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.
It's a brilliant idea ;) I think if we finally can create software/ device that will translate any language and be easy in use (like cellphone ap) it will improve not only communication but also help in language studying.
ReplyDeleteIt will be cool to heard our own voice speaking in another language. This is a great idea especially for those who want to learn a new language and don't know where to start from
ReplyDeleteThis would be GREAT for those who travel a lot or even students who go study abroad!
