Blog: Next New

 A new type of new media that I thought about would be augmented virtual reality. I understand that virtual reality already exist, but it is not in practical use. As far as I know, none of my friends use it and I find it hard to believe that people use it in a daily basis. 

Uses for virtual reality can greatly improve from how they are used now. Instead of creating your own character or avatar, maybe there can be a full body scan so you can be yourself in the reality world. Also, instead of having to actually walk or hold controllers to move, maybe you can use your brain to move using some sort of head gear. My understanding of new media is that part of the definition is information being sent at a very fast rate. Instead of just relying on television or letters, people can interact from anywhere using a code that will allow them to interact in a virtual room. This will destroy the bridge of the time it takes to send messages via email or social media (Usually determined by your internet speed). There will be no delay in relaying messages or news.

    Nice example of virtual reality, I am also not aware of many people using virtual reality, other than being used in video games. Amazon and few other big technology companies, have already started accepting virtual reality has a new media, these websites have started offering a way for us to see their product in virtual reality and see how these product would look in our rooms or whatever we plan on using it for, but great example of virtual reality.

    Hey I really like the application you have stated for virtual reality. I also think it would be great for distance learning as well. If we can recreate classes virtually, it would greatly increase the discussion and collaboration. Zoom is good but it just doesn't feel like classroom and bonding with classmates is borderline impossible. I believe virtual reality is the best option when it comes to distance learning.

Blog: Advice

You are hired by Baruch College to use  new media  to improve the College. What are some suggestions you would make using new media? Some suggestions I would make using new media to improve Baruch College would be making different social media platforms in order the bring the school together. As you all may know, Baruch has many different clubs and organizations. In order to bring the different organizations and clubs together, maybe a social media platform where everyone can connect is a good idea. Aside from this and moving onto the learning perspective, I believe that school can use different streaming services in order to improve the classroom experience. Rather than having everyone in a zoom call, professors can stream their classes which will probably make classes a little more structured and give students the opportunity to have a better experience. I don't really like zoom itself and would prefer to watch lectures through a streaming service.

Hi Everyone welcome to my Blog Post. My paper will be on e-bay. If you guys didn't know, e-Bay is looking to expand its online marketplace into different markets. One example happens to be the shoe market. E-bay is looking to accommodate sellers on e-bay by having no seller fees which saves a lot of money if you continuously sell on their platform. My paper will basically talk about the different ways that e-bay is trying to expand their business from improving their payment services to lowering fees for sellers.

Blog: Wiki So Far

 Though I have not worked on the wiki yet or contributed to any of the pages, I know that I will be adding to the economics portion of the wikipedia. I saw that there are already information about how social media effects the economy and the use or bitcoin, but I did not see anyone talk about current websites that provide real time data. One of the big differences between new media and old media is the speed of information being processed and distributed to the viewers. We already know of existing companies that take advantage of real-time news and data such as Bloomberg and virtually any news outlet. The importance of real-time data for the markets and the economy will effect the decisions of traders, big or small, around the world. People who not only invest in domestic fixed income or equities but international as well. Getting information the fastest and most accurate is what sets these new outlets apart. For my contribution, I will be going more into detail about different new...
