I never thought about what kind
of new type of new media I would like to try or to see on a market. I’m not
very familiar with current new media. But I think we already have a lot of
stuff to entertain ourselves, may be sometimes too much. I think new media
technology should seek other goals. For example, be more useful for people with
disabilities. To help them to be more independent, to be employed, to be happy.
For example, for visually impaired people could be created glasses or lenses or
something else which replicated the reality and helps them navigate, and helps
them to see the colors, to see the sun, to see the moon, to see other things
which they not able to see. May be this technology somehow could be connected
to the brains. I know that scientists working on it, but I think their progress
much slower than for example Apple progress. And it is way more expensive than Apple
watch. I’m sure it will happen at certain point of time, but the sooner the
better.
Your idea regarding new media is very interesting and something we will all love to see to come to life.
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea of helping people with disabilities. The idea with helping the visually impaired sounds really cool and interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi Evgeniya,
ReplyDeleteI think it's really important that you brought up the idea that we have too much to entertain ourselves already and that our focus must shift. I think a lot of us can agree but won't do much to change that fact. It's a really great idea to create a sort of way for the visually impaired to experience life as though they weren't. Hope we can figure this out sooner than later!
