The next new media thing would be the virtualization technology
allowing students to study in 3D. With such technology students can take
anything from a cell to entire human body and explore it in 3D. Any other field
can use virtual projection which can lead to better understanding of things
rather than one dimension diagrams. This technology can be a better
learning experience for any students who have problems imagining things, like
while studying DNA structure or any complex molecule. Class participation can
increase as professors can virtually ask question by adding or deleting part of
images. Professors can save time as they no more would need to draw same images
again and again.

P2P FILE SHARING
1) File
sharing means one computer is allowing other computer to access their documents,
applications, photos etc.
2) P2P file
sharing is the distribution and sharing of documents, games, digital books and
movie using peer to peer networking technology. This will allow user to access documents
or other stuff from anywhere in world.
3) Examples:
bittorrent, limewire, uTorrent, coursehero etc. this site allow people to
upload their file and anyone can access it or download it form anywhere. P2P
raises copyright issue because people also upload or share some copyrighted
stuff which is illegal.
WIKI SO FAR
I have not contributed in wiki yet. I am majoring in CIS so I
am planning to create pages on Java, HTML and JQuery( programming and scripting languages). I will be adding how all these languages work
and how to use these languages. Also I am taking classes for all these language
so I will add projects which I have done in those classes.

Privacy
There is always privacy and confidentiality issue with new media. Users still expose their personal information on the new media sites. It is most attractive sites for hackers to hack because it has a lot of personal stuff and that’s why privacy and confidentiality is related to new media. Not even new media, whatever we do on the internet is not safe. Over the past years, use of the internet is extremely rising day by day and along with that privacy issues are rising with the same pace.
There always be privacy and confidentiality concern because site admin’s can see our information and there have been some cases where they have to share user information to third parties.
Advice
My suggestions:
1) Baruch should offer more online courses so whoever lives far from school can have better schedule.
2) Baruch should implement better system using new media to replace blackboard. It will help students to concentrate in study and they can check the new site the way they check Facebook.
3) There should be a site where students can communicate with professors directly. Also they can check professor rating and teaching style.

Creativity
Creativity is a natural thing
which is hard to learn, but develops with time. Projecting actual thought
process requires both effort and patience. But with inventions of software like
YouTube, it is actually very easy to project one’s thinking. It can make any
new video a hit within minutes, due to increased use of YouTube in daily lives
today. It was a creative thought of Google Inc. which makes YouTube so
exceptional and it is helping people share their creativity.
Mash ups videos are creativity of user and it is been made by
copyrighted cartoon characters. In the article “Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody
of Its Critters. But Why?” by Brooks Barnes explains how “Crank That (Soulja
Boy)” video with Winnie the Pooh and some friends became a hit in a short
period. There are so many other famous homemade videos like cooking, dressing,
make-up, fixing certain equipment, educational videos and so on which describes
creativity.
Creativity and New Media
After watching a YouTube video on
second life; I choose to create an avatar in second life. Also I felt more
interesting because I like to interact with new people. In second life you can
be in any destination and hangout there such as clubs, beaches and different cities
etc. See the pictures below where i am hanging around a swimming pool and near a band stage in second picture.
