If I had the opportunity to create a new form of media, it would have to be an interactive radio for children.  What this radio would be able to do is translate what's going in media, meaning world and local news, according to a child's understanding capability.  Most schools encourage that children to know how to read the newspaper at an early age so that they will be well informed.  I personally believe that the news on TV is a bit harsh for children's understanding.  Why not have our children be well informed at a young age at a much basic level where violence is removed from their learning.  This form of media would be developed for children the ages of 9 and up.  The parents would control the settings to how long the child would have daily to interact with the radio.

Honestly I haven't given it much thought as to what this device would be called, however this radio would inform the children of what the stock market is and which stocks are dominating, etc.  It would inform them of the voting processes and who the nation's President would be and what their job entails.  It would also inform them of what is going on in our world as far as policies, trades, laws, etc. I know, you're probably thinking, "what is the internet for?" or "how is it different?"  Well, you have to somewhat have heard the information initially to want to log on to the internet to want to do research on the topic.  However, with this "radio" the information would be broadcasted to your child informing them of daily events in all aspects around the world and teaching them at the same time. I would've liked something like this growing up it would've made my social studies classes much easier to get through.
