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.
There are many cons to new media and media in general but one of the major cons would be the privacy issues that people have to face when using these types of medias. Like for example, instagram allows you to make your photos private but others may still be able to see through your photos by looking through someone else's phone. On new media, you are never really secure in terms of privacy because the world wide web is public for everyone. Having websites like google and yahoo allow people to search your profile up if you have made a facebook or instagram or anything that is related to your name. New media doesn't allow for much privacy and that is one of the downsides of new media. It makes everything available for the public to see.
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.
