Mediascape in 5 years and in 15 years.

I think that in 5 years there will be new ways to see movies or continued technology in advancing media.  I think phones will get more and more advance and can do more things.  An example would probably be advancement in phone graphics and interface.  There will probably be sleeker and more modern, touch-based phones then there are now.  Even now, games are moving into the 3D or immersive experience with the anouncement and releases of the Kinect for xbox 360 or the 3DS. Now, even though there will probably be advancements and improvements on the technology we have nowadays, I don't think technology will keep moving forward as fast as it has in the past decade.  There's always a limitation to the technology in media that we use and even trying to improve that could take a longer time than just 5 years.

In 15 years, well, I think there will be new technology we haven't seen before.  There could be new variations of technology and how media will be presented in 15 years.  That's a long time away from now, and maybe the technologic slowdown of right now will be past by in 15 years.  I can't really imagine what will be produced in 15 years time.  I would guess that people will be more immersed in technology even more so than they are today.  Things will probably become smaller or larger than they were before and also work faster, too.  What we thoguht might be silly or impossible at the moment, but in 15 years I could see the movement of immersive media and technology to be more prominent and popular than it is right now.

In 50 years, I think the mediascape will be so broad that I really can't fathom what it would be like.  Things will probably be so different from now that I'll probably be amazed at how far we've come in advancements.  There could be holographic immersive media, where you're actually in the scenario.  I think movies will be more immersive in 50 years, and phones will just be turned into small ear buds.  Everything will probably be very different than from it is now.  TV might become something that can be carried around with you or maybe video games will go beyond 3D in some sort of way.
