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.

  1. Hi Rahiq, I think this is really good topic because of how much we are dependent on social networking. We unknowingly leave behind a trail of cookies that people can use to invade your privacy. I would love to know what you find out in your research.

  2. Hi Rahiq, I find your research topic to be very interesting because I myself is not too good with technology and don't know much about how vulnerable our privacy is even with things like adblock, anti malware, etc. I'm looking forward to your findings!

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...

Blog: Wiki So Far

Currently I have not added any content as of yet, but what I do intend to add to the Class Wiki page(s) are: Update some of the content in the YouTube page in the Class Wiki, talking about more up and coming YouTubers who have impacted the community as well as changed the social media game for years to come. I'll also include another prominent YouTube channel like Complex into the YouTube page of our class wiki. I'll be explaining the significance of these more recent YouTube channels while updating that page in our class wiki.  I will also incorporate more information on the Social Networking page, and delving into the "Live" features of social networking sites or apps such as "Facebook Live" or "Instagram Live." With my research I will explain more about what Live Streaming is, and how it is the future of social media. I will also look over the content in our Class Wiki, and attempt to edit and fix the content on these pages looking to eith...

Blog: Advice

If I was hired by Baruch to use new media to improve the College, I would suggest that we utilize Social Media more effectively and make it school-appropriate. I believe the familiarity with social media should be a plus point for all college students, and if there is a way we can all be connected more efficiently it should be through social media. I believe it makes it easier to connect with our peers, as we will have the domain to further make connections and familiarize ourselves with classmates and other students within Baruch College. Also with implementing the use of social media, it allows easy access for being able to share Baruch related events across each student's timelines and news feeds. Social Media can help coordinate a lot of student events for Baruch and can significantly increase the student involvement at this college. Social Media is able to quickly draw attention to people with alerts and shares by others. I believe this can help create a great social environm...
