New media involves the 5 c's: Communication, Collaboration, Community, Creativity, and Convergence. The next new media development will involve all five of those. I imagine a social media for musicians. People could select their instruments, and be partnered up with other users who they want to play with. For example someone playing the saxophone could play with another saxophone player and from a duet. Or a guitar player could be looking for drummer and a bassist to form a rock band with. Users would plug their instruments into the computer and listen to each other playing through their headphones. They could also share a live video of them playing. This new media would connect musicians around the world. Users could play with complete strangers or play with their band members if they couldn't meet up in one location.
This new media would create a community of musicians. Who would converge together and collaborate on creating music together. This form of new media would change how musicians communicate and practice with each other.

It seems like a great way to avoid consuming immoderate flow of irrelevant information normally provided by the present media, but instead solely focus on one's interests and competence. I think, this media will certainly create more opportunities for any professionals, not only musicians, to improve their skills by representing all 5 c"s together in one place.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! The idea has a purpose which is great and I think social media dresses the music industry and artists who are up and coming. The fact you mention the 5 C’s is also great and I think its a great foundation when setting up this idea.
