A Look into the Future

Video is changing the way we play games, interact, learn and even exercise and is constantly enriching our learning and communication experience. Bessie Wang, a summer intern on Cisco's Corporate Communications team, offers her perspective on video and the future.

Education

Every student learns differently. Video can enhance how knowledge is shared in the classroom, whether it is delivering a more visual lecture or providing greater access to instructors. As students are early technology adopters, educational institutions have an opportunity to harness this to enhance, student connection, interactions and enrich the student’s experience.

Fitness

Convenience is the main benefit that gyms can provide to their customers through video. Instead of having instructors at each individual club branch, gyms can provide a greater amount of classes and work out opportunities through virtual trainers. For example, if an instructor is hosting a lesson in California at 7 PM, a member at a sister gym in New York can log in and follow along. Through additional video screens at the gym, the instructor can interact with different states or even countries.

Healthcare

Video also can play a role in connecting various health care professionals, regardless of location  to discuss and diagnose the patient for the most accurate result. Having the capability of having real-time discussions with a specialist from the other side of the world can improve medical accuracy in diagnosing results.

Safety and security

Video is one of the most effective tools to communicate information to a large audience. The future of video can aid the communication structure of any large venue. Thinking past video for advertisement purposes, it can be utilized as a real-time safety and information generator for the guests.
