BLOG: Next New

A new media that doesn't exist could be a sort of real life extension of Facebook in which people rate you after every interaction with you. It would have to be able to sense who is around you and who you interact with. This idea comes from a show called Black Mirror. It is a modern version of the twilight zone of sorts with utopian societies that involve some type of technology and new media. But basically it people after interacting or seeing something you post on Facebook or any social media would rate you out of five stars. The average number of stars was then looked at as reference to what kind of person you are. The rating was taken way too seriously in the show but I feel that if looked at like a credit score of sorts it could help when judging what kind of person to hire for a job or just to show how they interact with people. It could have problems could use some adjusting but it could be a great idea. It could help people be authentic in the sense that a crook mechanic would have so many bad ratings he'd go out of business because no one goes to him any more. Not to say this this new media would be perfect but its an idea.
