P2P

P2P sharing is when you can share or exchange anything usually through dropbox, venom, and even you tube. You can share files on your cell phone and tablet. Files can be shared between your peers but also it gives hackers the opportunity to get into your system. Most of these files are considered too large to send through email and must be shared through one of these outlets. P2P sharing is very easy. You can send a file from one computer to another without any hassle. In the article "Content producers should take advantage of P2P, not fear it" done by the NMA staff. The article tells us about how sites like Pirates Bay were used to download movies online without paying for them. They also mentioned, "It's not that we don't want to make money, but we'd rather spend time thinking what a new media age might look like full of advertisements."

Privacy

When it comes to New media, privacy and confidentiality should be on high alert. The internet is something which has been created to invite family, friends and even strangers into the lives of so many. Most of the issues with privacy and confidentiality are somehow connected to social media networks, apps and downloads just to name a few. Social media is such an open network even employers are able to find your information without you even knowing. Some say be careful what you post because your online personal information can get misused which can also affect important situations in your life. People post so many things on social media it's hard to keep up with what's real or not. Some people have experienced their pictures being stolen, their names being used and even had their homes robbed while out of town because of the flaws in privacy and confidentiality of new media. Privacy doesn't exist in social media and everyone needs to be aware and very cautious with things they put on social media. Once it's put out there, anyone can have access to it and the response to it may not be as beneficial to you as you may have hoped.

Advice

As a College student I feel it's very important for students to have access to specific departments at school without having to leave a message or be put on hold for long periods of time. If I were hired by Baruch College to use new media to improve the college, I would create a email server or phone number specifically for students who need immediate assistance regarding financial aid, registration and advisement. Students will have the option to email/text in the issue where staff will respond within a 15min. window. The response could be information directing you to the correct department, person or the answer to the information you requested.

Twitter

Twitter


Twitter, Blackboard and in class discussions vary in many ways. A Twitter discussion is very short and can go on for days maybe even weeks depending on whose responding. Your comment can get reposted as many times as people want to repost it. Your only allowed a few characters in a twitter discussion which means you post your most impactful thoughts and opinions.
A discussion on Blackboard never seems to get a quick response as twitter. Most students respond at various times which doesn't really have an impactful response. Since the time to respond is usually what ever is convenient for you, everyone just piggybacks off of what the last few people already said which can be boring and not interesting. 
An In-Class discussion is always very lengthy. Students are allowed to express themselves as much as possible. Your not limited to what you should say and everyone gives there own opinions and shares their ideas. There aren't any characters involved and your able to feel satisfied once the discussion has ended. Professors and students can go back and forth on their opinions regarding any topic.

Blog vs. Wiki

Blog vs Wiki

Blog and wiki, they similar when you publish it to a website, work with a group and everyone posts ideas, comments and their opinions . Most people use blogs to get information about personal interests and increase their knowledge on specific topics. Students who want to increase learning  most of them are using wikis to understand things and use the blog to explore what they want to learn or are learning. Wiki, is a collaborative online Group project filled with assignments and you are able to edit it as a group. Blog is usually one persons thoughts and ideas which can be commented on by anyone. Most comments are based on the thoughts of others who feel the need to critique your thoughts about a specific topic. Blogs are done individually and it's more personable. 

The article “How to use wikis for Business said that “Wikis are designed to facilitate the exchange of the information within and between teams.” The idea exchange not like before just face to face to record or write down, the variety ways in the internet can solve the time and area gap in order to communicate with others. 

How can blogs be used for collaboration and can you think a new use for a wiki that has not been done yet? Blogs can be used to collaborate when focusing on a new product or material. Each blog can focus on a specific area of the item and use their blog to create a buzz about the products benefits. Consumers can gain unlimited information about the product which can be beneficial to the company.

Audience response is important to the blog and product sales.  

Creativity

Creativity comes from within, it's usually the thoughts and ideas of someone who thinks outside the box. Someone who doesn't follow the crowd. New Media has allowed all the creative geniuses to showcase their unique creations to the world without having to go through to many stamps of approval 1st. Even though Us, ( the public) can be very judgmental at times, new media has found a way to either celebrate you or destroy you. Either way the message is clear

BLOG: Social Net'g

New Media Technology can be used to advertise company services and keep folks updated with changes. One of the benefits of new media, companies can have direct contact with customers by creating a public account on facebook where the public can write comments about company services and share ideas with eachother. The likes and dislikes of products being sold by the company can be useful information when making decisions about longterm services and products.  Futuristically speaking,  social media definitely has a  dark side. In the article  Facebook Privacy Is so Confusing Even the Zuckerberg Family Photo Isn't Private,  The Atlantic Wire, Greenfield, R.

The article "How Obama tapped into Social Networks, by Davis Carr, The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/10/business/media/10carr.html
talked about the brilliance behind the Obama camp. They utilized the social media network during his campaign. They were able to get young voters out to the polls and full access to email accounts and other private information of Obama supporters. According to the article, past presidents used different forms of media to win elections and communicate with supporters. But the Obama administration tapped into social media where lots of communication takes place on a daily basis and captured the attention of so many and kept in contact through emails and  posts. I myself was  gave up personal information to the Obama adminstration to stay updated with our soon to be President. Back then it didn't seem like a bad idea to receive an email regarding issues such as healthcare, voting, education and so on. The messages I received had value. It never sound as if he was begging me for something. It made me aware of things happening. The messages were very informative and personable. Social media has a way of giving you access to people you may have never spoken to in the past. Your able to find like minded  individuals with similar wants and needs.
New Media will be around for years to come. Everyday we discover a new ways to enhance  communication amongst friends and family all over the world. New apps are being creating and more people are starting blogs in areas which has an impact on the public. Topics which sparks an interest in the daily lives of many.
