New Next
New Media is evolving at a relentless pace, but what I have not seen too much of is New Media catered to the disabled. I think it would be helpful if there were new media technologies that can transcend the limitations of senses; in particular for the blind and the deaf. A device that can transmit information directly into a person's visual and auditory cortex would be awesome. Images are meant to be seen just as music is meant to be heard. It would be nice to include the disabled to the New Media revolution as well. The advantage to such technology is that it is not limited to the disabled. Such inventions would render screens and earbuds useless for regular people. We would be able to see images and hear noises broadcasted without the need of smartphones or such devices.

This new media sounds very interesting and awesome! How amazing would it be for the disabled to have the ability to receive any senses they unfortunately cannot receive. Like visual and auditory as you mentioned. It would be very nice to include the disabled into the new media as you mentioned. They shouldn't have to be excluded to things we are able to access.
ReplyDeleteYes i agree entirely. This is an absolutely fantastic idea. People with disabilities don't get to take advantage of new media, and it would be wonderful if there was a way for them to be able to
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea although they have made some improvement with helping people who are impaired there is definitely more that technology could do to improve pre existing condition in people, in order to make it easier. Or possibly and app could be a simple start.
