Next New

 A possible "next new" form of new media would be holding interviews in a virtual reality setting. Due to the pandemic, many podcasts and sports interviews are already being held digitally. Virtual reality would allow many content creators and reporters to interview in the same "room", while they could potentially be continents away in person. It would also allow the general public to participate in these interviews as live audience.

    I have been watching many interviews lately and of course been attending zoom lectures. Due to everyone being at home, people who show their faces tend to be in a room or have a different backgrounds behind them through settings. I honestly think virtual reality can make people more intrigued in whatever they watch or listen to because its a different world. It reminds of the 360 videos on YouTube where you can turn your phone around in all angles as the video is playing.

    Wow that's innovative, I think you are on the right path with this. If the pandemic has taught us anything, its how we can work outside the office and think outside the box. People have been forced to work from home, on a moments notice. This has open a new door to working remotely that has been tried before. I think we can a few interview guys virtually from the other side of the world to widen the talent pool.

Privacy

 New media has done an immense amount of good for society, such as allowing one to communicate with another instantly. For example, Facebook (a giant of new media) boasts billions of monthly users and therefore controls an incredible amount of information.

Some of these problems include: individuals stealing information about others, Facebook selling private information to advertising companies for profit, and a large scale data breach. New media is a blessing and should be enjoyed, but we should also be vigilant of the information we put online.

P2P

Sharing computer data such as files between multiple devices is considered "file sharing." File sharing allows people to either upload or download files, and these people would be allowed access into these files. P2p sharing, or peer-to-peer, is a form of file sharing where the connection is made between two personal devices. For p2p to work, the user must use a dedicated p2p software such as BitTorrent. This allows a user to search through to locate the file that they want and download it. However, P2p causes many privacy and piracy concerns. An example of using P2p sharing for piracy would be downloading illegal movies and TV shows on BitTorrent. Using a P2p software, such as BitTorrent, is very enticing because it allows videos that could typically require hours to download to be downloaded in minutes. Source: Thompson, Clive.

Baruch College should implement more new media technology.  During the pandemic, Baruch College replaced all courses with online classes using Zoom.
