Privacy

The rise of new media has presented many advantages and disadvantages. One downside are the issues of privacy and confidentiality.  Social media, especially, has allowed  people to become "open books". We see it in celebrities, through news pages, or just random people, who are constantly talking and posting on their social media. However, it is important to consider those susceptible to hackers or leaked information. Unfortunately, a bad break up could lead to private information being shared on social media, due to pettiness. Furthermore, hackers looking for exclusive details, could find credit card informations or phone numbers.  "Cat fishing" is a modern way of compromising someone's social media.

If I were  hired by Baruch College to use  new media  to improve the College, my first suggestion would be to improve the CUNY portal and CUNY first pages. I would suggest updating the systems to make the pages more  modern and manageable. I would offer help in giving the pages a face lift; make it easier to search for your classes and communicate with professors, and make a quick guide or informational that first times users can access understand how to navigate the pages, especially helpful for freshman or transfer students. Another suggestion would be to make an app for these websites. It would be so much easier for students and faculty to access the pages through the App Store or Play Store, the way you would see Twitter on an expanded web version or in a more compressed mobile app version. Furthermore, I would plea for better Wifi service in the school and places accessible by campus. Currently in college, one of my biggest issues have been not being able to work on my laptop all
