Twitter

-

 First and foremost, a discussion is when a group of people share and exchange ideas of a certain topic. So the main difference between a Twitter discussion, BlackBoard discussion, and an in-class discussion is the medium in which it is used to discuss. On Twitter, anyone who sees the tweet can reply and join in the discussion. A BlackBoard discussion puts a small limit on that, because you can only join in the discussion only if you are registered in the class. Lastly, an in-class discussion puts the most limit, because you have to be live and present in the room to participate in the discussion. All 3 can have the same topic for discussion but its a matter of where and how the discussion is being hosted.

 I think a new type of "new media" that doesn't currently exist is virtual reality that uses all 5 senses. Virtual reality is fairly new and continually developing as technology gets better. And as of now, virtual reality only uses your eyes and ears. I think it would be cool to incorporate the other 3 senses (feel, taste, and smell). This way you can host things like cooking classes virtually. If we had this technology now, with the pandemic going on, it would be a much easier transition to virtual learning. I think something like this could be possible in the far future, but it would be interesting to see.

Creativity of New Media

Back in the summer of 2016, Drake has just dropped a new album called "Views." It was an instant hit, like many of his albums. However, what drew my attention was the album cover. A quick glance and you see the CN Tower. But if you look closer you see Drake sitting on top of the tower "viewing" over his city. So, one day during sunset, I went out to take a photo of the Verrazano bridge. And I thought it would be interesting to edit Drake sitting on top of the bridge looking over my city, with the sun right behind him almost giving off the effect as if he was glowing. In retrospect, he looks too big and disproportionate to everything else, but I still think it is a funny take on his album. Photo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6fEHH5-LqSFcklpZGctLWdMQXM/view

Social Networking

Ways that social networking can be used is in work, avocation, health/medical, games, and for purely social. Social networking can provide many benefits, one being job recruiting. Using sites like LinkedIn, recruiters have a easy way to sort out potential candidates to work for their company. Maureen Crawford-Hentz used LinkedIn looking for consumer product marketing and stumbled upon Alfred LaSpina, in which she reached out to and is now an employee of the company (Langfitt). Social networking, which comes to no surprise, has many privacy issues. Mark Zuckerbergs sister, Randi, posted a family photo which she thought was private, was retweeted by Vox Media marketing director that drew a lot of attention that Randi did not want (Greenfield). This shows the privacy issue that social networking comes with. I think in the future social networking technologies may move onto virtual reality (VR). I think this could be a possibility because the technology is getting better and maybe in the f...
