So far the research I have done will be focusing on two major sections in the wikis:  Sports and Twitch.tv. For sports I plan to talk about the data analytics used in MLB over the past few years and how it has impacted the game. Also I want to talk about European Football and how it grown and been impacted by social media over the past few years. For Twitch I would like to talk about the new DMCA copyright strike has impacted twitch and the streamers on the platform. 

File Sharing is a sharing and transmitting of computer data in a network or internet with various access levels.(King). In simple terms file sharing is the process of sending data from one computer to another making it accessible for the other user at any time. It is basically information saved on a hard drive that can be accessed any time.  P2P or also known as peer-to-peer sharing is utilizing peer-to-peer networking to share information across the internet. P2P sharing is more tricky as the process of sharing is not illegal but the content included can be troublesome for parties sharing it and for the parties accessing it. BitTorrent is an example of a P2P file sharing. " BitTorrent lets users quickly upload and download enormous amounts of data, files that are hundreds or thousands of times bigger than a single MP3.  "(Thompson). BitTorrent is extremely famous for the fact it is one of the most famous websites for illegal sharing of movies and other videos. It is still su...

One of the major issues that occur with privacy is the collection of data or as companies call it big data. Companies are tracking every single one of our moves and often times we are helpless. They often times are lobbyists for politicians who they use to push their agenda. If there is a hack or some sort of loss of information millions of lives of people will be exposed to unwarranted threats.  Another issue that comes with privacy and new media is the fact that anything you post on social media is not private. Once you post something on the internet it stays there forever. Especially kids in college can make questionable choices in their early 20s that can affect the rest of their lives. Companies can find out what type of person you are and a past mistake can be troublesome for your future job application processes. 

 One of the easiest ways and tools can be used to improve online communication between professors and students is Zoom. Zoom is easily accessible and easy to use compared to another tool which Blackboard collaborate. Also to increase engagement between students and college is if the college runs TikTok as it is becoming more and more popular.  If possible Baruch could collaborate with some store for example and have a raffle where the winner wins a prize from the company. (ex: Baruch could work with an apparel company and a certain student wins a hoodie if they share a certain post or something).

  These are some of the photos I've taken in the past. The first photo was taken in India in 2014 using an iPad 2. For the first picture I haven't added any effects whereas for the second picture I added a filter and changed the contrast. For the last picture I took it with a iPhone 5s in 2016 (USA). I haven't made any changes in the last picture but it is visible of changes that can be seen in the picture. There is a wide array of colors in the last picture and it clearly visible compared to the 2014 pictures.

New media fosters creativity in various manners. One of the ways media fosters creativity is through mashups.  Brooke Barnes NY Times is providing an example of mashups: " YouTube users started posting the videos, set to “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” by the rapper Soulja Boy, about five months ago." This was in 2007. As time as went on mashups became memes then vines and eventually Tik-Tok. Often times companies allowed such mashups to stay online even though they are technically pirated is because people often use small clips and it is also bringing more fame to their product. It is a symbiotic relationship where one can lead each to more success. Mashups are famous because of their catchiness and the way we see something in a new light. It is funny to Spongebob do something not related to the show or taking something Spongebob said out of context which can make it more entertaining.
