Creativity and New Media

I am not an outdoorsy person or someone who would literally get their hands soiled. So this class I took the liberty to do something that I would never do in person which is pottery. Most of the times I am very impatient and a little hyper, so pottery is pretty much out of the picture. My inspiration for this project was things that I would furnish my apartment with. I went with simple colors nothing too bright or popping like grey and blue my favorite color. Two pieces would fit perfectly in my living room to go with my light or greyish sofa.

Social networking sites

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and WhatsApp, allow its user to collect via real-time with each other no matter the time, place or occasion you have happening.  These sites allow us to make new friends, share too much of our lives that shouldn’t be shared, follow and support important causes, get live updates such as traffic or MTA.  Twitter, I found a little more changeling but only when I have, much to say and I am limited to a specific number of characters.  But other than that, it is very engaging, and it allows you to have a discussion/debate on anything that catches your attention.  WhatsApp is one of my favorites, I use it daily to communicate with anyone of my contacts.  One feature that I really like and that drew my attention to it that I could call people from my home country and communicate in real time.  Facebook is another great site for making ‘friends’ from all over the world.  It allowed me to reconnect with my old High School friends an...

Social media, a negative repercussion of being social

Social media has become like a six sense for everyone, and I mean everyone, from my 3-year-old nephew right down to my 60-year-old uncle. The objective of my paper is to examine the negative repercussion of social media throughout different platforms upon being social. My stand is that it is not necessary that an individual is anti-social from the use of social media but how does it affect them when it comes to interpersonal communication when you must log off if any of us ever do. The areas to be examined will be but not limited to family, education, workplace and psychological. With the use of firsthand experiences and published articles, I will attempt to establish a concrete connection between social media and its negative effects of being social.  

Blogs Vs. Wikis

Both blogs and wikis are new media technologies which are used to communicate.  However, there are a few contrasts between blogs and wikis.  Blogs are managed by an individual or a group of people and the content can be commented on by anyone.  It allows for user interaction, you can share your comments, suggestions or criticism.  Whereas Wikis are generated and maintain and can be edit by anyone who has access to it.  It shares background and other vital information about a specific subject.  Both blogs and wikis allow users to connect in ways that were not possible some years ago.  Because of their key features, it allows both to be well used and joins perfectly into today’s networked world.  The article,  An Internal Wiki That’s Not Classified,  shows how wikis have made such an impact in the world of new media that even that State Department has adopted it can create their own ‘Diplopedia’. Collaboration is a very important elem...
