I think the newest cool thing that has just come out is "Facebook Live." People are live broadcasting big events and moments in their lives. Big events that happen, when people are there, are able to go live and share their times with their facebook friends.
I also really enjoy the snapchat geotags. I think it is so amazing that you can go different places in the world and those tags you can put on your photos are only available there.
I think within some time, people will be able to be represented by holograms so it will seem like 2 people will be able to meet together in a more physical form. When I was growing up, I never thought that there would be any video chatting, now its completely normal. This will be so interesting so watch develop.

Our Class Wiki - So Far
I plan to add many different aspects of research to the WIKI. The sections I will add too are P2P, YouTube, Photography, Politics, and entertainment. I feel like the information I have learned from this course will help me to add to those sections specifically.

Privacy
In this post, discuss how the issues of privacy and confidentiality are related to new media
There are so many things related to privacy and confidentiality and new media. People are putting their whole lives out into the open and no one is really completely private anymore. People are hacking into other people lives and making fake profiles for them. People can steal confidential information and use it to steal credit cards and creating fraud. With more and more platforms of new media arising, people are putting all of their information out there which makes it so easy for people to access your life and privacy.

Advice
You are hired by the College to use new media to improve the College. What are some suggestions you would make using new media?
There are many ways the BC is not using new media. They could make more interesting newsletters, include photos and other things to get people excited. Also, I learned today about all of the different ways that we are not using the media that BC offers to us because we are not informed about it. Such as the electronic databases at the library. We could also do more internet interactive things to make our school be a more exciting place. We should upgrade our technology in the classroom to smartboards and make our learning be more beneficial.

Creativity and New Media
I created an avatar of myself for an online persona with the bitmoji app. He is currently dressed up for halloween and in a pirate costume that he like to wear sometimes when he is feeling frisky. He is a cartoon version of myself that I can send to people with different messages. Today he sates "Go Vote" since the election is coming up. You pick everything about him down to his hair color. And when there are movies and other things coming out, they let you dress up in outfits of the moves to promote them.
Here he is!
Here he is!
Creativity
New Media is fostering creativity because people have more access to media than ever before. People see different things that inspire them to create things of their own. Wether it is music, film, videos, make up artists, visual art, or even architecture. People are able to take anything these days and twist it around and make it their own.
Just like the article about how disney tolerates a rap parody. It seems funny that some group would take something as innocent as disney music and characters and make it a parody, but people like it. They are inspired by the music and wanted to make it their own. Copyright has been pretty lenient on mash-ups and parodies, the article states.
