Christmas season is quickly approaching us, and thanks in part to the enormous lines that come naturally with holiday shopping, I have a suggestion in mind for a new type of "new media" in the form of an app. While today's marketed world consists of something available for almost every niche segment out there, I don't believe this idea exists but I would definitely find it to be of use for society as the holidays come in full swing. 

Further divulging on how new media can contribute to various application areas in life, the Baruch New Media wiki page has been of great help.

Regarding contributions, thus far I have added several paragraphs of new material to pages already existing in the portal. Namely, I discussed SNOW (a photo sharing and editing app) in the Photography subpage and accompanied it with an image of the logo that I uploaded. Similarly, I also added fresh content with references on Procreate in the Illustration Programs subtopic of Arts and Technology, further expanded on new media's role in K-pop in Entertainment (abroad), & included a Papago (app) section for New Media & Translation.

Furthermore, I edited several pages in order to correct spelling mistakes, grammar faults, sentence structure, etc. for various publishings under a variety of pages. Also, I took the liberty to update some information about Snack Fever (prices, current offerings) and Drama Fever (its recent shutdown). Additional corrections I made include deleting incorrectly placed references from the New Media in Entertainment page and transferring them to their appropriate sections (except in the case where two of the misplaced references were duplicates, so I just deleted them altogether), switching the order of some subheadings within a page in order to enhance the related flow of content, adding subcategories to their related subheadings for organizational purposes, and adding the official heading of References to the contents section of New Media & Translation.

Going forward, I am pretty sure I have contributed to all components required on the checklist, but I would like to potentially add a couple more paragraphs of new content to various pages sometime in the future as I see fit in order to help our class wiki page garner more information on various application areas.

File sharing, in lieu of the epoch of new media, is an action used to describe the interconnected transfer, access, or distribution of some form of digital content to other systems, networks, or computers via a cloud software of sorts. Some examples of file sharing platforms include iCloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox. Notably, all three software applications allow for the storage of data files into a cloud-based server upon which various levels of customizable security are instated for access elsewhere or by others. Generally, file sharing is more so the umbrella term which contains various modules or sections within it.

Namely, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing is a particular example of the aforementioned blanket head which specifically focuses in on one individual providing a direct copy of a digital media file right into the hands (or computer, rather) of another individual at a quick pace. A prime case of P2P file sharing comes from the creation of the pioneer of this technology himself: Shawn Fanning's Napster. Napster allowed users to "donate" or upload bootlegged music files onto the application which then allowed for other users to directly download said files onto their own computers for their own use. Lead media analysts referred to Napster as “[an] absolutely...groundbreaking technology that changed the way consumers listened to music, discovered music, and interacted with music...” (Choi, 5). Thanks to this pioneering, other notable P2P file sharing applications that rode in Napster's wake include uTorrent and BitTorrent.

With that said, Choi points out that while it is important to note that some of these piracy applications are not entirely legal or ethical, they are: "(1) pioneers the use of new technologies; (2) provides the business world with invaluable market insight; (3) contributes to new market creation; and (4) evolves into legitimate and innovative business models." (Choi, 8-9) To elaborate, while some P2P file-sharing softwares are questionable in integrity, many of those who realm in the world of digital content acquisitions tend to be early adopters of products in the diffusion of innovations, which ultimately helps drive up a new market or invigorates the early and late majority that soon follows.

Back in the days of old media, issues of privacy and confidentiality were not as complex and layered as they are today. Seemingly, further advancements of new media come hand-in-hand with increased risks of security breaches, hackers, and an overall loss of privacy. 

Regarding privacy in the sense of what you choose to share with the world, the age of the Internet and new media have made it quite difficult to truly stay connected and linked with your inner circle--and your inner circle only. As detailed in "Facebook Privacy Is So Confusing Even the Zuckerberg Family Photo Isn't Private," Mark Zuckerburg's sister, Randi Zuckerburg, found herself in an undesired situation. Despite having set a private family photo to display to her friends only, someone outside of this jurisdiction managed to see the photo and shared it on Twitter. Here, there comes the saying that you should be cautious as to what you post on the Internet because it stays there forever. However, in this case, Randi's private photo was, obviously, not as private as she had intended. This came to be because due to the complicated privacy settings of Facebook that apparently were not as simple as they seemed, selecting 'friends only' doesn't quite mean 'friends only'. Rather, friends of people tagged in the photo--whether or not the poster is friends with those people--also assume the power of visibility and 'breach' into privacy. As explained in the article, "the term "friends" in this album at right indicates my friends and all the friends of people tagged in the post. Changing that involves clicking "custom" and unchecking a box that reads "friends of those tagged," (Greenberg, 3).

Clearly, in the once-been world without social media, this issue would not have happened, but, alas, times change and the only effective countermeasure is to ensure you (1) don't post anything you would end up regretting and (2) make sure all of your privacy settings are set as desired - do not assume the computers know what you want, you have to instruct the settings to as pleased.

On the other hand, confidentiality is another hot topic within the realms of new media. For instance, when you pay with your credit card at a typically trusted retail giant like Target, you expect no such issues like a security breach to occur. Nonetheless, hackers managed to gain access to confidential information of over 110 million customers. Instead of paying with cash, as were the days of old media, praying with credit cards which contain microtapes embedded with the owner's information make people much more susceptible to identity theft or fraud. With the good comes the bad, and so, with new media technology comes individuals trying to exploit it for personal gain. Thus, as the new media technologies advance, so should a company's level of internal/external controls and data encryption to protect customers. Thankfully, Kerr makes note that following the incident Target made plans to implement highly-encrypted chip-enabled smartcards (Kerr, 2). Following this implementation, Target may want to continue their regulation of controls as this just gives the hackers a new challenge to overcome.

New media is definitely a tool that can be utilized in this modern day-and-age to improve the overall experience for college-goers. If I were hired by Baruch College to think of some creative way to implement new media for general enhancement purposes, one suggestion I would make would be to install some large LED screen on the second floor of the Vertical Campus. Positioned right before the escalators that lead up to the third floor, this monitor could be similar to the mini-LED stock projection screen in the library, but for a more student life approach. Perhaps it could display the current day of the week and time as a reminder for students on their way to class, but more so it can feature current student events or reminders in an aesthetically pleasing way. Many times students streamline in and out of classes and move on with their days, but having a large and well-designed projection of on-campus activities could surge participation and engagement rates.

Another potential idea for Baruch College in terms of new media implementations could be that of a more micro-level scale for classroom purposes. Personally, I've had my fair share of classes where professors would pass around attendance sheets that never make it to an entire side of the classroom (myself included), which would result in a huge line at the end of class to try and sign the sheet which is an unnecessary hassle when people have places to be. In fact, I've also had a class where the professor would actually spend an extraordinarily long amount of time taking attendance manually; that is, calling out names as the professor went down the roster. Now, mind you, this was a lecture class with 70+ students so you can imagine the boredom of just sitting there for like ten minutes as the professor struggle to pronounce almost every single name, every single class. And, I mean this with all due respect, but surely there's a better way to take attendance. Thus, I would propose maybe a Baruch app (or designated spot on the website) where each class has there own section and professors can alert the class what the 'attendance code' for the day is and students just sign themselves in electronically. Of course, this would assume that the WiFi would actually be working--which is something else that should be fixed. This application/link could also act as an alternative to the BlackBoard board in which students may be able to submit thoughts or responses to questions posed by the professor as additional participation credit/fuels for discussion.

Finally, I'm pretty sure we've all had the beyond pleasant experience of swiping in our ID cards to get that red dot and immediately hearing the exasperated sighs of the people who unfortunately chose to stand behind you in the now-growing line. Add wet umbrellas, hands full of stuff, and three minutes till class and you've earned yourself a fantastic start to the day. Using new media technology, perhaps we could issue new ID cards with some sort of barcode or chip where we can just scan our IDs on the turnstiles which would then automatically proceed to allow you through instead of vigourously swiping multiple times before switching lanes.

The rise of new media is one that has completely revolutionized the arts and entertainment industry. Coming with all the new technological advancements that allow people from all over the world to indulge in the globalization of ideas, it can be said without a shadow of a doubt that new media fosters creativity.

Now, the question then becomes: how so? Well, from the perspective of the original content creators, new media enables the mass dissemination of art, music, movies, etc. to the public which ensures that the artists, producers, directors, and those of the like are having the fruit of their blood, sweat, and tears through recognition and acknowledgment.  New media, in a sense, acts as the facilitator or middleman of the buyer and the seller; thus, the more opportunities made available for the buyers to buy, the more inspired the sellers will be to create to sell.

Branching away from the 'original creators,' new media also fosters creativity within, say, 'secondhand creators'. Perhaps a better way to phrase this would be: art inspires art. This can be seen via the mashups and parodies being created by original consumers who then upload their remodeled art onto content-sharing platforms like YouTube and become new creators. Guarded under the fair use doctrine within the copyright protection laws, since these edited clips do not explicitly violate intellectual property, you may be able to find "YouTube videos that turn Bambi, Simba and Winnie the Pooh into rap stars [performing to] “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” by the rapper Soulja Boy." (Barnes, 1).

Disney is not the only company that is seemingly tolerant over these creative twists to their art, for Nickelodeon spokesperson Dan Martinsen also lauded mashups of Spongebob Squarepants which churned out a massive 7 million views and counting (Barnes, 1-2). Considering the fact that "Crank That" was the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 during its time and probably aided in further exposure of these Disney and Nickelodeon characters, this can be viewed as a sub-convergence within the arts and entertainment industry that encourages more fostering of creativity with all the new media technologies expediting this nurturing and fruitful environment.

Otherwise, more generally, new media technologies give users a platform (be it a social media site, game, etc.) to divulge into some form of self-expression that is unique and creative to themselves in various aspects and in conjunction to the parallels of the other 5 C's.

Creativity connects to new media, as an apple connects to apple pie; that is, creativity is one of the several key components that constitute or builds up to the overarching concept of new media. Similar to how a freshly baked apple pie nurtures the granny-smith apples nestled within it, new media is said to foster creativity.

Given free reign to let our imaginations run wild, the best example that I could muster up was largely inspired by the Second Life game. Back in middle school, I used to play an online rhythm-key dancing game called Audition Online by Nexon (the company that created Maple Story). Nexon, which was founded in South Korea, observed the extremely growing popularity of Audition in Korea, where it originated and made the move to file all appropriate documents to bring it overseas. In that sense, it may be fitting that the rise of new media technologies allowed for the globalization of culture, ideas, and gaming innovations to converge the obstacles of distance, language, and time.

More specific to actual in-game fostering of creativity, new media can definitely be seen as the trailblazer that paved the path for original self-expression within the in-game community. Users are able to create their own 'dancer' and then additionally customize their character using beats (the currency of the game) which are earned from challenging other players in games. Alternatively, as this is a freemium desktop application game, users have the ability to convert real money into bana cash, which permits for more stylized and 'better looking' accessories, clothes, etc. This feature allows players to be able to connect to their avatar as it may end up becoming a manifestation of the player's creative juices. Personally, I much preferred the cash clothes over the beats clothes, so I was able to effectively engage in an e-commerce transaction online to convert some real money into game money, thanks to technological advancements, and as a result, I was able to expand my options from a tiny selection of clothes to the entire shopping mall. This, effectively, allowed me to be more creative with my mix-and-matching of items in regards to how I wanted to present my character to others—whether it be an original reflection of my own personal style or a mashup of inspiration drawn from other user's characters. Ultimately, I was rather pleased with the final result of my character (pictured above), and if I ever got bored of it, I could go right back into the mall and purchase a new set. 

As a slight tangent, I also just wanted to touch upon how the game also allows users to join or create a 'FAM' (short for family, and similar to a guild) and interact with a subcommunity of other members in respect to the entire user base. Leaders of the FAM are also able to purchase various FAM houses, banks, clocks, forums, notifications, and settings. This demonstrates a direct correlation and substantiation amongst creativity, community, communication, collaboration, and convergence. To elaborate on this, in the case of my character, he's in a FAM named Kappa (community) with users from all around the country, some even from differing countries, (convergence) who came together to provide input (collaboration) through messages (communication) about how to stylize the house that would be reflective of all of our styles and tastes (creativity).

Picture this: you're up in the clouds—flying—doing the impossible, and next, all of a sudden, you're down in the ocean swimming with the vibrant, yet unexplored ecosystem of life. Realistically, you may have been quick to assume that this was either some dream you were having, or, perhaps, the situation described may have been the elements of some new game on the market. For some, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) may be just that: a game. However, these manifested and graphics worlds can mean so much more to people with disabilities, people suffering from social anxiety disorders, and even students and teachers within a classroom setting.

Harping in on that note, virtual worlds can be used in a plethora of methods—other than just a simple gaming experience. For example, one use of modeling reality with virtual worlds is that it can be used as a stimulation of senses for those with disabilities, who may not have the ability to leave their houses and be exposed to the "real world" outside their home-inclined parameters. Another use of these alternate universes is one in relation to education. Thanks to large advancements in technology and new media, lucky students are now able to become more engaged and compelled with the topics they're learning. As Earle stated, "They’re taking virtual field trips to faraway places, learning about the lives of refugee families or studying the inner workings of volcanoes." (Earle, 2). Since technology is constantly evolving, it may be too soon to limit the potential uses of these virtual worlds, but in general, there's a common lining in transporting individuals from confined settings and placing them otherwhere to enhance some aspect of their lives. 

Essentially, the applications of virtual words outline the benefits of said matter. To elaborate, in lieu of those with disabilities, one virtual world, under the branded game Second Life, allows high-achieving persons, who otherwise have Asperger's syndrome and are subsequently unable to perform up to societal standards in a social construct, to be able to become part of the online community and build up their self-confidence in practice all within the comforts of their own bedrooms. David Savill, a fellow human who is not defined by his diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome, explained his stance on Second Life acting as a creative bridge between community and convergence: "So you're not going out into the real world meeting people, you're going meeting people online and in your own home, so you're perfectly relaxed. It's just a fantastic tool to use to bring people together." (Saidi, 1). To add on, this context can also correspond to aiding those with social anxiety disorder; namely, it gives them a positive space with other like-minded individuals in a nurturing community to help each other bring one's confidence and rapport up enough to where one may feel courageous to apply their newly refined skills in the real world.

Additionally, another advantage of utilizing virtual worlds is that it fosters creativity within a classroom setting. Teachers are able to take students on virtual "trips" to other parts of the world in order to truly grasp the meaning behind their lessons, as a supplement, on a more kinesthetic and tactile level. Augmented reality allowing students to see things on a first-line basis or in the shoes of another person half-way across the world has proven to be the case with Marie Graham's class at Mount Vernon: "Students who went into in their world virtually, she said, left it with opinions that differed from the ones they had held before. "The kids said, 'They’re like us.' I said, 'yes.' Then I realized [the students’] language about refugees had changed. I thought, 'How do we harness this and use it?'"" (Earle, 5)

With all that said, given how relatively new this innovation really is, there are still some skeptics about how beneficial virtual reality really is. As Marsha Maxwell, who is the head of educational technology for the Atlanta International School in Buckhead, said: “We’re looking at the ramifications and how to use it.” (Earle, 2). Other potential cons include potential glitches in the technological systems (i.e. lag times), and pixelated graphics not accurately depicting the modeled "reality" of an alternate world, creating some sort of known block as a disruption to the overall experience. Also, despite Google World's presence in the field, other fictional settings may require time for development of specific requirements. And, regardless of  "St. Pius X Catholic School social studies teacher Ellis Thomas" (Earle, 3) comparing the price of a VR set to a plane ticket to France, that does not diminish how costly these popularly sought-after technological devices actually are.

Considering how VR and AR are major innovations at the forefront of further development and research, I believe that these technologies will be the leaders for the future in the field of virtual worlds. Having originally started from something 2D in front of a computer screen, this has already come a remarkably long way into a headset that allows for 3D augmentation and field of view. Perhaps, the next step could be along the lines of a more 4D experience with sensory capabilities heightened and enhanced for further beneficial experiences of various parties.

Pairing along with the evolution of technology and new media, educational discussions have interestingly followed in step with these advancements. Usually, it would be common to think that all teachers and professors would scold students and tell them to put their phones away—who would've known that students are now able to use their devices to become more engaged in 'classroom' discussions?

With respect to Twitter, these discussions are meant to be short and concise. Given the character limit per Tweet, one may find it best to keep things to-the-point; thus immediately creating a disparity between honing in on key points and having no particular restrictions (say, with other modes of discussion which will be further addressed). In comparison, BlackBoard discussions, like Twitter, allow students to be able to participate online, and for introverts and quieter students, these online discussions are true blessings as they are now able to participate and articulate their thoughts in tandem with the rest of the class, as opposed to keeping quiet during in-class conversations. Additionally, both BlackBoard discussions and in-class discussions notably create a more formal environment in which students tend to get straight to work. On the other hand, as Twitter is also a social media site, getting distracted would often occur and lead to probable procrastination.

Ultimately, as words through a screen can only speak so much, in retrospect, in-class discussions may have the comparative advantage in terms of understanding in the traditional sense, but for those who are timider and those who are extremely busy with work, online and hybrid classes can, in fact, cultivate great discussion via BlackBoard and Twitter.

Today's technology-driven society has most likely exposed you to social networking sites (SNS). As a refresher, these new media technologies creatively distinguish themselves as a platform that allows users from all over the world to collaborate and communicate with each other; effectively, SNS integrate such information technology in order to converge people from all over the world and eliminate the global hinderance of time and space, as it encourages the fostering of a virtual community.

For lack of a better word, Facebook is the 'face' of social networking sites. Known to be the giant in its respective field, Facebook has millions upon millions of users from all around the globe. Whether you're there for messaging friends, challenging others in games like Tetris or (annoyingly) requesting assistance in FarmVille, wishing a distant relative happy birthday on their 'wall', or just to post a status about what's on your mind for your acquaintances to see, Facebook seemingly has it down pat. Despite the massive amount of users, recently (perhaps just in my neck of the woods) Facebook has acquired a reputation of being for "older people" as younger crowds are steering away to avoid that friend request from their parents who they suspect will be "all up in their business".

Unlike Facebook which typically requires your full name or the name of your organization, Twitter is making rounds with their 'handles'. As a countermeasure to the plentiful amounts of aliases, individuals who have some type of known presence or following can be viewed with a checkmark next to their handle, indicating that they've been verified. Personally, I find Twitter to be much more engaging as you constantly have access to current trends and news that are happening simultaneously around the world--not to mention, its character limit is creative in its method to keep things brief and to-the-point. Furthermore, its renowned feature of using hashtags is a great way to meet, say, like-minded individuals who are just as eager to engage in a conversation about whatever is specified in the said hashtag.

Instagram is also one of the more popular SNS that primarily focuses on posting photos about your day paired with some witty caption that friends or followers can double-tap to 'like'. Typically, I'd say Instagram is more of a personal blog of photos, but its additional features of being able to create a "business profile" and their Instagram stories add a whole new aspect to its users' communication. Similar to Twitter, Instagram is a platform that leaves a good impression with me because I'm much more of a visual type of person so capitalizing on their innovation of brief snapshots with punny captions is more so up my alley.

Finally, Snapchat is a social networking site that I find to be within the same vein as Instagram. However, instead of photos that stay captured on your feed, Snapchat is recognized for its short video stories that have an expiration date--once that's reached, it's gone forever (unless a viewer has screenshotted your story, which ties back into information technology and social responsibility). Just like Facebook, Snapchat is something that I have used, then eventually deleted (app wise) due to a personal engagement and intrigue.

All in all, it is undeniable that these SNS have revolutionized the way we as humans are able to stay up-to-date and interconnected with one another, regardless of your opinions on each platform.

Networking isn't something new—that is, this traditional principle is one that can actually be linked to common sense. Think about it this way: the stranger that you helped out after he dropped his file of documents by the coffee shop? You may never know when you'll meet him again, but such an external locus of control may have fate knocking on your door when that same man turns out to be your interviewer for the new job opening you were referenced to. The takeaway? Be sociable. Be personable. Always put your best foot forward in every situation. In essence, it would be wise for you to build connections and as cheesy at it may sound, always strive to be the best version of you because, in the long run, you'll find out that it only benefits you.

Powering along with the consistent theme of old versus new, plain-old networking has kept up with the times and has evolved into social (media) networking. Integrated within the depths of information technology, social networking technologies have wrung out the likes of Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter among a vast sea of other up-and-coming platforms. Their use? Well, on a corporate level, Maureen Crawford-Hentz of Osram Sylvania is seemingly over the moon with the facilitated and readily-accessible access to potential star employees: "Social networking technology is absolutely the best thing to happen to recruiting -- ever." (Langfitt, 1). In the eyes of Crawford-Hentz, social networking technologies allow employers, like herself, to navigate amongst an enormous crop of prospective employees by searching for certain keywords on say, Linkedin, and getting that initial obstacle of searching for qualified workers out of the way as all necessary information can be found on their respective profiles. Otherwise, these social networking sites can be used as a means of engagement and interactions with friends, microblogging, marketing, and keeping up with the latest news and current events.

As expected of upgrades, these social networking technologies bring about quite the number of benefits. Going back to the positive aid that these platforms contributed to employers, the same can be said for those looking to be employed. Apps, such as Indeed, now exist where potential job listings are posted and qualified hopefuls can reach out and begin the networking process. Additionally, as mentioned by Hilary Stout in her article "Antisocial Networking?", Facebook has completely revolutionized the social landscape for introverts and those a bit more 'socially awkward' per se.  For example, the father of two kids, Robert Wilson, mentioned how Facebook has allowed his more timid son, Evan, to be able to converse and interact with friends online as opposed to staying shelled away from human interaction. Furthermore, high school Spanish teacher Beth Cafferty notes:  “I actually think they’re closer because they’re more in contact with each other — anything that comes to my mind, I’m going to text you right away,” (Stout, 4). 

However, as with many topics of debate, social networking sites are arguably a double-edged sword. Case in point: cyberbullying and lack of proper social etiquette. Due to the anonymity component of major social media sites, trolls feed on the mock-power they believe to have under the guise of a 'non-revealing' (namely, non-personal) username and profile picture. Unfortunately, differing from how they may behave in person, these Internet pests launch relentless attacks against anyone they so choose. Also, in regards to the lack of proper social etiquette being in the "dark side", Gary Small, "a neuroscientist and professor of psychiatry at U.C.L.A.", argues that the Generation Z cohort will lack the aptitude of necessary human interaction skills from spending all of their time on technology: “Even though young digital natives are very good with the tech skills, they are weak with the face-to-face human contact skills,” (Stout, 4).

Developmental-wise, a potential way these social media technologies may develop in the future could be some interface that makes access to content or data more-to-the-point and brief as we live in such a time-crunched society that's always on-the-go. Moreso, however, I see major evolutionary changes within the realm of cybersecurity. For example, a Microsoft researcher and a professor at Northwestern University found that “Overall, our data show that far from being nonchalant and unconcerned about privacy matters, the majority of young adult users of Facebook are engaged with managing their privacy settings on the site at least to some extent,” (Parry, 1). It can also be worthy to note that this was published around 2010, way before the privacy scandal Facebook that sent CEO Mark Zuckerberg to court.
