Creativity and New Media



To demonstrate how new media fosters creativity, I decided to use an iPhone app and combine it with a passion of mine, weightlifting.  Using this app, I was able to photoshop my face onto the body of a bodybuilder.  The app allowed me to create a cutout of my own face from one of my photos and transfer it onto another image.  It was as easy and simple as copy and pasting.  This was only possible with new media.

    You're right Brian, in the past you would not be able to do photoshop on a phone. back then it required a computer, a software then time to create this image. Now with the advance of technology, we are able to do lot of stuff in our portable devices with the availability of the apps.

Advice

If I were hired by Baruch College to improve the school, there are a number of ways I would be able to implement new media to elevate the school.  For example, there can be a separate website where students can get one on one help from tutors in order to perform better on tests.  This will be more convenient for both students and tutors because they would not have to meet face to face.  I believe this would significantly improve exam grades.  Another improvement that could be made using new media is having classrooms with computers dedicated solely for test taking in order to help the school limit the use of paper and cut costs that go to purchasing printing paper.  I believe these two changes involving new media would help elevate Baruch College.

Twitter is a great platform to share news and other events.  One of the things about Twitter that stands out most to me is the hashtag function.  It is so easy to filter out and focus on certain posts about certain topics.  Because of this, I think it is more useful to share news and current events.  The layout of the site seems to be more difficult to navigate than Facebook because of the many different tools...

Privacy

As technology continues to advance and become more relevant in our everyday lives, people seem to ignore how our privacy is getting invaded as a result of this.  As technology continues to advance, more of our personal information is being kept by companies and databases.  Our phones are practically an extension of some of us.  We have become too comfortable entrusting our personal information in these devices and databases.  If people are some how able to crack through a device or database, it becomes very easy for one to do serious damage to another individual’s life.  People are now able to track others and see their online activity much easier than it had been a couple decades ago.  Although technology is making our lives much easier, is it worth our safety and security?
