Will 5G service revolutionize the future?
In today's world, we can not survive without our phones. It is a simple fact. We use them constantly to stay in the loop through texting, phone calls, Snapchat, Facetime, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram; and those are only the basics that everyone uses. Even people of an older generation are getting on the bandwagon of smartphones so they can stay in the loop through social media with their children and grandchildren. All of this revolves around our ability to use our phones and the speed that they can pull up the information that you are seeking, whether it be text messages, emails, or social media. We want it fast and we want it now. This comes with having fast internet speeds with our cell phone provider.
According to WirelessWeek, 82% of the cellphone market is smartphones. The highest saturation is between the ages of 18-24, however, the fastest grown age group is 55+; which ties into what I said earlier about the older generation getting into the loop. As these numbers continue to grow, there is interest in a whole new area of smartphone usage, 5G. This means that content can be downloaded at 10 gigabytes per second, versus the 5-12 megabytes of 4G service. This 5G service is the newest upcoming thing when it comes to global telecommunication standards. This is the next phase.
With the advancement of moving the world to 5G communication, we allow ourselves to not only have communication between people, but with this advancement, we move closer to device-to-device connectivity throughout the connected home, machine-to-machine, industrial and automotive markets, these new and exciting applications are bringing profound advancements in deep learning, artificial intelligence and "ambient awareness." This will change the world as we know it today, for sure.
As far as how social media relates to this, it will revolutionize it. On things like Facebook, we will have the ability to scroll through content faster because it will be loading faster. In return of that, we will be able to stream more content, faster, meaning that we will be seeing more content. I feel that if we have the ability to see more content, it could go one of two ways. It could go in more of a positive way resulting in people on social media less. I think this could reduce the amount that people rely on social media content. On the other hand, it could have an extremely negative effect. It could result in people binge-watching shows more, constantly on apps like Snapchat because the load time would be faster and texting would be at an all new rate.
Overall, it will have an effect. I personally think society will lean more towards the negative side but have hopes that it will lead to a more positive approach.
