July 10th, and it 'll continue fo r three m ore weeks so make sure you see it today
o therw ise it ’ll probably have finished by the tim e you th in k about com ing back!
The fin a l day of the exhibition is 31st July. The m ost interesting part of this section
of the m useum is about the Inte rn e t of the future. As you w alk around you’ll see
som e large 3D touch screens w hich show how w e 'll probably be using com puters
in about five years. These screens are de finite ly the best part of the display and
som ething you m ust see.
Moving on to the third floor, the exhibition here is a ll about com m unicating via
the Internet and it's called Social N etw orking. This exhibition is open throughout
August from 1st to 30th. There is a fascinating part of the exhibition which is really
w orth seeing as it compares m obile phone and Internet usage and shows how
w e 'll be using social netw orking in the future. According to some scientists, by the
m iddle of this century we w ill have been participating in com m unication through
social netw orking so much that m obile phones w ill have become obsolete! Make
sure you take a look at the w orld digital map which shows this visually, as it's quite
amazing.
The fin a l exhibition is opening on the fou rth flo o r and is dedicated to s m a ll hand
held devices that companies w ill have introduced into our shops by the end of
next year. In fact you may have already seen some of them being advertised on TV.
The name of this section is 'Portable Devices of the 21st Century' and it ’s starting
to m o rro w on July 22nd and w ill be open u n til August 20th. This part of the m useum
is about sixth sense technology. This technology w ill have been included in a ll
portable devices like m obile phones and m usic players w ithin three years or so.
It also shows us examples of sate llite tracking systems which we w ill be using to
help us plan our daily lives. These two sections are fascinating and I recomm end
you spend some tim e viewing both.
So, let's sta rt the tour. If you could a ll fo llo w me...
