Next New Media

I think the next new media will involve some of the newer technologies that have not yet been integrated into the media scope. Augmented reality has already been incorporated into some new media applications and I think there will be a wave of augmented ingrained apps in the near future. The next new media I would love to see and also expect to see is a real estate app like StreetEasy or Zillow integrating augmented reality.

In the article,  The New Math of Mashups from The New Yorker Magazine, we see an example of a creative using new media to mix two seemingly unrelated songs into one that is fun to listen to and also very creative. Music has been radically changed with the arrival of new media, in fact there is even a brand new genre that was born from this technology called electric dance music (EDM). EDM has quickly taken over the youth and has created a multi billion dollar business for itself because of people who are creative enough to make music with nothing but their computers. Some of the best EDM artists record real life sounds and mix them in with electronic notes that creates some of the most unique songs anyone could ever imagine. Music is a huge industry that has been impacted heavy by new ...
