Creativity and New Media

I'd have to say the closest thing to a "second life" that I've created is my Bitmoji. But to be honest, I LOVE my Bitmoji! My avatar really does resemble me and it's so easy to bring it to "life" when I use Snapchat or message my friends. There's pretty much a Bitmoji design to match everything I'm feeling. Snapchat recently added a "Snap map" and my Bitmoji shows my friends where I am. This is brings the Bitmoji game to a whole new level.

    Hi Val,

    Bitmojis are the best! I remember when AOL has characters similar to them, but these are so much better. Can you believe that you can just send them basically anywhere now? It's practically a virtual life, but without the features of actual second-life gaming. GPS with yourself!

    Best,
    Anh

Blog: Next New

The next new media I would like to see is a technology, sort of like headphones, that allow users to hear any language as their own language. Basically, if someone is speaking to me in Spanish, I would hear them in English as long as I'm wearing the headphones. I want to do a lot of traveling after college, so a device like this would be a great form of new media. This is a technology that would allow me to communicate with anyone, anywhere. Another thing I would like to see is a brand new Apple watch that literally does it all. I'd like to see the Apple watch have capabilities that no one would ever imagine. How great would it be if our Apple watch could track our calorie intake without us entering it in on our phone? Or how convenient would it be if it tracked weight without having to ever step on a scale? I think the Apple watch is very advanced in the market of fitness tracking, but in the future I hope to see it hold these capabilities that don't currently exist.
