The Next New Thing
I think a new type of new media that could be invented some time soon would be cross between Youtube and Facebook. I think that this type of new media could be really interesting. Especially if combined with the upcoming virtual reality technology. People could upload live videos of what they are doing, for example, I can record a video of myself cliff jumping in California during vacation and share to my Facebook. With virtual reality technology, my friends on Facebook could view my uploaded video and experience it with their headset. This could also be combined with GoPro, since GoPros are great for recording active videos.

Hi Stephanie, this seems like a good idea. I think it'll be fun to actually live the experience of others rather than just see/hear it. Although I highly doubt there will be a technology crossing between Facebook, Youtube, and Gopro anytime soon, it's definitely likely that something related to what you said about virtual reality might exist within Facebook since they currently own the Occulus Rift company.
ReplyDeleteStephanie this sounds neat! I think it's always good to create platforms that feed a variety of our needs. That way it'll cancel out the competition and bring all the users. I prefer social media sites that make communication easy and fun, and your idea sounds like that.
