Next New

We currently live in an exciting ever changing technological revolution. It's almost overwhelming to think of the next new thing in new media , because more likely than not it already exits. Usually when one thinks of something new in new media it's an extension of something that already exists that needs improvement. I would probably create a file sharing app that allows students of a given class share copies of chapters of their textbooks. I have spent many of times copying chapters of  multiple textbooks in the library, and after the semester was done it would go in the trash. This could help someone who cannot afford a textbook, and help the environment by saving trees. The user would have to search for the class, the book and download the images on their mobile devices.

  1. I think this would be a great idea and would definitely save a lot of students a good amount of money. I don't think the textbook companies would appreciate the file sharing app and I'm sure it would run into many copyright issues down the line.

  2. This is a great idea! It would save so much money for students and save paper which is good for the environment. I also feel like this would be good for the students grades because we are always on our phones and anything you can do on the go is beneficial to us!
