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.

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...

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.

Blog about Twitter

I have been a part of several Blackboard and in-class discussion, but this was my first Twitter discussion.  There is a significant difference between the two, one being that you are limited to what you have to say.  For some people this is no big problem but if you have mastered the art of saying what you have to say in 140 characters or less.  For me the twitter discussion proved a little difficult but not impossible, after reading all the documents there was so much of information and knowledge and to make a solid argument with 140 characters was challenging.  Contrary to the Blackboard discussion which I believe I am comfortable with, for one I have the abundance of space to write and I can also connect with all my classmates. Finally, with both blackboard and Twitter once you create an entry or tweet you cannot edit it as opposed to in classroom discussion, where if you make a mistake you can correct yourself right away or the professor or a fellow classmate...
