Since the sudden burst of popularity of the internet, many things that could possible be thought up of have already been thought of in one way, shape, or form. That is why when wondering about the next new thing, it is hard to think of the next facebook, or the next twitter. That's why I feel that when I see the next new thing, I'm thinking more revolutionary.
What I see in the future is an improved version of the popular website, Yelp.com. The improved version will not be a revamp of the review system, or aesthetics, but rather the integration of the growing trend of 3D (and even 4D technology). When moving from a Web 2.0 era to a Web 3.0 era, information must be suited to our needs and prefereces, and what better way to have that than to include possible 4D technology. In the specific instance of yelp, that means the user will not be stuck with limited information and pictures. Through the integration of the new technology they will be able to see exactly what the inside of a restaurant looks from a 3D standpoint, and be able to smell and/or feel the food before the consumer makes a conscious decision about the restaurant.
A new media like this can have a huge impact in the rest of the new media technology, and I'm excited for the day this will be created.

P2P File Sharing
Ever since the evolution of the internet, there has been a creation of a P2P File Sharing platform. P2P file sharing stands for "peer-to-peer", which means exactly that. Your peers on the internet can share files with you that you need, or file sharing, and vice-versa. In many cases, the file sharing taking place is simply sharing a work that was done, a software that may be hard to find, or a way for users to collaborate to create one final piece. It offers the user unconventional ways to get access to what is needed more efficiently. However, it has also evolved into something negative. For example, the emergence of torrents have led way for users to pirate sensitive information / media, and share it to other people who are unwilling or unable to pay for these files by themselves. Such can be found through the pirating industry of music, movies, textbooks, and even sensitive financial data of companies.
Some of the known P2P file sharing companies are mediafire, megashare (which has been closed down), dropbox (using its link-sharing option), and googledrive (using its link-sharing option). Whether the use of such platforms may be, P2P file sharing has changed the ways that individuals approach, and view the internet and social media. Just like all aspects of social media, measures must be taken to ensure that the negative side effects are kept in check, and to make sure that a user's privacy is secure. This will allow for a more interactive and collaborative experience on the internet and new media.

Our Class Wiki - So Far
The class wiki is an exceptional place to share and create information for others to see. I have had a blast reading the content created by my fellow peers, and contributing as well. I have personally contributed information to the following three wiki topics:
- New Media and Sports: I helped add some information that I knew myself, that was not already in the blog. This includes the maintaining of professionalism on the social media platform by sports figures, the increasingly popular phenomenon of March Madness and the bracket challenge, and the advertisement transition from solely television to online streaming platforms.
- New Media in Social Networking: I made sure there were no ridiculous claims, and made several minor edits here and there. I also added a new type of social networking section to include blogger and tumblr, through the blogging platforms. I noted the uniqueness of blogs, and made sure that people know that blogging social networking can include the elements of several other types of social networking.
- New Media and Healthcare: I felt that this wiki was a bit short and added what I could on the topic. I added the use of Yelp when deciding on professionals to use, as well as the new Healthcare company that is emerging called Oscar.
I look forward to seeing the final product of the class wiki, and am excited on learning new things!

Advice to Baruch College
Using new media to improve Baruch college was a great idea, and I am here to help!
First, I think Baruch should be using new media to update students more frequently. Being in college, most college students have a Facebook or a Twitter, so why not use those platforms to inform students of upcoming events, weather statuses, and school opening/closing statuses? These students will already be on these platforms, so they will not mind it as long as we don't excessively spam updates!
Second, use new media to involve students more in campus decisions! Especially regarding USG! The whole idea of USG is to suggest and implement what the students want, so why not use new media to get a better idea of what it is that is wanted. Using polls, sharing options, and retweeting, it will be easier for USG to get a better idea of what is wanted. And also more time effective!
Lastly, allow students to post how they feel about Baruch. People want to be acknowledged a heard, so allowing them to share what they feel about the college, and having new media staff members respond is a first step.
These are a few of many possible extensions of new media to improve Baruch College. To keep the concept going, I am open to taking suggestions!

Privacy & Confidentiality
The concept of privacy and confidentiality are interesting when you bring in how it is affected by new media. As most of us already know at this point, most of the things we post are no longer private information as soon as it reaches the internet. Sure we can restrict settings and who can view it on our social media sites, but most platforms have additional terms and conditions... which most of us never read. They say that once a picture is posted through their platform, it essentially becomes their property, and they can keep such pictures for as long as they want. They do the same thing for our posts or status updates, if applicable. This being said, I think it would be wise of us to apply the same privacy and confidentiality rules in our personal lives, to our social media lives. That is, limit who you allow to see what you post, and limit who can share the information you divulge. Ultimately, you are taking a big risk, but it is always wise to try your best to prevent further damage.

Blog: Creativity and New Media
What is important to note here is that a virtual character has already been created to represent me. This unique character will represent me in the virtual world for all situations until I decide to change it.
The usage of the virtual world is quite fun!
BLOG: CREATIVTY
The evolution of social media has done wonders to the creative capacity of the world. Because of the usage of social media, the artistic explosion throughout the world has increased dramatically because there was a new way to spread one's old artwork without the necessity of expensive advertising. Through the possibility of "viral" marketing, one can come to gain many followers in a short amount of time. And even without viral marketing, one can still gradually accumulate followers to support their artistic endeavors.
Many of the creativity promoted by social media can be found on the sites of YouTube, various blogging sites, and even FaceBook. Many people have found ways to create a living for themselves off of the social media provided by YouTube. YouTubers like nigahiga, PewDiePie, and collegehumor decided to focus all their efforts on creating videos of whatever they wanted to provide viewers a source of entertainment. Eventually the following grew larger because of word of mouth - essentially free marketing. Now, these individuals are making a living off creating videos of choices for viewers to life, all because of YouTube fostering their creativity.
Additionally, blog sites have many ways of fostering creativity. Blog sites can be used to share advice about anything at all, can be used to share food recipes, artistic drawings, and more. These bloggers can then gain followers based on the interest of the viewers.
Lastly, FaceBook has recently become a huge component of creativity in social media. Now that pages can be made of anything imaginable, that sets the floor for basically anything anyone wants to express. Through a quick search using FaceBook's search function, their page can be found in a matter of seconds.
The bottom line is, social media has definitely revolutionized the world in terms of available displays of individual creativity. From up and coming music producers and singers, to possibly the next Michelangelo, through social media the next famous person is just a few virtual clicks away.

BLOG: Modeling Reality With Virtual Worlds
With the creation of the virtual worlds, the landscape of social connectivity as we know it can change drastically. The creation of a virtual world allows individuals to share their creativity and thoughts with others in a meaningful way, offering ways to socially connect with others.
For example, minecraft is a gaming virtual world that allows an individual to share with others their architectural and creative view of a landscape. Through communication, they can share with others how they envision the world can be built, and why it is so, creating a connection with another person through the virtual world.
In other cases, a virtual world can be used for hypothetical training and stimulus. The government already has such a program running to help prepare soldiers for certain conditions and precautions. By creating the virtual world to interact with, the soldiers are able to explore the surroundings of an area before actually going into the area physically. Pretty neat stuff.
And in a completely different spectrum of virtual worlds, people can catch up with old friends and families through a more engaging way than a video-conference or phone call. So many different dimensions can be expressed through a virtual world than can be expressed in other traditional mediums.
Virtual worlds has an interesting way of fostering creativity. The main thing is that people really feel like they can establish a good connection and vibe with others through the virtual world. This in turn allows them to work together more cohesively, and have the thoughts build off one another. It is no secret that creativity is generated easier between individuals who have a sense of connection between one another.
In the future I think virtual worlds will be the new market to be tapped. Seeing as how it can literally be created to substitute any social interaction, I think it will be a topic of extreme interest for nearly stagnant technology companies. I can see it being used for educative purposes, and even therapeutic services (helping to get over social anxiety). The educative aspects to such a growth is definitely intriguing, however I fear that the next generation of kids will start reverting to be more socially awkward seeing that they might one day live in a world where virtual interaction is more prominent than physical interaction. Let's hope there's a balance to be found!

Social Networking Sites
Hello fellow bloggers,
I recently visited 4 different social networking sites and wanted to compare my first impressions of each! The four sites are: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and Tumblr. Here we go!
Facebook: I have actually used Facebook for years. My impression is that it is a great way to establish social connections with friends, or people you haven't actually met yet formally. It is a great way to share thoughts or feelings through status updates, profile pictures, and cover photos. It also lets your friends see what you've been up to through regular picture uploads, or 'photos of you'.
Myspace: One of the pioneers in social networking along with Xanga in my opinion! Myspace was definitely cool, and ahead of its time. Myspace design scripts are definitely unique for social networking because it lets the users be more expressive when sharing thoughts or posts! Colorful backgrounds? Check. Trailing mouse designs? Check. Automatic music player? Check. Fancy digital clocks? Check. Whatever you can think of for your Myspace design, there's probably already a a script for! The creepy thing is the ability to check who has viewed your Myspace though.
Twitter: Definitely a new concept! Allows users to have conversations through #tweets. Unique limitation to 140 characters, forces users to be concise on what they want to communicate. The use of hashtags definitely has #revolutionized #socialmedia though. #twitter #hashtag #abuse. It seems like Twitter is not staying stagnant either, as they look to expand their platform to be more versatile!
Tumblr: Different from the rest, being a blog site. Aims to be more private, yet still is social media through the use of followers. Like Myspace, it offers a customizable background for the blog, and offers twitter-like #hashtags. Overall, it's the concept of an open diary. I like it!
How are your social media experiences? What different social networking sites do you guys use?!

Blog About Twitter
I have to say, after my initial with Twitter I was utter intrigued to this new concept. In Twitter people around the world can pretty much engage in a conversation through "tweets", which is limited to 140 characters. This sets a very different type of conversation than a blackboard discussion or a class discussion because you are limited to what you say. Therefore, more thought is required into what you input to the conversation to make sure you stay within the limited characters. In a blackboard discussion, or class discussion you have no limits other than time limits. Also, in twitter you can unite with others posting about the same topics through hashtags, which pretty much is the best way to read through the conversation of a certain topic. Today is my first time using Twitter, but it seems it will not be my last!

Social Networking
With the evolution of the Internet, a new world has emerged: Social Media. Basically setting up ways for all Internet users to communicate with one another through various online mediums, social networking is starting to become an integral part to our society. And like everything else, there are pros and cons to this prevalence in society.
Social Networking can have many usages. First, it can simply be used for the purposes of social interactions. Websites like Facebook and Twitter allow its users to communicate emotions or messages to friends or followers through its 'status' updating capabilities, allowing users the chance to 'be there' in each moment. Yet through these very same platforms, others may use it to advertise products and services, and even search out potential candidates for various job or service positions. In a way social networking has allowed its users a new way for instant and effective, electronically written communication. From being a world that only allowed communication face to face, social media has shrunk the world to the point where it does not matter how distant you are from another person. As long as an internet connection is available, they are only seconds away from having a conversation. And because of this, it benefits society with these technologies because people can be more time efficient with instantaneous communications, while being able to be utilized for bigger tasks like advertising.
However there is definitely a dark side. Because the Internet and social media is so huge, it is very hard to stay hidden from unwanted viewers. The whole issue of privacy, and to whom content belongs to once it is posted online is always a subject that causes controversy. Just like there are beneficial uses to social media, there are also detrimental side effects. For example, people like to use social media to carry out scams online, through the use of social media the growth of cyber bullying has emerged, and even using social media to stalk unsuspecting individuals.
The Social media is new, and it definitely has long ways to go. The benefits are definitely there; real time communication has unlimited potential. In the future it can be used to help find items, find missing persons, or even plan events for communities. What must be remedied is the detrimental side effects that are present now. Filter out users that do not contribute, or are using the platforms for malicious intents. If that happens, I think the landscape of our society will drastically change. There will be less time spent for experimenting or thinking, and more time for doing.

Blog vs Wiki
In today's world, blogs and wikis are prevalent on the internet. A huge portion of the information on the webs can be found through both forms of internet writings. However, it is important to note the distinctions between the both of them.
Wikis are defined as a form of collaboration software that is a database that could "work". That means that the database can actually be used to perform work through the constant editing of the information. It allows anyone with access to the wiki to edit the wiki as desired, to update information and collaboratively create a body of information. There are multiple authors to a wiki, and the information is constantly changing. This can pose certain issues for very open wikis, as shown in a well known wiki known as Wikipedia. There are constantly immature individuals who edit blogs for laughs, misconstruing information as a hobby. Often, the edits to the original blog completely destroys all traces of hard work put into it. In other cases, the edits are completely inappropriate. This has led to the evolution of Wikipedia, since its reputation was being tarnished. Now the wiki has many more additional functions, such as indicating the last person to update the wiki, and an option to restore past versions of the wiki.
On the other hand, Blogs are similar in usage but have very key distinctions. First off, blogs only have one author to a piece of information. Through collaboration, people with access to the blog can post comments to further continue the conversation of the information trying to be communicated. However unlike the wiki, the original blog can never be edited by anyone other than the author. In one example, a person started a blog about his own neighborhood as a way to help others find their ways around the neighborhood. However, it gradually evolved into a blog that allowed a neighborhood to collaboratively gain traction against the criminal doings happening in their front doors. The collaboration through the blog eventually led to the arrests of local drug dealers, showing the impressive capacity and power of blogs.
As shown, blogs can be used to offer tips to those in need of advice, or can even expand to help catching criminals. All it takes is someone to initiate the collaboration, and the rest is simply collaborative input through comments to the original blog by its followers.
In the future, wiki can definitely expand in usage. I think in the future, wikis can possibly be used by education systems to provide cheaper and more expansive information to its students. If done correctly with the right moderation it is possible that the future can host educative institutions without the need for textbooks, perfect for the lower-middle to lower class families that carry a huge burden with every textbook purchase. This in turn can inspire future generations to actively expand their knowledge, and allow motivated individuals to continue their pursuit of information.
It is exciting what the use of the internet has done to the landscape of the world. I can't wait to see where it takes us, and to experience it first hand.
