Social Learning Theory:

This theory was made popular by Albert Bandura, it states that social

behavior is learned mainly from observing and imitating the actions of

other people.

Social Learning Theory:

This theory is similar to younger kids wanting to use/ get the most

recent technologies because they see the older generation using it.

1. Iphone 6s

2. Apple Watch

3. Samsung S7

Media Dependency Theory

systematic approach to the study of the effects of mass media on

audiences and of the interactions between media, audiences, and social

systems. 

Media Dependency Theory

People rely heavily on the media for information about certain

situations. One example of this is ISIS, people go online or even use

apps to get their updates about what is happening because most

people aren’t actually there.

Social Information Processing Theory

The social information processing theory is an interpersonal

communication theory and media studies theory developed by Joseph

Walther. Explains how online relationships are formed.

Social Information Processing Theory

Tells how relationships would have never formed if there was not

advanced technology due to geographical location.

1. Farmers Only

2. Biker Kiss

3. Sea Captain Date

Conclusion

Based on the three theories that I have talked about in the previous

slides, I’ve come to the conclusion that some technologies will continue

to thrive. The technologies that I feel that will thrive and become more

advanced are; apple products, online dating, smart TVs, apps, and the

internet. While others will die out such as landline phones and normal

TV.
