Next New Media

A new media that I would suggest is merging all of the social media apps/ sites onto one app. Although it seems unrealistic considering it would have to hold a lot of data from different social media sites it would be cool. The app/ site would feature popular social media such as: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter. Users would be able to access all of those social media accounts by going on one centralized app. I think this app would be convenient and also provide an incentive for others to sign up for other social media sites that are on the centralized app.

But Wikipedia has solved this problem by having a "new feature, called "flagged revisions," will require that an experienced volunteer editor for Wikipedia sign off on any change made by the public before it can go live." (Cohen). This addition to the requirements of editing a certain Wikipedia page has increased the credibility Wikipedia pa

New media technology allows people to share their creative ideas and thoughts easily and conveniently with others. " Technology companies have been the most active in relying on others to innovate for them. This is in large part because the Internet lets people exchange ideas easily and rapidly with large groups, and computing tools let people design new products cheaply." (Miller). Many companies now are using their audience and users to make changes or improve their products. With all of the new technology around us, it has become very convenient to share one's ideas and build on it with the feedback from others. " And some big, nontechnology companies are embracing user-generated innovation.  Ford Motor  noticed that people were modifying Sync, its voice-activated system for playing  music  and getting directions. Ford has invited university students to come up with new features for the in-car system." (Miller). Companies are noticing how beneficial user inte
