The Next New Thing

A new type of new media that should exist would be virtual traveling. Traveling is expensive and tedious for many people. There are a lot of planning involved when someone is looking to go travel. They have to worry about accommodations, transportation, currency, safety, and more. It is a painful process and many people go through because being able to travel is probably the one thing that will make you rich as a person. The things you see, experience, and feel is just so different when you're actually at that place versus watching a documentary on it. With virtual traveling, you can do just that. Virtual Traveling takes the painful process of having to plan everything and all the worries that comes with traveling. With a console that connects your brainwaves and a device that will allow you to view, experience, and go wherever you want to. It can also stimulate your brain so that you will be able to feel and connect with others, giving it the true real life experience you get when traveling. You would be able to experience the culture and the people's day to day life all in the comfort of your own home. Unfortunately, it would be hard to stimulate taste and smell but I'm sure with technological advances, it wouldn't take long before someone else invents a way to stimulate taste and smell so users of virtual traveling will be able to get the full experience of traveling the world at a low cost and in the comfort of their own homes.
