The Next New Thing

Trying to come up with a new type of new media that does not already exist is difficult. At this point i think that there is every type of new media there could possibly be. If i had to come up with something I would create a website meant for students that is completely free. You would be able to ask questions to fellow students for help with homework or school work. The only way you would be able to get help would be with a points system. You would have to answer a question in order to earn points that will allow you to have a question answered. This way the more questions you answer to help other students, the more questions you would be allowed to ask. I would never at any point make it a members only website that you have to pay for. Students are paying enough in tuition they don't need to worry about the cost of this as well.
