Advice

One major improvement that Baruch College can make is to get its students more involved in the student life. Baruch itself is known for being a commuter school and I can certainly agree with that being a transfer student from a big campus school. Comparing to out of town large campus schools, Baruch lacks that ability to bring its students more involved. So, one major change could be a use of social media to get everyone involved. The school can invest and develop a very resourceful platform in which the social can promote all kinds of news and events  which students can attend and generally be aware of. For example, if the school organizes a concert, it can run a very well organized campaign to promote that. In the end, not only students will all come together, but the school can also benefit financially and from getting more followers and likes. Also worth pointing out that the school can use its developed social media platforms to inform its students and faculty about changes in the university's policies and reforms. So overall, using platforms of new media can only be beneficial to our school.

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.

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.

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'...
