A new media that currently doesn't exist is an app that picks out a restaurant for you when you are with a group of friends. Usually, when I go out to eat with a group of people, we always end up with different ideas for what to eat and can never agree on which restaurant to go to. This app allows each user in the group to select from a list of foods or a type of cuisine they want. Collectively, using everyone's options, it can select a restaurant in the area that has similar foods to the ones that the group picked. For example, if I am with my friends, Emily, Claire, Stanley, and Terry and Emily wants pasta, Claire wants ramen, Stanley wants chicken, and Terry wants soup, the app can recommend a Vietnamese restaurant in the neighborhood that can satisfy everyone's need. This app can be in collaboration with Yelp and has the potential to grow even bigger.
