Next New

New media, which in the past might have been the target of some criticism, is now gaining acceptance. The use of new media is becoming more and more widespread. For example, during the current epidemic, the utilization rate of new media is very high. Almost all connections require the use of new media. For example, take zoom classes, use facetime to make appointments, and meet the family doctor. These are now common new media uses. And new media still has some room for improvement. What I want to talk about is social networking using holographic projections to connect to new media. Holographic projection is a 3d technology, the reproduction of a real three-dimensional image of an object. With the guidance of science fiction films and commercial publicity, the concept of holographic projection is gradually extended to stage performances, exhibitions, and other commercial activities. Holographic projection technology is not mature, high cost.
But we can think about combining holographic projection with new media when the technology is mature. This could lead to a whole new social network. Use a holographic projection to project your own image onto someone else's electronic device for display and communication. The present holographic projection can only show what is recorded. And the holographic projection that I envision is using the holographic projection to communicate. I think social networking is much more interesting. At the same time, I hope the projected characters can be set by themselves. For example, if I don't want to communicate with others with real people, I will create a virtual character to project and communicate.

Wiki So Far

I wanted to add more to the "New Media in Toys" section of our class Wiki. I've added the topics I want to add to this page. I'm editing this page. The theme I want to add is "ai-powered toys". In recent years, new media has greatly helped the development of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence usually refers to the technology of presenting human intelligence through ordinary computer programs. Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more widely used, and I want to focus on artificial intelligence toys. A couple of ai items appeared on the "New Media in Toys" page, and I wanted to re-edit and put them together. Artificial intelligence toys are already aimed at more than just children. These toys are not just for children. Of course, there are many smart toys that can help children learn more skills. I will describe several different AI toys and attach pictures. I should explain what the toys are and how to play with them, and then add in the effects it might have on the player. In addition, the update of artificial intelligence is very fast. So I want to take a look at the entire page and maybe do some re-editing and additions. Also, I am interested in gaming, music and love pages. This love page is interesting. This page is about connecting new media to relationships. There is a section on this page about "of Online Love Finding". I think this part could be expanded a bit more, there's more research to prove that finding love at night can be dangerous.

P2P

File sharing is the sharing of multimedia, documents, e-books, etc. to others in different ways. P2p file sharing, on the other hand, USES peer-to-peer (p2p) networks to distribute and share different kinds of digital media. The p program searches the p2p network for other linked computers to get the destination to which the files are being sent. Users can transfer one or more files from one computer to another through a variety of file transfer systems and other file-sharing networks. For example, Gnutella, a large peer-to-peer network. When the user installs and starts Gnutella, the user's computer becomes the client and server in the network, called GnutellaNet. Gnutella allows network members to share any file type. The program allows individuals to freely exchange information directly with each other without the supervision and restrictions of brokers. In addition, Bearshare is a file-sharing program. Share files with you, your friends, and everyone in the world. Built on Gnutella technology, it provides a simple, easy-to-use interface that combines powerful connections and search engines to enable quick operation of thousands of different files.

Peer-to-peer file sharing makes it easier for users to share resources. In the article "Should Online Scofflaws Be Denied Web Access?" "Refers to illegal copying of digital music, movies, and video games. File sharing makes digital media easier to share, which makes it easier for more people to do illegal things. For example, making pirated DVDs, music, e-books, etc., they will share the pirated products. And the law is vague about such things. It may be immoral but it is not completely illegal. I think, even now, in many places, there are products of piracy. But if the law were to be retroactive, it would be a huge undertaking. In my opinion, modern technology still needs improvement. To ensure the reputation of the legitimate version, we also need to consider those who do not have the financial strength to obtain the legitimate version of the people.

Privacy

With the development of The Times, the flow of information is faster and faster. With the development of technology, people's privacy is more and more important. Many social networks and new media require the personal information to create an account. These are pitfalls. Zoom, for example, is now used at home for online classes and meetings. However, it was recently revealed that zoom may disclose personal information and other private information. There's a lot of news out there, and there's a lot of social software that's vulnerable. These technologies have made our information public and transparent. I had a professor say to me “ if there's any information that you don't want anybody not to know, etc. Never put it on the Internet.” And, even if you delete it, the network will last forever. I think in today's internet-based society, our privacy is indeed at risk of being invaded, so we need to be vigilant when we use new media and social networks.

Advice

If I need to use new media to help Baruch improve, I will first put the school TV screen in a more prominent place. Although the school has several television screens to tell students what is happening, they are set up next to the lift. I think people are in such a hurry to get to class that they don't notice the screen. Instead of putting a lot of electronic screens, put a bigger one directly in the doorway so that students can notice. Then I would like to have more professional communication software instead of Facebook or something like that. There is a lot of group work in school, but social software is different because people come from different countries. If we can have Baruch exclusive social software, it will help us to do our group work better, we can easier to communicate with our group members. 102/5000 Besides, I think Baruch can have an app with all the information about the school, which can help students, professors and staff to search for the information they want faster. For example, when students want to find the major department office, they can easier to find it on which floor and which room to use the app.

Creativity and New Media

In the virtual world, players can do things they can't do in real life. Players can be heroes in the virtual world, as superman. I put the concept of life into my virtual game. The reason I want to bring life into the virtual world is that I think sometimes it's hard to control our lives. For example, it's really hard to control my life for a variety of reasons. I can't do all the things I like, I don't have any confidence to do what I want to do. I was afraid to try something new, even work. I was afraid that new things would disrupt my life. It could make my life worse. These reasons may come from social pressure like hard to find a job you like. In real life, we have to learn about different areas of the world as we get older. But in the virtual world, you can start your life at different stages, and you can change the course of your life. You can use your imagination and live your life the way you want. But each part still feels the same as it does in the real world, which is an indication of what's going on at this stage. What I want to do most is release my pressure in the virtual world. Even if real life is hard to control, in the virtual world everything is up to me. As much as I can imagine, it shows up in the virtual world.
My virtual world has six parts, starting point, ending point, and four different life stages. The texture of each part is related to the things in that part. In the beginning, a crazy clock means that time in the virtual world is different from that in real life. It also means that life in the virtual world will be different. There are four paths around the starting point, and players can choose any stage they want to start. In the children's area, pictures of toys relate to children. Also, there are push objects, these objects are like blocks, players can play with them. Of course, players can also push these things to other parts to create their own worlds. In the workspace, there is a maze and a few characters. One of the characters would say, "congratulations, you've got a job.", other characters will let you go find a job. The gold and coin patterns in the work area to show that work can make money. In the relationships part, you just need to find a lover. A heart-shaped object with a pink picture to express love. Then the agedness part, a lot of the old cartoon patterns were used. The last part tells you that you are the author of your life story. In the beginning, there are many leaves on the tree to indicate new life, but in the end, there are no leaves on the tree to indicate the end. Each part has a different color. I put lights of different colors in different places. The child part is blue, the work part is gold, the love part is pink, the old part is red. Each part of the character will say different things and make you do different things. I want my players to understand that life is complicated, but also to make it clear. Do the right thing at the right time, but you can also control your life.

Creativity

Technology is innovation, and innovation comes from human creativity. New ideas may often pop up in our daily life, and the process of realizing these new ideas is people's creativity. Because people are creative, our world is changing. Long ago, people could only contact each other by letter. It was creativity that brought us to the Internet age. A few decades ago, when we had 2g networks, people could only use text messages and phone calls to communicate with each other. Now that we even have 5g, social networking is much more convenient and fast, like facetime. In the article "Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Followers", Twitter's innovation comes From customers. Because customers are tweeting about other people, Twitter has directly developed a new feature called Retweet. This makes it easier for customers to transmit the story they want to tell when they send a tweet. So creativity is very important in our modern life. With creativity, we can discover new things, with creativity we can improve our current network system.

Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

With the progress of science and technology, the virtual world has been widely used. Such as games, SIMS and so on. I've Been in That Club, Just Not in Real Life. However, by presenting the club in a virtual way, the bad environment will disappear, the club in the virtual world will be enjoyable, and the virtual club will look real through many details, such as talking to the characters in the virtual world. Virtual worlds can also be used in work, such as creating an office virtual world. In the article "Going to the Virtual Office in Second Life," companies use Virtual worlds for meetings to reduce expenses and save money. I once watched a video where a mother lost her child and an engineer put her child's appearance into the virtual world. By VR the mother saw her child again. Although the virtual world is not real, this virtual world gives the mother emotional sustenance. I think it's a good use of the virtual world, putting reality in the virtual world and suspending time in the virtual world. 


The virtual world has many advantages, such as creating a tourist attraction in the virtual world, so that we can use technology to travel to different places at home. Virtual worlds can also help train special professionals, such as firefighters and soldiers. Sometimes, real-life training can be dangerous and may lead to injuries to these soldiers. If they can practice emergencies in a controlled environment, they can learn severe and dangerous operations without harming anyone. Virtual worlds can also help people overcome language barriers. There is a game called VR Chat. You can go to different countries and chat with people in that country through this game. In this virtual world, no one knows who you are and no one will laugh at your language, so you can practice the language more boldly in this virtual game. On the other hand, the virtual world also has its disadvantages. Creating a virtual world is expensive and takes a lot of effort. After all, the virtual world is not real, so it can not be completely consistent with reality. However, many people may indulge in virtual worlds and escape from reality. For example, some very real shooting games, these games can cause players to indulge and forget the rules of the real world. They tend to be violent because of the virtual world.

Virtual worlds can create people's imagination. In the virtual world, players can do things they can't do in real life. Players can be heroes in the virtual world, as superman. The virtual world allows people to do everything that cannot be done in the real world. It can be said that in the virtual world, people are completely free. There are no rules that bind people's imagination. In the virtual world, people can boldly imagine everything possible. Everything can be created in a virtual world. It is because people's imagination increases people's creativity. I think with the development of the times, it will be easier for people to create virtual worlds. Everyone can create their own virtual world. And I think people will be able to present virtual worlds without using AR in the future. In addition, We are now bringing real social experience into the virtual world, but maybe people's creativity can bring something new from the virtual world to reality.

Blog: Social networking sites

I think Facebook can do more than twitter. On Facebook, users can not only post, but their posts can also indicate their mood. If they post about one thing, users can say who they did it with. This post will appear on the blog of the person he mentions. One of the other things that Facebook does is live streaming and timed stories, and I think timed stories are great because they disappear after 24 hours. This is a great way to help users keep track of current events and interesting stories. Facebook can also block some events, and users can say they will or want to go. Such an operation can help the sponsor estimate the number of people and then determine the resources needed to be used. While Facebook is for the masses, Twitter may be more focused on the tweets of celebrities. We can tweet, though. But there are more celebrities on twitter, like many politicians, who are more likely to use twitter to express their opinions. In addition, I follow a lot of Japanese cartoonists and I love looking at their paintings on Twitter. I think of Facebook as a social network is friends communicate and share, and twitter as a social network is what I can see more of the world like idols activities or political ideas.
Moreover, let's talk about Instagram which I think many of you are using it. The difference between Instagram and Facebook, Twitter is that Instagram is more about pictures and stories. I use Instagram to post some pictures of the nice sky. I think youngers are more willing to use Instagram. The nice pictures will attach people's attention. Also, a lot of Influencers are using Instagram and some Influencers can be seen by society is because of Instagram. Indeed, there are a lot of stars are using Instagram, they use it to show their fans what they are doing and promote their works. Instagram can also create specific themes, this usage is the same as Twitter.
In addition, I would like to introduce you to Weibo. Weibo is the social networking that most Chinese people use to post the blog. It's similar to Facebook but it's more wield use in China. In addition to blogging, it is the most famous place is, it has a hot search list. It will make a list of all the topics people are concerned about, and the higher the ranking of the topic because more people click more. This lets more people know that people are talking about the hottest topics right now. For example, during the current Coronavirus period, most of the hot search topics are about this virus. It will update important news from different countries and let people know more about what is happening now.

Blog about Twitter

In blackboard's discussion board, each of us will have our own thread. We need to click thread according to the title to see the specific explanation of our classmates. In blackboard, we just select one or two classmates' threads to open and reply. Moreover, in the discussion board, we have specific topics to discuss, all posts are about specific topics. All topics is listing on the board. On Twitter, however, everyone's posts appear on the home page, and we don't have to click on any topic to see everyone's posts. If we need to add a specific topic to the post we just need to tag it. After adding the tag, we can see all the posts on this topic in the tag. I think twitter is more interesting and convenient. I just need to scroll down the home page to see what all the classmates have to say. Also, it is to reply to my classmates' tweets.

Blog Social networking

With the development of modern society, social networks are becoming more and more common. Blog as a new media technology to promote people's communication, it is widely used by people. The article "Being There: The subtle art of The Facebook update," The authors mention status updates. Use your Facebook home blog to update your status and show your mood. We can share our lives on Facebook. This is one use of blogging as a social network. It makes it easier for us to express our ideas and update them anytime and anywhere. Friends can see each other's latest status and can leave messages for each other. In business, if an enterprise can make good use of a blog social networks, will help them increase the benefits. Interesting blogs can attract more people to consume.

On the other hand, businesses are suffering because of the growth of social networks. In the article "Amazon Says Error Removed listing," for example, a hacker took advantage of a flaw in Amazon's website to trick people into labeling gay-themed books as inappropriate. Thousands of Twitter users included the hashtag "#amazonfail" in their subject messages, pushing it up the list of the most popular topics on the site and attracting other users. This has made a difference to amazon's revenues. This has greatly reduced the sales of some books. This kind of illicit lure attracts a lot of people, this also is the drawback of the blog.

Blog social network has indeed brought us a lot of conveniences, but also let us communicate more and more quickly. The technology also allows information to travel faster and faster. It's easy for people to get the information they want, but it also creates the dark side of social networking. Because of the rapidity of social networks, a lot of information may be circulated without being verified. This leads to rumors, and some rumors may have a bad impact on society. Just like an Internet storm, it is because the information spreads so fast, and people like to follow the public. This can lead to a serious injury to a person's life. I think we can use social networks, and social networks do have benefits. But when we use social networks, we need to know right from wrong. Not all blogs are right because everyone can post a blog. We need to determine if the blogs you see are really useful. However, with the development of society. I think the social network environment will improve. I think with the development of the Internet era, there should be laws against such things as Internet violence. I think the future of social networks can be a very good development, there may be more interesting social software.
