The Next New Thing

Currently, the hottest new technology is the 3D technology. Every movie and TV show try to make themselves as 3D as possible and at the same time with high definition. So, I start to image that there is one day when people can communicate with each other in 3D.

For example, people will use a watch as their cellphone. With one button away, we will call the person we want to call. If the person answers our phone, his / her 3D real time image will appear on the top of our watches (cellphone). Of course, our real time 3D image will also appear in others’ watches. Therefore, people will see our gesture and our emotion while we are talking on phone. In addition, blind people also will benefit from this phone feature, since they can use hand language for making a phone call.

Another 3D new media will be the Internet Network. I love doing online class, but sometimes people have to meet to get detail knowledge and information from professors. In this way, only few courses are able to present as an online mode. However, if we have the 3D class room, the problem will be solved and students and professors can meet together even at home. In this 3D class room network, student will open a 3D camera, and this 3D camera will capture the image of the student and show it to the professor in a room. Also, each student will see each other and are able to talk with each other because they are within the same network.  This new media will save a lot of time for students who have to travel from a far place to school.

Overall, new media is an amazing technology that increases people’s capability and efficiency. I believe all I think above will be achieved someday.
