The Next New Thing
The definition of new media originates from the evolution of old media in coherence with the Internet and social media. In the future, new media will be redefined by technological advancements yet to be revealed. I feel that the new focus is on individualistic needs such as social networking and personal entertainment. Although Facebook and Twitter are still popular websites, I feel like users are tiring from countless updates and statuses from family, friends, and news networks. I believe people want more for their intention spans such as discovering something new from Pinterest or Stumbleupon. These websites have been around for a while now, but their audiences have expanded since then with smart systems that customize and recommend pages or content to our tastes/preferences. Overall, I think the next new thing with new media is having information "discovered for you", not necessarily you searching.

I like your idea that information is already there for me instead of searching them. :)
ReplyDeleteThat would make sense. It would work almost like data mining technique but this time there is no third party that will use your data for its own benefit. This time it will be you who will get the right information you were looking for.
