Our Class Wiki - So Far

I started my wiki with new media is our new culture. But in the beginning of my term paper I changed my topic to New Media and Health Care, which I found more interesting then other topics. This paper shows how new media is reshaping the health care system. Nowadays, many doctors prefer using new media communication tools to communicate with patients. For many, “Hello Health” is one of the newly built systems that will replace the old ones in the U.S. There is no doubt that new media will change the health care system and will begin a new era for health care. I hope to share such a information to my peers to gain knowledge.
 

BLOG: P2P

File sharing is the usage of or capability to transmit files or documents from one computer to another computer through a network system or from the internet. P2P stands for peer-to-peer sharing, which is allow the user to access the digital media, such as books, musics, movies, and so on. It helps searchers to find desire content. Which can be big issue to the issuer, developer, or the provider. It came to attention when people started using P2P file to find free copies movies that are still in the theaters. The NY Times published an article about digital pirates winning battle with studios, which shows many example of P2P sharing. They mentioned, "using a peer to peer technology called BitTorrent, required patience and modicum of sophistication by users. Now, users don't even have to download." User will be able to watch new released movies, unlimited TV shows.

BLOG: PRIVACY

The time Internet and New Media was invented ever since privacy and confidentiality became major issue in the world. The major issue is, once some one put the private information out then their is no way to erase it, unless the founder delete the information himself. Also, it can be accessed anonymously or using pseudonymous, no doubt people can be prone to the world. So it is very easy to obtain information without being anonymous and pseudonymous. There are many parties with interests in activities that occur online, searching information about people's personal information. So it is a place where you want to be private and confidential, yet you can't because provider them self monitoring all the information that has been provided through New Media. 

BLOG:ADVICE

First able, I would start with criticizing the Baruch College in usage of New Media. I would recommend, the college should allow the students to access electronic device, so student stay connected with professor through New Media in class time as well. Some students are really shy and others might not be able to speak as well as they write.  If the school allow Twitter, group chat in Facebook, or other kind of New Media to express their feeling thought through new media then may be those shy and self-conscious students will have the chance to participate in the class. I remember reading an article in this class about a professor encourage students to pass notes in class via Twitter. The article also mentioned it was encouraging the student to raise the topic out loud. Off-course few will embezzle this opportunity, but the good students will always do the right thing.
