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 :)

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...
