to “Programming Languages.”
The advantages of MOOC in education are the
following:
1. Scalability
2. Optimal resource utilization
3. Self-paced
4. Removal of other constraints
Scalability
 Usually,
a single classroom accepts a
maximum of 45 students in one class.
 Ifa teacher or instructor uses an MOOC,
he/she can allow a larger number of
students to join the class, including those
who are not enrolled in schools yet.
Optimal resource utilization
 You have the opportunity to be taught
by famous personalities and respected
educators known in their industry.
Self-paced
 Learning in the MOOCs depend on the learner’s
response, not all students learn the same way at the
same time.
 However, there are other MOOCs that are also
instructor-paced which means courses run through a
specified schedule.
 Be sure that you read up on the MOOCs schedule
before signing up for a class.
Removal of other constraints
 Some people cannot go to learning institutions because
of their busy work schedule so they opt to join MOOCs.
 Some cannot afford the hefty tuition offered by
universities for continuing professional development, so
enrolling in an MOOC is the more affordable alternative.
 Additionally, you will have the opportunity to link or
connect with other instructors and learners around the
globe to share ideas and resources.
Most MOOCs offer an MOOC certificate or badge
upon completion.
Universities such as Stanford, Harvard, and

Princeton tie up with non-profit and commercial
providers like edX, Coursera, and NovoEd.
MOOCs are not limited to the education industry because
other institutional partners such as Google, Microsoft, and
World Health Organization (WHO) also provide such services.
The textbook publishing industry is not limited to printing

books nowadays. They are also investing in software's that
turns textbooks into MOOCs.
The teaching-learning process is not only
limited to lectures and discussions
nowadays.
Teachers and instructors have the option to
use MOOCs to deliver content to students.
Future Trends of
Inventions once started as someone’s brainchild.
If you have an idea on your head and you wish to

concretize it, you must first have a prototype.
Prototype
 It
is a physical representation similar to a
model.
 Youmust also know how to develop and
manufacture your prototype.
According to Cherie Nelson, there are four steps to build
your product’s first prototype.
1. Create a concept sketch

2. Develop a virtual prototype
3. Build a physical prototype
4. Locate a manufacturer
1. Create a concept sketch
 Visualize. Draw your ideas on a piece of
paper.
 You may also use a drawing software
 however, it is still best to put your ideas
on paper.
2. Develop a virtual prototype
 You can use digital design tools like
AutoCAD.
 Create 2D and 3D renderings of your design.
 A virtual sketch gives you an idea on how
your prototype will look like once it is
physically built.
3. Build a physical prototype
 You can try to build one or seek a professional
prototype designer.
 Your prototype requires evaluation and
refinement. Sometimes, this is the longest
phase because you need to modify and make
multiple adjustments before manufacturing it.
4. Locate a manufacturer
 The last step is to locate a manufacturer.
 This is also the time to apply for a patent.
 A patent is an exclusive right granted for a
product, process, or an improvement of a product
or process which is new, inventive, and useful.
 Be financially wise when looking for a
manufacturer
QUIZ
1. Define what is Sim Registration Law and are you in
favor with it? What are the possible effects of
implementing it. (not less than 50 words)
2. How is being media and information literate
helpful in your future life? (not less than 50 words)
• Smartphones and computers started as prototypes before they
become a reality. Who knows? Your idea might be the next big
thing!
• AutoCAD is an example of digital design tools one can use to

develop a virtual prototype.
• An alternative to expensive production is to find manufacturers

that offer free or cheap 3D printing services.
The four steps in building a prototype is to create a
concept sketch, develop a virtual prototype, build a
physical prototype, locate a manufacturer and apply for
a patent.
One can achieve creative and critical thinking skills if
he/she can identify a solution to a given problem using
the resources available to him/her.
