Next New Media

Technology has been changing rapidly throughout history and many new forms of new media are presented to us. With today's technology, we have to ability to choose what medium we use to communicate with other users.

I believe a new type of "new media" that will exist in the near future is a central artificial intelligence system that controls the creation and dissemination of information. This AI has to ability access anything in the virtual world.Users will no longer need to use a keyboard to type due to the AI's voice recognition technology. A user would simply interact with the AI regarding what they want to surf online. For example if you want to pull up Facebook, simply say "open Facebook" and the AI will recognize the user's voice to command it to open Facebook. Rather than webcam with your friends and family, the AI can project a live hologram of users you are connected with. Distant communications become more and more intimate. This feature is also useful for businesses that implement virtual conference meetings with their organization.

With a creation such as an AI, it will revolutionize technology and how we access new media. It will change the way we think and access to information will become 100 percent transparent.
