So it's here! The new iPhone 8 and iPhone X. I would like to dedicate my term research project to focusing on the new iPhone (which of course was discussed yesterday at the Apple conference), even though a device is not technically new media.

I want to explore how facial recognition influences the perhaps inhibits the online/social media experience. I would also like to track current trends and hopefully discover the direction that technology experts are postured in with this advancement!
