What is Technological Development?
Growth is both necessary and essential in our ever-changing world. It is a driving force in the way that we live and knows no boundaries.
The iPhone 14 was released recently, and specific models have a new trademark called Dynamic Island. It's an interactive feature that allows you to see notifications and alerts. When the first iPhone was launched in 2007, I doubt that they decided that that would be their final product. Over the last 15 years and through supply and demand, Apple has been able to make "an accurate assessment of what’s being asked, including the time and resources required and any issues or concerns" Stone, M. (2014). In Own your education!: A student's guide to greater success in school (and life). essay, Pearson Education. Great ideas do not happen overnight and take time.
FaceTime was introduced in 2013 and drastically changed the way that people could communicate with each other. In 2018, Group FaceTime came into play and played a huge role during peak COVID-19, allowing people to feel close while in the comforts of their own homes. Although chatting with one person is great, being able to see more than one person is a virtual party. Martin Wolske states that with certain design motivations, what "may have been happening that they perhaps wanted to happen more through
creation of this new/improved/remixed tool?" Wolske, M. (2020). A person-centered guide to demystifying technology. https://doi.org/10.21900/wd.7
Do we know what the next iPhone 15 will feature? Probably not. Is Apple all ears and taking everything into consideration when it comes to what the audience wants and needs? I wouldn't doubt it.
Hi Christine! Every day we get to see new technologies. We, humans, are so intelligent we have these unlimited ideas and need them to make our job easy.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how Apple products have developed over the course of the years and I agree, there is no stopping them from developing new technology or making their products better. I was excited when the updated iOS was able to allow group facetime! Even though there are other platforms you can use to do that like Zoom. It's just more convenient since we can use our phones with a simple click of a button.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog Christine! Everyday technology is developed and this is good for people to use it.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'm always excited about how apple develops its products. I'm a fan. Their making technology easier to use. Especially for older people like my parents. It's very accessible for us to talk to each other even though we're miles away.
