Creativity



In recent years, various platforms of new media has allowed people to foster creativity in many ways and dimensions. Making videos, bloopers, vines has been very popular amongst all ages and groups and with the variety of media platforms it became much more accessible leading to people vividly express their creative ideas. I would like to point out YouTube, a huge platforms for videos and especially for people creating their own content. Make up tutorials, video gameplays, clips have been getting millions of views. I'm shocked how much of a huge business the videos of toys for little kids became generating millions of likes and of course dollars. In "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?", it states how people have been making mash ups of famous cartoons and creating their own videos changing the ideas and content while making it more fun and entertaining. I personally always prefer to watch videos like those for entertainment, and some of them are actually very funny. For example, the videos where they take the politicans' speeches and insert different words and calling it Lip Reading and it becomes just a hilarious video of a President talking about cheeseburgers and unicorns. I think it's great that we have the ability and needed platforms for people to have fun and create the kind of content where anything can be turned to completely different.

Turning (ON) the Page: Research on Electronic Literature

I chose to do my project on research on electronic literature. The reason why I chose this topic is because this is something that constantly surrounds us and something we can all relate to. Electronic literature has been a steadily growing market. With research on this topic, I'll be able to touch upon several perspectives such as sociological, technological, and educational. I'll discuss how electronic or digital literature is having an impact on the society and how we're adapting to such a big change. While the traditional ways of reading and receving information still exists, the appear of digital literature certainly is making a big difference. And the people's perception and acceptance of such drastic change certainly splits into two sides of opinion.

Privacy

While the new media has been very useful impactful in our day and age, we constantly face a threat to our privacy. While social media platforms with its huge amounts of users are always growing, cybersecurity has certainly been lacking a real protection. Just during the past couple of years, we've had major news about platforms such as Google and Facebook wrongly using its users' saved data including personal information, preferences, pictures, and even location. What's even more worse is when we know that they sell our information for billions of dollars and the companies that invest heavily into obtaining people's data make their business decisions and aim at certain audiences based on the obtained information. Still to this day, we hear news about data breaching which puts us a society in a great jeopardy. It's not at all comfortable to know that your information and even info such as what kind of things you go shopping for are all out there in the open. It'

Next New

While trying to come up with a new technology in my head, I realized that in our day and age we have the luxury of possessing nearly every single technology that's available, useful, and helpful for an average customer like myself. Considering my term paper was about the impact of E-books on our society, I came up with an idea of creating better and more entertaining e books for education. E books that would provide audio and video content while a student scrolls through a text. It would be a very helpful technology and feature overall for all ages whether it's 3rd material with more pictures for the little student or a scholar's complex ideas broken down into well displayed images or video. I can imagine scrolling down the pages and having a nice compact projector like screen on the left that describes and vividly portrays what's written. So certainly, the literature field can use some improvements and newer inventions to make any kind of material easier to grasp.
