Privacy

Privacy and confidentiality are related to new media. Some issues are that we are not careful enough of what we put on the Internet. This can lead to identity theft or just your information being put out on the web in general. The second you post something on the internet, its public. You may think its private, but little do you know anyone can see it. This is similar to our paper we had to write. Even with Facebook nothing is private. It starts with the cookies. Even sometimes ill see advertisements pop up on Facebook and i think to myself how do they know what i was just looking at. Also with Twitter , anything you put up there can be criticized.  Your writing is in words and it can be shared anywhere. We just need to be more aware of what business we put on the media.

P2P

File sharing is the public or private sharing, distributing, and transmitting of computer data or files in a network with different levels of access privilege. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing is a software program you download to directly edit another peers files without going through an intermediate server. You allow other users to access these media files. This P2P software explores for other connected computers on a P2P network to locate the files. With file sharing and P2P file sharing you can share multiple things such as photos, documents, music, and videos. P2P is very convenient and right at hand for businesses and for people in school as well. Who wants to sit in the library for four hours when we can just share our documents from home and work on it on our own time? P2P has generated many complications for movies and music as well just because now we can download anything for free. Nobody wants to pay $16 for one movie ticket. In "Digital Pirates Winning Battle with Studios", Stelter and Stone state that " Young people, in particular, conclude that if it's so easy, it can't be wrong."Due to illegal downloads, the revenue of the industry takes a huge toll. From my own experience, i download my music for free. I'm not going to go through itunes and pay $1.29 if i can just get the music for free in the same quality.

Next New

A new type of media that doesn't exist? Too many thoughts run through my mind, but what popped into my head was sneakers and sports. I love sneakers, all kinds. So I would like to see an app on a smart phone where you can see all of the releasing upcoming sneaker style and colors for every brand such as Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Asics, Converse, Vans, New Balance, Reebok. You would be able to favorite the brands you like so you can just see their new releases that are coming out. For example, I would favorite Nike, Adidas and Asics because i wear their brands the most. So I would only see their brands on my newsfeed. If at any point, i would be able to add another brand to my feed. That would be one part of the app. Another part of the app would be what stores are selling which shoe. Sometimes i get customers coming into my store asking for jordans when we only sell nike running and sportswear shoes. So i would have to tell them to go to a different Nike location. You would be able to save a lot of time traveling and its a pain to keep getting on the train.
