Creativity and New Media

A very popular form of new media fostering creativity, is the internet creating challenges that people across the world participate in. Social media stars, celebrities, are all commonly known to be spreading such viral trends which become challenges that their viewers or fans participate in. Dance challenges are quite prominently shared in social media, with the simple addition of a hashtag and the name of the challenge on your post, allows you to view and connect with other people who are also participating in these internet challenges. We're allowed to be creative to our own personal extents with these online challenges, as everyone has a unique twist to the challenge, but is still relevant to the purpose of the challenge, whether it's for a good cause like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, or even a dance challenge. People do get recognized by these challenges, whether it's by the community or your favorite star or celebrity, reposting, retweeting, sharing on Facebook. I find this as being a way to creatively communicate your own art across the world, and I've done these online internet dance challenges myself! The link below is one of the dance challenges I did, which was Chris Brown's dance challenge. I post such challenges on my Instagram, and these dance challenges allow me to portray my own art in the form of dance, and it's great to see what other people are capable to do with these dance challenges as well as you do get a lot of creative ideas that turn into unique skits and group choreography, which are just really fun to watch and do. Below is a link from my facebook from one of the challenges I did and posted on my Instagram as well. Hope you enjoy :)

HW Creativity

New Media fosters creativity, because of the various ways that you can communicate across the platforms and new technology interfaces we have today. Today's world has become quite technologically savvy, as we're able to successfully utilize the new media we possess in communicating across the world. With such capabilities in communication like this, anyone and everyone can pitch ideas and be as creative as possible which is the beauty of being in a digital era. In fact, a lot of technology companies are supposedly "relying others to innovate for them," as mentioned in the "Twitter Serves Up Ideas From its Followers" article. Claire Miller also states in the article how influential people are due to the power of the internet, as people are exchanging ideas at high rates, and with computing tools at our availability, allows people to create new products inexpensively. Twitter was described as being heavily "user-generated innovation" throughout the

Project Description

My research topic is "Social Networking: A Purposeful Loss of Privacy." In this project I will explain how in today's world we have willingly allowed technology  and social media to infiltrate our privacy.  I will revolve my research around Scholarly articles and credible sources, to emphasize the vulnerability of our personal and private information through social networks. Our mindless clicking, typing, and tapping of screens have made us accustomed to providing detailed information about ourselves to get access to social media. Social Networking is an activity that our society is heavily engrossed in, and it has also defaulted us into losing our privacy. With every post, every update, every picture, every tweet, we're giving away our privacy.

Blog: Next New

A new media that currently doesn't exist is holographic communication systems or applications. We've ventured into technology that is now capable of printing 3D Models, but have yet to create an interface that can project holograms on devices like cellphones and laptops. A technology like a Hologram can be the new way of people interacting with one another, and once such a thing is commercialized we can see a great change in how people will interact. We currently have new media like Facetime or videochats/or video calls, but "Hologram calls" will change the way we interact for the better. Being able to interact with a hologram, allows people to be able to virtually see who they are talking to and gives a 3D and realistic experience like no other form of new media we have ever seen. Commercializing hologram will forever change how we interact with one another almost making our calls to others a dull form of communication, but rather making our calls come to life and m
