Hey all so I saw this video on youtube and though OLED technology has been out for a while this was the 2013 Samsung CES Keynote speech. The fact that they have working prototypes is pretty awesome and to think that it will be out within the next year or so is exciting. I thought this applies to the Filter Bubble because with technology growing so fast will this just increase the bubble we already live in?
Thoughts?
OLED technology is definitely an amazing innovation. We went from CRT, LCD, LED and now OLED. While we keep improving the ways we watch television, I don’t believe it will increase our filter bubble in the short run, but, maybe in the long run. Its like with old CRT televisions that weighed 100 lbs. Those things were still around until the early 2000’s when LCDS started to replace them. Every piece of technology has an expiration date on it, for example with CRTS, they will eventually be faded and someting new will replace it. Eventually all of us will have OLED televisions and smartphones in our filter bubble, its just how the lifespan of all technology works. It begins to feel like rather than us trying to personalize our filters, we just happen to stumble upon them (like the CRT and LCD example) due to the nature of the lifespan of technology.
