Next New

  I think the future of new media won't be brand new forms, but rather the deepening and consolidation of current new media mediums, platforms, and technology currently in place. I think wearable tech will see major leaps forward and become the vehicle to replace many handheld devices. There is a developing generation of consumers and creatives who are glued constantly to their devices and media, spending the majority, if not almost all, of their waking hours on their phones, laptops, or tablets. I think that as they take more and more leading roles in development, one of the core concerns will be increasing and improving ease of access. Already there are beta forms of tech that project your mobile technology onto your skin; a function that I think will be refined and promulgated in the next decade or so.
