Blog: Wiki So Far

-

In terms of my contributions on the class wiki so far, I have added a few paragraphs of content and uploaded an image. In addition to adding content directly, I have been gathering research on certain topics on the wiki that I want to further expand on. The page that I have edited is the New Media Food, Beverage and Hospitality Industry under the Amazon Go section. Under that section, I added a more detailed explanation of the technology and experience of the Amazon Go stores by providing specific details. I also edited the existing content by fixing the syntax, grammar and tense. Additionally I have also added an image for the New Media in Social Networking page to demonstrate the adverse impact that social media can have on one’s self image. The image captures how the perfect images on those social networking platforms can drain a person’s belief in themselves.  


In terms of further contributions, I am continuing my research on the advantages of new media in education and business. In order to build my research I am looking at various scholarly articles that can provide useful information. In addition, I am doing further research on the new Netflix’s features in order to add on for the New Media in Entertainment page. In general, I am also searching through the wiki pages to find topics on which I can further elaborate on and edit any content as I go.

Creativity and New Media

  In order to show my creativity using new media I have posted below screenshots of my personalized Pinterest boards for home decoration and hair style inspiration. By using Pinterest, I am able to gather all my inspiration for various sources into one easily accessible platform. I am able to create unique collages of ideas based on my “aesthetic.” In fact, I have the ability to continue adding or even deleting “pins” (posts) as my preferences change. Whenever I want to get some new ideas on how I can decorate my room, for example, I would look up “minimal room decor ideas” in the search function. As a result, I would get an endless page of “pins” by other Pinterest users that relate to the topic I searched up. If I find any posts that I like and want to place it onto my own vision board I would simply “add” the post onto its respective board. On Pinterest I have creative control over my own account. Therefore, I can create “mashups” of ideas that do not normally fit into the stand...

Blog: Next New

A proposal for a new type of “new media” would be to further enhance the capabilities of the virtual worlds. Currently, a virtual world platform creates a computer simulated environment. However, this new type would create a virtual reality based on the series of digital photographs that users are able to upload onto the platform. For example, a user can upload their personal photographs from their recent hiking trip to Bear Mountain. The technology would then be able to create a simulated environment based on the scanned photographs. In the virtual world, the user has the opportunity to create their own personal avatars and converse with other users using the chat function. There will even be a feature that allows users to initiate video calls with one another using their avatars instead of turning on their cameras. Each user’s virtual environment would look different based on how they choose to customize it. At the same time each user will have the option to allow others to join the...

Blog: Advice

  If hired by Baruch College, I would recommend that new media should be implemented both within and outside the classroom. The first recommendation would be to create a wiki page for all the majors within the 3 schools (Zicklin, Weissman, and Marxe). The wiki page would encompass all the necessary information regarding particular majors such as which classes to enroll in, which minors are compatible with that major, the GPA requirements, etc. There can be individual hyperlinks that direct students to pages that provide information about the major itself, the career opportunities and much more. In addition, the wiki would allow students to collaboratively share their experiences in particular classes, constantly update recent job/internship opportunities available and overall be able to build on each other’s knowledge. For example, a user can edit the accounting major wiki page to post an update that since the tax laws have changed, the older version of the textbook recommended pre...
