For my research topic, I will attempt to answer the questions: How has social media positively and negatively impacted the fashion world/industry? In what ways has it changed society’s perspective on body image and self-love? Why has social media became a cornerstone for cyber bullying?

    That's a great idea!! I feel it has definitely changed the society's perspectives on body images because it's not the same exact body types being used to advertise clothing now, it has opened up people's minds, and given people with different types of body types courage! Good Luck with your research topic, its a good one :)

    Hi, my research project is about how new media impacts e-commerce, however I concentrate more on apparel or fashion e-commerce. So, it is something close to your topic. I did't include any negative aspects of social media's negative effects on fashion industry. What are your examples?

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...

Blog about Twitter

Twitter Vs. Blackboard: Are they all that different? Many would be thrown off by this topic, as to why Twitter is being compared to Blackboard. They're used on different platforms for different purposes (depending on who'd you ask), however, alike they create discussion activities. Twitter is a social media engine, where you "tweet" 140-character long posts discussing whatever you'd like. You can follow the pages you like, retweet, reply, and favorite tweets. Blackboard is solely an educational tool used by CUNY students and professors to connect online. Comparable to Twitter, Blackboard has the option to post questions or open discussions over any concerns or inquiries, most likely pertaining to the class at hand. Classmates and professors can respond in the discussions. Both tools have the ability to host private and/or public discussions. Blackboard has no character limit; no restrictions on how long your discussion may be. Therefore, this tool is more prac...

Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

A virtual world is an online computer-based environment meant for users to interact in a three-dimensional world. According to Forbes, children are the most avid users of these 3-D worlds, using their accounts for social connection, entertainment, and learning. These virtual worlds ignite a world of creativity  —  Jacki Forbes, a virtual world designer, explains to Forbe. "I create a lot of art — some computer assemblage, some physical art. I also do creative writing and am working on a book that looks at the uses of virtual worlds for NASA's long duration flight missions," she states. However, virtual worlds does not indicate a perfect world. According to Health magazine online, research suggest that how you represent yourself in the virtual world may affect your behavior with people in the real world. Users become extremely "keyed" into the game and that leads to powerful imitative effects in those that wear virtual masks. Overall, I was never interested n...
