I have chosen to to my topic on The Analysis of Social Media: Does it have more of a positive or a negative effect on us? I believe it plays a very big part in our everyday lives from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep. For some it has helped change their lives completely in good ways and bad ways but the question is which one rules the other. As we all know social media gives us the freedom to stay in touch with people when ever and where ever, helps make any businesses connect to customers and be known, but then there is the other side as well, such as anyone sharing a personal document or picture without your consent, someone can bully another person online, and lastly anyone can spread fake news that can really impact the person. This is why I will be talking about the positive and negative side of social media and giving examples of how it really effected normal people like us, and to understand what happened afterwards because of social media.This will help understand which side has more effect on us than the other. This is a brief summary of my project and I will go into more details later on.

"new media" that doesn't currently exist. One new media application that should exist is an app which would be to scan and do a self checkout. As Philip Zimbardo said "Depending on whom you ask, time is money, time is love, time is work, time is play, time is enjoying friends, time is raising children, and time is much more. Time is what you make of it". Living in NYC especially we barely even have time to play, or spend time with our loved ones. To make things worse we spend a lot of waiting in lines. We can't always avoid purchasing items online. One way or the other we have to go to stored to purchase items such as groceries or clothes, just because we prefer to actually have that experience to go in person. Now, if there was an app that could do a self checkout by scanning items from our phone and purchasing it, we could save so much time. Waiting in lines for a cashier or the self checkouts they have in some stored like Target always have long li

HW Creativity

New media has created endless creativity for everyone. We might think only designers, artists, and photographers are the people who can bring creativity to something but when we think about it, it actually is everyone who uses all these different new media technologies.  According to acuitytraining.co.uk, "these new technologies helped make it  easier to bring creative minds and ideas closer and take those ideas further at the same time. This mixing of technology and creativity has brought innovative new ideas and avenues through which people can express themselves". There are many new medias that help you to be creative which are Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Youtube, photo/video editors, Virtual Realities, and many other programs. We might think its only a few programs that help us be creative but its actually endless. We use Youtube to make different videos whether it's about cooking, funny memes, comedy shows, music videos and more. We use also use Facebook to be creativ

Blog: Privacy

In this post, discuss how the issues of privacy and confidentiality are related to new media. Privacy Issues arise everyday from one person to another, if they are using new media.The three social media networks that are most widely used are Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. Such highly popular social networking sites are used for the gathering and exchange of information by the public, professionals and students. With one click personal information can be shared such as address, name, phone number, friends and relatives informations and many more for the spammers, hackers, and other online criminals to target someone. We may ask ourselves why are these scammers and hackers so interested in new media sites such as Facebook, and Twitter? well, spreading viruses, malware and scams is a far more efficient way than more conventional email spam. People prefer to trust their social media friends to get updates they receive. Without thinking twice, they are more likely to se
