Creativity and New Media

For my creative post, I decided to upload a short video to YouTube. I was on my way to Baruch, when I decided to record some of the sights and sounds of the NYC Subway system.

    Youtube is a great form of self expression, including abstract art.

Next New

As New Media continues to evolve, I believe that a new type of new media will be something that is the most personal to each and every person that uses it. It would be something like Snapchat or Instagram, but instead of it being on your phone, it would be in real life. What I mean by this is that the next new media invention could be a personalized screen that appears in front of you, similar to something out of the Star Trek movies or Black Panther. It would be a personalized screen in front of your face where you could swipe through pictures or videos. You could also walk around with this screen in front of you and capture real-time video (even though there would probably have to be safety precautions so you don't run into other people). I don't know what it would be called, but it could have the word "now" in the title so that it would be focused on being in the moment.

P2P

File sharing is when you can gain access to digital files such as documents, videos and electronic books, among other things. P2P is known as Peer-to-Peer file sharing. According to the article titled, "Peers Find Less Pressure Borrowing From Each Other", Peer-to-Peer sharing can be a very efficient way to share documents relating to money. The article describes a system where investors give money to fund loans. Companies such as Lending Club and Prosper have done this well over the past several years. Another example is BitTorrent. According to the New York Times article titled, "Digital Pirates Wining Battle With Studios", it is a site where users can access free entertainment content like movies and tv shows through streaming. What P2P file sharing sites do is create direct access for people to any items or things they want, and then they allow people to share those items/things directly to their fellow peers, and it's a very cheap option to use.

Advice

If I were to be hired by Baruch College, I would make some improvements to the new media being used at the school. What I would do is add a personal help account to each New Media outlet such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. What I mean by this is, for each social media account, I would always make sure that there is an account where all it posts is answers to students' questions. The question is answered with a public post, tweet/retweet, or snap. That way, answers to questions can reach multiple students rather than just one student in some sort of direct message. This is important because other students might have the same question. I would also make sure that the school uses YouTube to effectively provide videos about things such as a tour of the school's campus, the path towards graduation in the three schools and payment options. Overall, I would make sure the New Media outlets provide as much information about Baruch College as possible.
