HW Creativity

New Media fosters creativity because it exposes you to new things and ideas. Rather than just having the ideas given to you, you have the freedom to take those ideas and create another type of masterpiece with it. In the article 1+1+1=1 The new math of mashups, it talks about how creative individuals would create mashups of many different songs and just put it all together based on their enjoyment of music. If they liked the rap part of one song and the the acapella of another song, they just mash it up and voila, it's a new song. It's not only for the music part of creativity, this goes for everything. It just depends on what they are exposed to and how they can manipulate the things that they have been exposed to, to create a new piece of artwork.

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.

Blog: Next New

After thinking for a while, a new type of media would be pretty hard to come up with. If it were that easy and possible, I would be a millionaire right now. But, a new type of media that does not exist right now is some sort of virtual type of communication. Whereas people would communicate through voice or video online but if there was some sort of way to communicate through an online virtual where you are programmatically there where it seems real. Sort of like virtual reality, being able to communicate with someone from across the world in just seconds.

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.
