Blog: Wiki So Far

What I can do to help our class wiki is include information relating to my topic: The Impacts of YouTube on Society. When I was doing my research paper, I found an abundance of information that relates to my topic. Each of us in this class have contributed something that makes each of our post unique. They are all different and all talk about a different type of new media and a topic retaining to new media in some way or another. In general term, what I have added is the my personal opinions and thoughts on specifics topics. New media has changed and will be different in ten years, we can refer back to this wiki and see how new media has changed.

Blog: Advice

If I were to be recently hired by Baruch College to be apart of the new media team, some of the advice I would give is to use every single type of social media out there. Even the ones that are not as popular. Then give people incentives to share and promote the college. For example, a voucher for a free lunch or something similar to that sort so that more people will be inclined to help promote Baruch College. Another thing I would do is help the college utilize new media to help make the college student's lives easier. Things that are dedicated specifically to things in relevance to assist them. For example, if they wanted to buy or sell textbooks, help use new media to develop a tool to make it easier to assist the student in buying or selling textbooks.

Blog: Privacy

There are many cons to new media and media in general but one of the major cons would be the privacy issues that people have to face when using these types of medias. Like for example, instagram allows you to make your photos private but others may still be able to see through your photos by looking through someone else's phone. On new media, you are never really secure in terms of privacy because the world wide web is public for everyone. Having websites like google and yahoo allow people to search your profile up if you have made a facebook or instagram or anything that is related to your name. New media doesn't allow for much privacy and that is one of the downsides of new media. It makes everything available for the public to see.
