I saw on the news the other day where people are putting surveillence videos exposing theives stealing from their home while they are away. They hope that putting these videos up will increase awareness of how these criminals are getting into the houses and hoping that they might get identified. This is just one of the many things that are popping up every day challenging our previous notions of what new media can do. This seems to open so many doors. Could we put these videos up on local news or community/neighborhood sites? That will make it easier to identify the person because they likely live nearby and will likely hit other houses nearby.
This is a possibility that has always been out there. Youtube has been around for years, surveillence cameras for even longer. How many other possibilities are just sitting in front of our noses? New media seems to present endless possibilities to make our lives easier, safer, and more enjoyable. I just think it is interesting to see what all will come out of this and see how people will use new media in innovative ways in the future.
