A new type of new media that does not currently exist is an app for traveling. It would act as a travel guide for those who want to travel to a foreign city, as well as a translator. It would have places sorted according to categories. Additionally, it would be helpful for it to have a function to connect with locals, for those who travel alone and want to learn more about the destination of their choice.
Hi Amy, I think there are some apps out there do that, such as TripAdvisor. You can choose your language in the app, and it will give you advices on traveling. But I agree with you about the locals. Like in NYC, visitors usually take subway or UBER, but some places don't use Uber. I think it will be great if the app can combine the advisors and locals together, so it will save a lot of time.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy! I love this idea. I think there is something mystifying about exploring the world alone. Although it might be hard to connect with locals in more rural areas, places like NYC, as Jingyan said, can definitely make this happen. It would be amazing to allow NYC tourists to experience New York just as we do.
