The Next New Thing

BLOG POST: THE NEXT NEW THING Suggest a new type of "new media" that doesn't currently exist. Describe it.

A new media that allows users to chat with others in a 4d virtual simulation. It would be just like real life but with the capablity to chat with other people around the globe. You could be having teatime with someone from England in one second, and hunting for lions with a resident of Africa in a virtual Africa safari the next. However, the downside of the idea is, would the realism be too much that it eliminates the need for people to go outside their homes and converse in real life?

  2. Don't worry Jennifer, nothing can substitute the real world experience. It's like watching a remake, you still want to see the original movie, at least to compare.
