A new media that
doesn’t exist that I can think about is a zoom features in our phones.When
using the camera in our phones ,we can use that feature to look really far away
to take a picture that is not near by.This feature could have been very useful,
because sometime we don’t want to be near the object for example animals in the zoo.I hope they can come up with the
app soon.

P2P
File
sharing is the practice of sharing or offering access to digital information or
resources, including documents, multimedia (audio/video), graphics, computer
programs, images and e-books. It is the private or public distribution of data
or resources in a network with different levels of sharing privileges.
P2P file sharing allows users to
access media files such
as books, music, movies, and games using a P2P software program that searches for other connected
computers on a P2P network
to locate the desired content. The nodes “peers” of such networks are end-user
computers and distribution servers.
Some of the
examples of peer to peer sharing files are:
Bit
Torrent is one of the most popular peer-to-peer file sharing protocols used on
the Internet and it accounts for a significant amount of traffic on the
Internet. The article below states:” Bram Cohen is the creator of BitTorrent, one of the most
successful peer-to-peer programs ever. BitTorrent lets users quickly upload and
download enormous amounts of data, files that are hundreds or thousands of
times bigger than a single MP3”.
Distribute is the world’s
first peer-to-peer desktop deployment product especially developed for business
use. Using the P2P protocol, Distribute maximizes the speed of the network
and eliminates the need and expense of decentralized distribution
servers.
Pando is a personal
P2P program, much like Bit Torrent but geared toward those looking for a simple
and secure means of file transfer. Users may email, IM, or post to their
website a. Pando file.
Freecast is a
peer-to-peer streaming audio broadcasting program. Typically, residential
Internet connections have a much lower upload capacity than download capacity.

Privacy
Social networking sites encourage people to be more
public about their personal lives. Because intimate details of our lives can be
posted so easily, users are prone to bypass the filters they might normally
employ when talking about their private lives. What's more, the things they
post remain available indefinitely. While at one moment a photo of friends
doing shots at a party may seem harmless, the image may appear less attractive
in the context of an employer doing a background check. While most sites allow
their users to control who sees the things they've posted, such limitations are
often forgotten, can be difficult to control or don't work as well as
advertised.

Creativity and New Media
Blogs
are a great way for the development of creative thinking and writing in students.
For example I created this blog especially for my new media class .It provides
freedom to students to post whatever they want and comment upon or
share each other’s material. They can openly write on topics that intrigue them
and give vent to their ideas without having to worry about grading or
grammatical errors.
I took this picture almost a few weeks ago of the Empire State.This is the before and after picture while i was using the app.

CREATIVTY
It’s important to understand that in order to foster a creative group
culture, we have to all be aware of, and respect, the different personality
types in our organization. A personality misunderstanding can often be an
underlying hindrance to group cohesiveness and communication. From the
article below: “Creativity is not like
riding a bike. Neither is it easily quantifiable. While there is research going
on to identify exactly what is going on in your brain, nothing has been
conclusively determined, so until then, I am going to follow the old adage that
“the more you practice, the better you are.” Oatmeal said it best creativity is
a river, not a pool”.
I believe there is
no greater inhibitor to creativity than a closed mind. I follow the notion that
creativity and inspiration are drawn from all of my combined experiences. The
more different and unique experiences I can draw from, the more creative my
mind will be. For this reason I am always trying to learn and experience new
things. I love to travel, learn languages, read different magazines, and watch
foreign films. I do these things not only because they give me pleasure, but
also because I know they are ultimately helping my creativity.
