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.

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

Advice

A college is as best as it's students and the resources that it provides for them, aside from the high quality of teachers another terrific way to improve the college is through the implementation of new media to help assist the students through live chats. New Media can be incorporated into the different departments of the school such as Bursar, Advisement and Financial Aid offices. They can have an instant chat option where the students can connect with these offices and receive immediate assistance.  I work, and I know a lot of students work too and have families to take care of and it is difficult sometimes to take time out of our busy schedule to come into these offices.  Email no longer is the fastest and efficient way to communicate. I sent an email five days ago to the Bursar's Office and I called but I have yet to receive any response. With the implementation of live chats, students can get answers to simple or puzzling questions. ...
