Blog about Twitter

 A blog in essence is the ability to share one's ideas and thoughts in formatted method. Having a blog on Twitter is more so of a informal virtual discussion and presentation of one's thoughts. Twitter in general is created and provided users with such tools that promote self thought and opinion without restriction. Having the character limit also pushes individuals to be more concise and wholesome with their thoughts. Compared to a Twitter discussion, a Blackboard discussion is more structured, without a character limit, and has many technological tools to embed links, photos, and other resources to help present an individua's thoughts. Blackboard is also considered a scholarly site which causes users to write more professionally and thoughtfully. I find Blackboard discussions to be a well thought out design of ideas. Lastly, an in-person class discussion is my favorite. This format gives up the formalities of capitalized letters and forgoes the art of writing. Rather the ability to create eye contact, use an individual's voice, and one's natural ability to present a unreviewed thought is incredibly raw and impactful. I believe it says a lot not only regarding the individua's thoughts on the topic but also the individual themselves. Regardless, the environment, culture, and general style of a discussion can dictate how the speaker speaks and the listener hears.

Blog: P2P

 P2P stands for "peer to peer" file sharing. This concept often exists at many large organizations and businesses and allows groups to share information, data, and files among their coworkers easily and have data be readily accessible.

A user may create folders within OneDrive that are shared with other users and apply user roles based on access levels. Another popular tool created by Microsoft is Teams.

BLOG: Blog v Wiki

 In today's age of New Media a plethora of tools are available to communicate, store, and present information across the wold wide web. Blogs and Wiki pages have been at the forefront of this notion. However, often times there is confusion and overlap between the two and their individual goals and purposes. To be frank a blog is created usually from the perspective of an individual or group and that party presenting it's ideas, thoughts, and news via this platform. On the other hand, a Wiki page is to be utilized to hold information, history, useful links, and general knowledge about a specific subject. Wiki pages and blogs can also be used within organizations to communicate and hold information related to specific processes and functions. It is important to note an important quirk of a wiki page is the fact that often times any individual can come and edit the information, this fact is still true for the most part. However, recently CNN posted an article titled "Wikipedi...

Blog: Next New

 I believe the future of New Media is bright. Some of the latest advancements in technology have connected people and been one of the most powerful forms of new media such as augmented and virtual reality. I find in the near future and newer method of new media will be the development of virtual advertisements. Aka these are advertisements made from holograms or projected light onto any surface where companies can market themselves at a lower cost and more freely. It may even already exist but due to legal reasons is not used often. However, I feel like having the ability to allow an individual to market as they wish, whenever, and wherever is incredibly important and influential.
