If I were to suggest a new type of new media it would be an audio translator application for smart phones and VoIP programs like Skype and Ventrilo. The application would be similar to current text translators however it would instantly translate anything the user speaks into another language of their choice. This would allow users who speak different languages to communicate flawlessly with one another. The application would remove the need for a user to learn another language and almost create a universal language because all one would need to understand someone who speaks a different language is the application. Language is probably the most common barrier between people of different nationalities and regions of the world. If we can remove that barrier it would be easier for people of different nations to collaborate and further develop technologies.
