Wiki So Far

So far in our class Wiki I have contributed to the Fashion page, which I suggested the professor create after seeing it had not existed before. I also added to the Love page, just jumping off where another classmate had left off. In the future, I want to add to the Music page, giving my take on the Hispanic/Latino music in my culture.

    Thank you so much for creating the fashion page! That's what I wanted to add on our class wiki! I am interested in fashion, so I will add more contents to be more informative and greater. I will add categories of fashion, the structure of the fashion industry , and campaign with social media. And, that would be great that you share music in your culture. I would like to add some contents about Japanese music in the section too!

      Glad you're interested in it as well. Can't wait to read more about fashion. Also, I like when people include their culture into music, makes it even more unique and fascinating to listen to.

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. It consists of almost stealing someone else's identity, like their gender, photos, and other information to fabricate a new online identity. With this, people form relationships with strangers, while claiming to be someone else. The people who's informatio

Creativity

In a world where minds run free, new media is a platform for fostering creativity. People are constantly innovating and reinventing the internet, meaning that new apps and websites that serve different purposes are constantly being created. We see a lot of creativity being fostered in our younger generation, the millennials and post-millennials, or generation Z. The New York Times article "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?", details how YouTube users started 'mashup' videos, where snippets of animated movies and TV shows are edited together and usually combined with a song. Just think of it as Winnie the Pooh characters rapping to a Soulja Boy song. I know you're wondering, "How do people even think of this?" Well, considering how vast and infinite the internet is, this creativity is not all that surprising. Videos like these gain major popularity and spark inspiration for new experimental behavior on the web. Furthermore, the enhan

P2P

The emergence of the web has made file sharing easy, quick, and convenient, especially through forms like peer-to-peer sharing and file synching services.  According to Wikipedia, "File sharing  is the practice of  distributing  or providing access to  digital media , such as  computer programs ,  multimedia  (audio, images and video), documents or  electronic books ."  P2P File sharing refers to the before mentioned peer-to-peer form of file sharing, which is the distribution of digital media using P2P networking technology. P2P sharing has evolved from its early design stages like Napster, to the more widely known BitTorrent. The widely known adoption of this sharing method  includes increasing Internet bandwidth, the widespread digitization of physical media, and the increasing capabilities of residential personal computers.  However, file sharing has led to copyright and legal issues.  Online piracy refers to illegal, unethical, and unauthorized use of the reproduction of
