New type of new media

A new type of new media that i would suggest is for a system to be created to allow restaurants and customers interact. Customers eat at resturants all day and of course they have thoughts on how to improve either the atmosphere of the place of how the food taste. It is very difficult for owners to know and communicate with the customers because they are always so busy, so if a new way of communication was made through new media then it would fill a void.

Wiki So Far

As of yet i have not contributed to wiki but i plan to contribute some knowledge on social networking which I've gained and I would like share with everyone.

P2P File Sharing

1. File sharing is the exchange of files between people and this is done every second. This can include things like documents, songs, movies, or memory. Files are stored data on a hard drive and with file sharing you can send this data over to somebody else with the same software capabilities.

2. P2P file sharing is something that allows users to access many files including books, movies, music and games as long as they are using the P2P software. It has started with companies like Napster and has grown to be one of the largest distribution networks in the world.

3. Some examples of P2P file sharing is torrents in which you can access and share media files over the internet. You need to have the software to be able to be apart of it but this is essentially what P2P file sharing is used for.

Privacy and Confidentiality In New Media

New media has made privacy almost extinct over the years because of how much information becomes public by sharing online. People don't notice how much they are posting about their own lives because they think it is all out there for friends but have no idea where it is going. Privacy was something very sacred and since this era with social networking like Facebook and Twitter it took it to a new level. The older generation took privacy and confidentiality very seriously and nowadays people don't understand the seriousness and the risks that come along with losing your privacy due to new media.

New Media at Baruch College

If i were to improve new media at Baruch College i would try to do the best job i can. The most important dynamic from communication within a university is between student to student and student to professor. I would create an application exclusive to students and professors in Baruch College which allows for private communication and public. Private communication would of course stay confidential and could be questions of advise that students are seeking out from professors or more experienced students and then there would be a blog area where people can share useful information about school activities and maybe school appropriate jokes. I believe this is a great idea for the school if i were to be hired to advance new media at Baruch College.

Creativity

New media is what almost defines creativity of the present. New media gave us new ways and tools to use and look at things even if your looking at what somebody else did. These are all news ways to do things which haven't been done like this in the past. From"Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Followers" By Claire Cain Miller, we learn how Twitter got much of its information on how to upgrade its service from its followers. People don't realize how big new media is in the sense how everything people are writing is noted and studied by companies to try and improve the service in which it is providing. Twitter was just a company who was as simple as 140 characters but because it followed what its customers were saying it was able to grown tremendously and become what it has today with some amazing integrations and features. New Media is nothing simple and it grows by innovation and comments from its users and it will grow more and more in the future. This comes to show how creativity brings out strong foundation and growth and its not only the inventors who hold this creativity even though they brought whatever it is to the market.

Modeling Reality With Virtual Worlds

Sometimes today we can even confuse virtual worlds with reality because it has become to common that virtual worlds is the norm. I have played video games that i can create a world from scratch and sometimes we get so sucked up into it that we confuse it with being reality. I think it is very beneficial because it gets your brain moving and innovative while you are in your room at the computer. Others have their own opinion like in the Advantage & Disadvantages of the Virtual Classroom And The Role of The Teacher by Guy Posey we see how it is not so beneficial to teachers because it is taking away from the classroom experience. As we get further into technology they are trying to replace our current reality with a virtual reality but it has its pros and cons. In another article that i read called "How Will Virtual reality Change Gambling"we see how good the technology is that people even mistake what reality is but in this case their is an issue because people have their finances at stake and may not even feel the risk. This is a tremendous topic which will gain more and more momentum moving forward.
