New Thing ! Be always on Time!

Since the new technology appear nowadays , people become very independent of the online services. Buying, communicate, having a second life in a virtual world, or either shopping grocery and booking tickets allow people to have easy lives and save time. People are very addicted to it.Surfers and publishers create new things to replace the activities in a real world.
In NYC,traffic is very intense and people are always rushing here and there .People are always fitting to get a cab in rush hours or get trains, or sometimes  new yorkers are late because there is a long line to buy a Metrocard.
Therefore, my idea is to create a database that allows people to order or book a Taxi online ( like they can make a reservation 20 minutes before their trip) by entering their information such as From Which destination to another, how many people, time to pick up , and enrolled their credit card on file in case of cancellation, the client will be charged about 10 dollard fees. Metrocard pass will be digital, instead of buying a card and most of the time people can loose it , Therefor, individuals will just have to swipe their phone code bar and get to the train platform. And same for people who buys metrocards online by putting the amounts of their rides, and  paying online.Since, the customer will get  an email with a code that will let him to use it to get from one station to the other .
I hope this can happen in the near future and gives the people an easy way to  be always in time for their meetings or appointments.
This idea might exists very soon and will increase the people to have a planned schedule.

Wiki

In wiki, I haven't done anything special besides the fact to create a username, upload my picture and also i have been talking about "How business is using the social network". I have wrote  an introduction about this specif subject and tried to give few ideas. My goal in wiki is to do an analysis  a specific topic, talking about " How  the piracy are using in the new media ?". I will be discussing about the cons of the piracy and why the government or institutions should regulate the piracy in the Internet world. I will cover the examples of how people violates information and how this affect the economy as well.

P2P

Through the New Media , all the net-workers are sharing, downloading or  get some information by websites and programs. File sharing  is the action to distribute or provide access to  stored digital information in your computer and you can share with other servers .P2P is a type of file sharing  that contains different sources such as some videos, musics, data or anything digital format.P2P is a digital network that permits  many computers or servers to share access to diverse resources such as files, audio, pictures, and data.People may use them   at home,work or with others. P2P is very helpful for co-workers where sometimes you can work on a same project and you need to share some excel spreadsheets to work on the same file.
After doing some readings about the PP, i understood the advantage of the P2P to allow people to share some files, videos and other data. it helps people to get information fastest and also withe the new media program BIT TORRENT where in the article "BIT TORRENT EFFECT" shows how p2p have a positive affect that lets " users quickly upload and download enormous amounts of data, files that are hundreds or thousands of times bigger than a single MP3." And also this article give us an approach about how people using P2P such as stated " 20 million people have downloaded the Bit Torrent application" For example If you missed your Gossip Girl show , the person doesn't have to worry, and look up online and suck it down by using TORRENT.
I think that P2P is very helpful and efficient for people to share files and satisfied most of the people if they need any type of information.

Privacy &Confidentiality

New Media have been a useful tool for each person. It helps institutions , such as banks , by doing fastest calculations. estimations and other probabilities. New Media also give the opportunities to people to save time, be more efficient, get information by different sites and also as i talked in my term paper the main purpose of social networks. New Media has some advantages and disadvantages.
New Media  is a source that give the chance to people to learn more information on any topics in a faster way, leave the opportunity to buy, sell online.. However it can be also a negative tool because New Media usually involve the confidentiality of people who are using the Internet or any New Media components.

First , I will talk more about the negative effect on people lives. New Media affected people personal lives. It request such as date of birth, name, middle name, last name, and sometime pictures. After my reading , I understood that privacy and confidentiality can be issues for copyrights and downloading free music, software, movies.As shown in the article, "As Rights Clash on YouTube, Some Music Vanishes" copyrights have been  a very big issue in the new media world. Some musics, movies and other copyrights have been removed.Since we have to give credit to the author who wrote songs, or creator of a movie, to give the opportunity to people to buy their CD or buy their DVD to watch the movie. The New Media is given an easy access to people to watch or being entertained by something that they didn't even pay for it. People can listen to the last album of their favorite artist by linking to YouTube.
This resume as a violation of people  intellectual assets . New media give an easy access to obtain information by not paying anything. Today, IT try to minimize the numbers of copyrights in order to have a justice in the Internet world.

Advice To Baruch College

 Since i have been in Baruch College, the new media department have been mainly improved. It allows people to have access to most of the websites, swiping the ID card to print documents instead of entering the name and password. Also, as log-in in the computer with a username and password to protect your private information.
New Media have been use by each students , and more the new media is interacted by people , more people consume less time and it is more efficient for them. For example, reaching professors by emails, sending questions about midterm if a student miss the office hours.I think there is a reasonable access to New Media to students. However, Baruch College can improve more by giving an easier way to students to take classes or have more access to communicate to their professors or classmates.

Since  I am in Baruch , I am not usually with the same people on all of my classes. Each semester , you are with different students that you don't know.I think Baruch should be able to fix this problem. I think it is important that students have a friendship with their students and not only seeing them for few hours a week. I believe that people we meet in college can be helpful for the future, as for our careers. I advise Baruch College to require all the students to invite a program with all the students that are enrolled on the class in order to share all the information.
For example, Baruch should install a program that oblige each student to put their basic personal information in order to keep in touch from the beginning of the semester with other students.
I think it will help students to keep in touch with others and shares ideas, interests...

Creativity and New Media( Reading)

After doing the reading , I have a better understanding of the relationship between  Creativity and New Media.  Since New Media have a big impact for people since the last decade, it gets better and better constantly. Physicians and experts encourage people by innovating and installing new programs. Today , anyone can create their own music, videos,games, small programming and others. Through internet by using you tube, online versions, online programming and websites , people can create media. After reading the article of the New Yorker"The New Math of Mashups " , it says that mashups that help people to create their own music and enable to remix or add new tons and put loops of different songs.As Mark Vidler  states that through the digital technology , it make is easier to spread your own creation, or innovation through Internet as he says“You don’t need a distributor, because your distribution is the Internet. You don’t need a record label, because it’s your bedroom, and you don’t need a recording studio, because that’s your computer. You do it all yourself.”.
Finally, you can create you own media by using the New media. The individual is free by using any New media to be imaginative and creative to his own interests.
