There are so many new media technology coming out every year that it's so hard to keep up. Just in a decade, our new media today will become old media. I feel like there should be a 3D videos and texts where you can just flip through pages on your phone or tablet with a single hand motion without touching the screen. These 3D images are like projections and this can enhance video watching experience, Skype calls or conferences, and also gaming. It will be a whole new experience and I feel like it'll definitely change media and the way...

So for the class Wiki, I added content to the Arts page. Although I didn't write much yet, but I added a brief intro, which I'll fix up later, and also some categories that I'll include within the Arts section. I plan to talk about the art around us that are available to us as students such as the Chelsea galleries, Five Points, Museums which has free entry during certain times, and music and film festivals. I'll go in-depth and show how art is everywhere around us, its just that we need to know our resources and where to find th...

I would suggest making twitter or Facebook page where Baruch students can constantly be updated with events that are going on. Since everyone's on Facebook, it's easier to have it all in one place and they can check their own Facebook and see Baruch's update without having to log into other sites or applications. Moreover, they can choose to see what updates they want to read. Twitter is a good way to reach out to many students and students can respond and ask questions. Facebook is more efficient than Blackboard because they would want...
Nowadays, every new media has a problem: Privacy. Everything you put on the internet is public and allowed for everyone else to access your content. Facebook is one of the bigest example. Everything you upload on Facebook, your pictures, videos, statuses, comments, belongs to Facebook. If you read the Terms and Privacy, it says that everything belongs to them. However, if you don't want everyone else to see your content, and only your friends, there's an option to make it more private. However, your friends can download your picture and share it...

Media is constantly improving and it consumes everyone's lives. We use it daily to check updates on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. Media fosters creativity since it allow one to share ideas to a large audience. An example of how media fosters creativity is how some companies offer contests for their viewers to participate in. Big companies offer viewers to market a company's product to help the company generate a new idea. Doritos had a YouTube contest that had its viewers think of an idea and make a video to sell their brand. The best one would...

There are many ways virtual worlds can be used for. They can be used for business purposes to social purposes. Virtual worlds allow people create 3D avatars and connect and communicate online rather in person. Such as how IBM helped a company log into the world called Second Life and create virtual meetings. The meeting on the screen looked like what the room would look like in real life and the 3D avatars would look like the executives. Virtual worlds allow people to actually "be there" but not actually there. People can also create and live however...

Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and Tumblr, are websites that comes to our mind when thinking about networking sites.
Facebook is probably one of the most popular social networking sites out there. It is very easy to use, and since how almost everyone has one, it allows one to easily communicate and be updated with their friends lives. Finding friends is easy due to the fact that they have a mutual friends and friends suggestion sidebar. You can post on walls and post up statuses, photos, and videos. The newsfeed also acts a current event update because...
Both Twitter and Blackboard are ways to communicate and have a discussion. Both Twitter and Blackboard allows faculty to communicate and update students. However, Twitter is more current and easier to access while Blackboard is more set and less flexible. If using Twitter, discussions are limited to 140 characters. Therefore sometimes this might not be enough to get a point across. Blackboard allows students to attach files or type as long of a discussion they want. Unlike Twitter, Blackboard has threads which creates an organized way to show all...

How many people still call their friends to tell them to hang out with them outside in the park? Probably just one in ten of us would do that. Nowadays we would most likely use some form of social media such as Facebook, to contact our friends. The internet offers numerous ways for us to communicate that was not possible if it was just 100 years ago. We can easily communicate through instant messaging, video chatting, e-mail, video conferencing, and social sites. Instead of meeting up and talking face to face, we tend to use video chatting options...
