A type of new media that I would like to see being used is something along the lines of skype but instead of being something to contact friends it would be more for emergency medical problems for household waits before an ambulance arrives. Something that would be downloaded onto all you're devices and where it is simply like a 911 call but video based, completely free, and all you have to do is open it an select the type of help you need. Support chats like this might be a useful thing because it can be used in emergency situations but also in cases where you find yourself not really needing to go to the doctor, but just need something to be done visually.

P2P Filesharing and its Implications

File sharing and Peer to peer file sharing is basically ways to share files between massive numbers of people, a name casually worn by P2P is piracy because you usually see file sharing as a method to give someone else an expensive program they cant afford  or watch a blockbuster movie for free. this is basically one of the most common illegal deeds most people end up doing, because it's very easy to do.

The Open Source Community

Confidentiality in new media is surprisingly one of the more serious issues, even though it really makes no sense to spend much time on it, as long as proper credits are given, generally its more of a trivial subject because you can't really say "sound is mine"; so therefore a song shouldn't be able to be claimed. A songs entertainment purposes are expanded through the creation of video's that use said audio but copy right claims keep the creativity from happening.
