Eyal Goldberg New Media

A new type of New Media that doesn't exist that I think should be out there are medical Wikis that can only be edited by the Top cure researchers in the world and they should add and edit information on the most harmful diseases out there, and there search results for cures. This way researchers from all around the world who theoretically don't have to know each-other or ever meet in person, can together find cures to the deadliest diseases known to man. This page should also have VIEWING content only for the worlds population. This way the people can be educated on these diseases and know where our Researchers and doctors are on finding cures.

File Sharing is the practice of or ability to transmit files from one computer to another over a network or the internet. P2P File Sharing allows users to access media files such as books, music, etc using a P2P software program that searches for other connected computers on the same network. Some examples of P2P file sharing are websites like Limewire, or Bearshare. Which allowed you to share digital files containing music or movies and share them with a computer in the same network. In the article Youtube alters copyright algorithms will manually review some claims" says: "Under US cipyright law, google is not required to deploy copyright filters. But rights holders are embracing it as a way to make money online. Even Viacom, which is suing youtube for 1 billion for copyright violations, uses Content ID and its lawsuit covers alleged copyright violations before the filters deployment," This article is speaking about youtube's algorithm/ Copyright issue and ho...

Privacy and Confidentiality are often confused. Privacy is:  is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively. While confidentiality is:  the state of keeping or being kept secret or private. These days the word "privacy" with the internet triggers debate since Eric Snowden leaked reports. The internet alone and all of these social media platforms like facebook, instagram... have all of the information that you put out there even messages. We trust/hope that these platforms remain Confidential when dealing with our private information, but that goes to say that nothing on the internet is private even if a post was deleted it can always be retrieved. 

Attached is the my snapchat bitmoji avatar. On the Snapchat social media app platform instead of seeing my picture next to my name you see my bitmoji. My bitmoji represents me on snapchat. So whenever I post a story or send my friends a photo or a message my friends will see my avatar pop up.

New Media fosters creativity because it gives the individual the right to write anything he/she pleases in the way that he/she pleases. With Old Media, if I worked for a newspaper company, Theyll tell me what stories I need to write, how many words to put on a page, which column i'm in etc. It gives the writer very room for creativity. Thats why everybody has there specific newspaper that they like to read and there specific news channel they want to watch. However with new media the writers of blogs and Wikis are free to do as they please. A writer can decide to write in any form or style she wishes, whether they are trying to persuade you with your opinions, or just give you facts with nobody over them editing or telling them what right and wrong. The writer has the freedom to be as creative as they want. In the article "1+1+1=1 it speaks about how new digital media has led people to create there own music mashups.

Virtual Worlds are made up worlds that try and represent reality. The idea that technology has came this far already is just mind boggling. I've tried out VR games before and I must say the experience was unreal. A massive pro I see with VR is active gaming is that we all see kids growing up today glued to the technology put infront of them instead of playing outside. It used to be that our parents would have to yell and drag us back inside from playing outside, these days parents are begging there kids to go outside. You cant blame these kids that it got way easier for kids to play basketball when playing on a couch with a controller in your hand. However thats why in my opinion I feel like VR can bring some good and create video games or VR games that make the kids move around and actually be active because of the kids are going to be playing the video games anyways lets atleast make them active while doing so. Another positive that I read from the article "Naughty Auties Ba...

After visiting and using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and snapchat. I'd have to say that even though I do agree with the fact that facebook is being taken by the older generation by article "Twitter Winning Teens As Parents Flood Facebook" I still believe it is my favorite social media platform. To be honest I get most of my news updates from Facebook, and even watch Facebook videos more often than youtube videos. Facebook allows you to do anything from saying hello to a friend and renting an apartment off Facebooks marketplace. Since Instagram and snapchat are the newest platforms they are the most used ones by children and teens. Although instagram is very similar to Facebook (since facebook owns it), to me it's just the #2 just because you can do a ton more on facebook. I was never like Bonne Smalley from the article "A Day with 400 Tweets Starts with simplicity" I was never a fan of just tweeting random tweets or following or Retweeting random accounts....

In today's world almost every business has begun or is in the middle of incorporating social media to its business. Social Media can boost your business from the ground up. I can even attest to this fact since I have created my own business using the Instagram the social media platform. If it wasn't for the powers of social media and blogging I wouldn't be able to run my company. Social media blogging also allows you to advertise yourself/ your brand on the internet. However the Internet and social media can be used in a negative way as well. Ever walk into a restaurant and see two people sitting on there phones. Social Media can be very addicting. Social Media can also be used in negative ways with bulling cyber bullying is one of the nations top concerns for child safety. In Is my Space Good for Society? Freakonomics Quarom Stephen Dubner talks about his concerns with social media by stating all of his concerns with bullying, addiction, and even time consumption most indi...

Both Blogs and Wikis are forms of New Media that both have similarities and differences. To me the main difference between blogs and Wikis are that Blogs usually are more Personal and opinion based with one author while Wikis are used more to spread education and can have multiple different authors. Another key difference between the two forms of social media are the way their pages receive feedback. In a blog its normal to receive comments, while in a Wiki people usually just edit the page and fill in their input. In the article “An Internal Wiki That’s Not Classified” by Noam Cohen. I found it very interesting how the US Government decided to run a wiki focusing on foreign affairs. When I first read this I thought it would just be chaotic since anybody can edit a wiki. But as I continued reading I learnt that you would need a user name and password to edit the wiki. This made me think of an idea for a special Wiki to be made for politicians fo...
