Creativity

The combination of technology and its collaboration with new media has made the far reach idea of creativity possible to anyone no matter their means.  The article, Twitter Serves Up Ideas from Its Followers, shows how with the combination of technology and new media where creativity is birthed and fostered.  Before this article, I thought that these ideas, the creativity behind them were fostered by the consumers but really it was the producers or these big creators who come up with these ideas, turns out that I was not entirely correct.  New media allows us to dig into that creative side of us as we explore ideas and connect with different people on the different platform. 
     Creativity is one of the 5 C's of new media, this is a fitting example and proof of how it is implemented.  With the resources available we can communicate and also collaborate with people all over the world who we were not able to connect with before these advancements in technology. For instance, a person from the United States may have an idea for a virtual world game and does not have the necessary skill set to create or draw nor the extra time to take out of work, they can connect with someone from another part of the world who has that skill set and work together on their project.

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.

Next New

The United States Department of Transportation reported that in 2016 there were over three thousand fatalities due to distracted drivers in the entire country. Technology has become so addictive that we cannot put our phones away while driving. We do not acknowledge the problem until a tender age victim is involved or the accident resulted in the death of someone close. Instead of waiting for something so brutal and fatal to happen we should approach the problem head-on. An innovative technology to help prevent this would be an app or factory installed program on our phones that stop text messages to and from the phone. The program/app will be able to calculate speed and will disable texting until the vehicle has come to a stop. There are some kinks to workout but a technology such as this can help reduce texting and driving accidents.  https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/usdot-releases-2016-fatal-traffic-crash-data
