Wiki So Far:

Over the course of this semester I have done a lot of research on Twitter and plan on creating a page for twitter or adding to the topic, which is currently under the social media page. In addition I would like to add some information pertaining to the privacy and security of the new media technologies that have become a part of our everyday lives. discussing things like Privacy Policies, PII, and more.

  1. These sound like excellent contributions! Twitter seems to have changed so much lately that I'm sure the wiki needs to be updated. Good thinking!! Also love the idea of adding to privacy and security.. That is one of the things that will constantly change as society changes therefore Im sure some time of update is needed. I look forward to reading your contributions.

    All the best,
    Liz

Creativity

New media fosters creativity in that it creates a place where people can freely share their new creations. In addition, as seen in the article 1+1+1=1: The New Math of Mashup by Sasha Frere-Jones, new media and new platforms give people a place to collect tools and media to create new and different things. The article speaks specifically to music mashups, however, the same can be said for still and moving images. There is a treasure trove of open source images that can be used by artists.  https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/01/10/1-1-1-1

P2P File Sharing

File sharing is the distribution or providing access of digital media over the internet. P2P file sharing is the distribution of digital media among users without the need for a server, using peer-to-peer networking technology. An example of this sharing is BitTorrent, a site that allows users to upload and download large files. Another example of a P2P site is Napster, a site that operated in the early 2000s for sharing audio files. An ICT issue arises with P2P sites because many people use P2P sites to share pirated information. https://www.wired.com/2005/01/bittorrent-2/

Blog about Twitter

A conversation or discussion on twitter differs greatly from a conversation or discussion that happens face to face. People will say things from behind their computer's that they would never say in person. In addition, twitter conversations need to be in short 140-character bursts which is not necessarily how conversations flow naturally. In this way it differs from a blackboard conversation as well.
