Entertainment Applications
Wireless technology can also
create great advances in the area of entertainment. By using this
technology, a movie theater can simply “dial up”
the feature movie of the night. The production house then sends the
theatre the signals and the movie plays. Gone are the days of heavy rolls
of film or digital tapes. All moves are produced to be shown wireless.
This can also help lower ticket prices. The technology will be so advanced
that the production houses will be able to lower ticket prices while earning
more money per film than they do today. This also eliminates scratchy film
or film reels that skip. Since the technology is all wireless and sent
through antennas and satellites, one can be assured of a successful movie watch
(Norr, 2002).
Imagine
a wireless home. . . . And I mean completely wireless. Not a cord in site.
This is possible using wireless technology. When systems are created, it
will be possible to carry on everyday life without the fear of tripping on a
cord of worrying about power failure. By using wireless technology, all
systems are run on either antennas or satellites. Now, I am not just
aiming this conversation toward televisions, computer and telephones. I
mean everything. Imagine taking a mixer out of the cabinet in order to
make a cake and it automatically working. Or blow-drying your hair in the
morning without having to un
tangle
the cord. When the technology prevails, everything will work by
satellites. This will enable much greater ease of use of products.
One will not have to deal with the hassles that he or she is accustomed to
today. Simply buy the product and it works. Paying for this type of
service is more complicated. The need for electricity will be erased.
That too can be wireless. When this technology becomes a reality, a system
will have to be in place to measure the amount of time spent using the wireless
sources and individuals will have to pay accordingly. While this is many,
many years in the future, I do believe it will revolutionize the American home
as one knows it today.
