The Next New Thing


A new type of new media that I am thinking of will replace the need for cell phones and tablets. This technology will allow us to project a virtual screen right in front of our eyes and be able to access the internet as well as other applications. For example, we could see and add friends to Facebook by just looking at them. We could also get directions to places while we were en route to the target without having to lift a finger. This new media will allow people to connect with each other in a unique way that has never been done before. The sharing of information will become almost instantaneous, and we will have access to the entire world right before our eyes. This new media will allow for people to be linked together and for a quicker and easier experience as an alternative to physical input, that is on phones and tablets.

  1. Hey Vincent,

    This sounds very interesting and could absolutely be a reality in the future. I know that Google has come out with something called "Project Glasses." These are glasses you wear that project the internet on the lenses. Then to go backwards in a webpage, you tilt your head to the left. To go forwards, you tilt your head to the right, etc. The glasses also allow you to schedule meetings, take pictures, get directions, place audio and video calls, etc.

    Of course this is just a prototype, but it might be closer than we all think!

  2. This sort of reminds me of an augmented reality. It would be pretty interesting to have something like this implemented in real life.

  3. This sounds too good to be true! Haha! Seeing a stranger and adding them on Facebook from the power of the eye? Creepy! No, but I would love to see this come to existence. Life would be interesting.

  4. Today anything is possible, I'm sure that some companies are working on it. I can't wait to get rid of from my heavy stuff and bring some thing new to do that my actual stuff does now. kind of interesting the new idea.
