How about the next level of GPS based web apps. Gowalla now is kinda lame (imo), but, maybe talk about how they can take technology like that to the next level.

Talk about the dawn of the industrial age .. the transitions that society when through as we moved from a society where communities consumed the food and products they produced themselves, to a society where producers and consumers were separated.
Use examples to show how the requirements of industrialisation created social change back when factory-based production was a new thing - and move on to provide your own assessment of the way that current new media technology is creating change now, at the beginning of the digital age.
Highlight what could go 'right' as well as what could go 'wrong'. Play futurologist.

Does it have to be on a device or a technology?
Mobile devices and the progression of the semantic web could be a good topic, and if you're anticipating classmates doing iPad e.t.c it'll probably come across as a more advanced investigation, whilst not being completely obscure.

Maybe you could just pick a single media industry and talk about how it is being forced to change. I'm not sure if this is part of your course, but it's probably more useful and interesting to talk about how technology affects people and society, rather than the technology itself.
The newspaper industry is a good example. Newpapers are currently fucked. No one's buying them as much as they used to, and their websites are being viewed for free and aggregated by companies like Google.
Rupert Murdoch is intent on running the biggest experiment the industry has ever encountered, by creating a 'paywall' - charging users to access his paper's content. How likely is it, that this will work? If it does work, what will this mean for the 'free web'?
Blogs have become a viable source for real news. How does this affect journalism? Anyone can become a blogger ... how will this affect the way that the general public views news? Are people less or more likely to believe everything they read?
Can technology help save the industry? Will the iPad help the industry fight back? etc..

Write about cloud services and SaaS. The women in your class will want you, and the men will want to be like you.
It's the future of technology and computing.

Write a paper about how Don Draper would handle life in the 2010.
How would he rule the advertising world today?

Ya, it needs to be some new type of technology... or a device...
i have to present my report in a manner that im trying to "sell" it to the class...

Apple appstore as alternative/parallel internet? sell the closed system/high-quality content compared to open system/variable quality of the internet. You could make the case that content providers will seek the best return for their time and energy, and going forward you may see channels like the appstore attracting most high-quality content, rather than it deploying to the internet and trying to monetize through advertising.

How about 3D printing and advancements in rapid prototyping. The way components can actually be constructed together as one in ways that weren't possible - Ball/socket joints and stuff.
This is more technology than 'new media' I guess, but there are some awesome possibilities.
