"New Media and the Distribution of Music"

well presented but could have used more examples to show that the music industry need to come up with a new business model.You also said that artist are making 16 cent on the dollar but now their revenue has increased.i did not understand this part.Thank you again for the presentation.

"New Media and the Creative Arts"

i learned a lot from the presentation and the websites you provided were helpful.you seem to be timid like me since i could not hear you at the beginning but the presentation was great.

"Impact of the Social Networking on Recruiting"

i liked your presentation probably because your communication skill was fantastic even if i believe that the last students to present could take a cue out of those who presented first.one point i wanted to mention is that online recruting still has a way to go compare to networking.Many people said that they posted 50 resume online to get 2 replies.But going at events like Goldmans sachs conference,or using association like NABA can quickly land you a job or intership.

EFFECT OF NEW MEDIA ON SOCIETY

New media has huge impact on society.it is beneficial to society but it also has a dark side and evil can used it to harm.New media is helping people around the world to share informations ,discover new things,improve certain aspect of human daily life.If the use of new media is restricted to prevent harm ,new media is without no doubt a great tool in this century.

My term project was about the Impact of new media on children.i tried to show the advantages and disadvantages of new media on children Parents and Goverments can help prevent the abuses and consequences of using them.i wanted to show a video on youtube called "catch a predator" but there was no internet connection but i hope i was persuasive on showing the dark side of using new media by children.

BARUCH NEW MEDIA - OUR CLASS WIKI - SO FAR

My involvement in our class wiki so far is on Politic and i showed how new media can promote political opinions and how people can use it to empower theyself.i mentioned the use of twitter by lawmakers and recently there was a brouhaha on how Ashton Kutcher outmaneuvers CNN to 1 million on twitter.i also talk about new media and economic and how its use can influence the market.Many day traders have a bloomberg terminal and blackberry with internet connection because information is crucial in today trading environment.

THE NEXT NEW THING

I believe that the next new thing will be how phone's communication will be free all around the world.The internet will be used to make human' life even easier.But internet attacks will multiply and jobs in the field of internet security will have an increase demand.

I was very impressed by how technology is used by Baruch college.the only suggestion will be Blackboard because i had fews problems with it and it was irritating.

OLD vs NEW

NEW MEDIA USES MOSTLY INTERNET FOR CONTENT AND OLD MEDIA REFERS TO TRADITIONNAL MEAN OF COMMUNICATION LIKE RADIO,TELEVISION,NEWS PAPERS.

DEFINE

PIRACY:For electronic and audio-visual media, unauthorized reproduction and distribution is occasionally referred to as piracy (an early reference was made by Daniel Defoe in 1703 when he said of his novel True-born Englishman : "Its being Printed again and again, by Pyrates"[2]). The practice of labeling the act of infringement as "piracy" actually predates copyright itself.
unauthorized use:Not having the right to use
intellectual property:intangible property that is the result of creativity (such as patents or trademarks or copyrights)
fair use:the conditions under which you can use material that is copyrighted by someone else without paying royalties
filesharing:is a method of distributing electronically stored information such as computer programs and digital media.
digital rights management: refers to access control technologies used by publishers, copyright holders, and hardware manufacturers to limit usage of digital media or devices. In contrast to copy protection, which only attempts to prohibit unauthorized copies of media or files[citation needed], digital rights management enables the publisher to control what can and cannot be done with a single instance. For example, a publisher can limit the number of viewings, number of copies, or which devices the media can be transferred to. Digital rights management is being used by companies such as Sony, Apple Inc., Microsoft and the BBC.

Does infotainment need a new business model?
yes because consumers are increasingly using their mobile phones for navigation and online media such as web-radio, podcasts, RSS services and music.

MODELING REALITY WITH VIRTUAL WORLDS

Virtual worlds can be used to have a sense of how things will be in reality. In Hollywood for instance, to shoot a movie called Tarzan, they used a system of virtual world instead of using real animals because someone already got hurt by a lion.
The benefit of these technologies to society is to experience a sensation that someone would like to have. In the CNN article iReport: 'Naughty Auties' battle autism with virtual interaction, it shows how someone can experience the world of autism.
The dark side of these technologies will be the fact that evil people can use it to do harm. Some new Adult virtual world goes 3 D. Even site like Sociolotron are not suitable to everyone. Virtual worlds will be more used in the future for construction to cut cost and avoids errors.

Social Networking

Social networking can be used to expand someone business and get new friends. Facebook for instance can be used to create a group with the same interest in finance.Hi5 can be used to find high school friends and the benefits are endless.
The benefit of these technologies to society is the sharing of information like the book” Infotopia: How Many Minds Produce Knowledge by Cass R. Sunstein suggested. Wikipedia is also an example and information can be access by a larger audience.
The dark side of these technologies will be the fact that evil people can use it to do harm. Child predators are using those social websites to lure their victims. However, I believe that these technologies will boom in the future because people always want to access information faster. Watching prometeus”The media revolution “,I am confident and sure that’s how tomorrow will be.

My New Media Class – So Far

What kinds of technologies are part of the new media?
New Media involves other technology with internet access. Web applications can be used via computer, mobile phone, behind a plane seat, in elevator.
People use computers and other technology with internet access to consume and contribute to a myriad of new media, ranging from social networking websites, blogs, wikis, and sites that rely on user-generated content. More recently, people have used computer technology to watch television content online.

How important is the Internet to the new media?

Although new media can be used without the internet, the Internet remains an essential tool in facilitating the consumption of new media, because much of new media involves websites, which require Internet connection to access.

Why and how are the new media replacing and/or enhancing the old media?

New media hasn’t replaced old media in its entirety. This is certainly applicable to the television and the news paper industry. The new media today has improved advertisement in general because it could reach a far larger audience

Blogs VS Wiki

Blogs and wikis are both internet applications . A wiki is a collection of web pages written by many persons. A blog is more personal unless you share your login informations to someone else. .Also blogs can have links only to external sites whereas wikis may have links not only to external sites , but also within the web page.
Commenting on the importance of convergence in today's networked world
Convergence is the concept behind wikis.In the book how many minds produce knowledge,it shows that with the help of internet people can solve many problems by sharing views,knowledge.In the New york Times articles by Matt Richtel,online content appears in elevator,in the back of your taxi or plane seat.
How can blogs be used for collaboration?
Blogs can be used for collaboration by letting users post their opinion.This would allow an outside reader to get different opinions on a certain topic. Although this sounds like a wiki, the major difference is that your post cannot be altered by anyone and therefore your opinion is voiced

Check it out some social networking sites

i personally have a facebook account which i believe is more professional than myspace.Facebook in the other hand is less personal because you can't really personalize your page with wallpaper and themes like myspace.i use facebook to chat with friends and let them know what am i doing on specific time.i visited friendster and it is similar to facebook.i also have an account with hi5 but i did not upload my picture.This site is very popular with some of my friends back home.LinkedIn is a social networking site mainly used for professional networking. you can find jobs, also recruiters using this site to find perspective employees since you can upload your profile, resume, and recommendation letters.

My Research Term Project
