Next New

        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.
