After thinking for a while, a new type of media would be pretty hard to come up with. If it were that easy and possible, I would be a millionaire right now. But, a new type of media that does not exist right now is some sort of virtual type of communication. Whereas people would communicate through voice or video online but if there was some sort of way to communicate through an online virtual where you are programmatically there where it seems real. Sort of like virtual reality, being able to communicate with someone from across the world in just seconds.
If I were to be recently hired by Baruch College to be apart of the new media team, some of the advice I would give is to use every single type of social media out there. Even the ones that are not as popular. Then give people incentives to share and promote the college. For example, a voucher for a free lunch or something similar to that sort so that more people will be inclined to help promote Baruch College. Another thing I would do is help the college utilize new media to help make the college student's lives easier. Things that are dedicated specifically to things in relevance to assist them. For example, if they wanted to buy or sell textbooks, help use new media to develop a tool to make it easier to assist the student in buying or selling textbooks.
I agree with you. I always think that new media is hard to come up with but then someone always ends up coming out with something I never knew I needed and my mind is blown. Ideas seem far fetched until someone makes it a reality. You sound like you have a good idea on your hands. Be the change you wish to see in the world. -Gandhi.
