Next New

I have two ideas for the future New Media. First one would work as a regular social media, but without real people, but instead there would different robots that can participate in specific subjects. They would be programmed to discuss politics, sports, TV shows, books, music etc. As a result, any user can add the desired robot to friends list and ask him questions, debate or simply talk about the subject in which this robot is specialized. It would be very convenient since robots will have broad knowledge in their specialization and unlike people will be available anytime. Robot’s intellect will be constantly developing by the contributions of its users in the way it happens in a Wiki, where anybody will be able to "teach" him something. 
Second idea of a future new media will be a platform with the news and articles that will be written in informal somewhat "urban and hiphop" way. The generation of young people develops new way of speaking, which becomes more popular and even Oxford English Dictionary has already added such words as "dope" "bling" and "stan". For that reason, in the near future, English language will change, as any language changes over time and even now English is not the same as it was 50 years ago. So that, at first this informal new media platform will represent a fun way to read about current events, but most likely such language will become popular and more commonly used. Finally, this platform will make a revolution in information production changing vocabulary and rules of the language in New Media.

  1. Robots participating in human interaction and conversations sounds like an amazing advance!But my concern is will this create a divide between human beings? As is, people are speaking through mobile devices, and socializing has been a disappearing act.

  2. I agree with you Lorena, the idea of robots participating in human interaction and conversations sounds like a scary idea. If robots start speaking in stead of human what would human do in the world? will they not interact with other people any more?
    The crazy thing is that this is where the future is going and your idea might actually come true in a few years.
