Creativity and New Media

Creativity and New Media

    New media has enabled us to become creative in many ways that was unimaginable just few years ago.  For this assignment, I used Instagram to create a story where I can connect and interact with my current and potential followers.  Instagram now allows variety of ways that enable dynamic interaction between its users.  Few of those features include questions box, poll and quiz on stories that last for 24 hour span once posted.  
    In my Instagram story, I used multiple features to make it more attractive and there are few potential business opportunities as well.  I just tried to be casual with the question and included a countdown.  I also included a song that I thought goes well with the story.  If this story was for business then the question could've been about an upcoming album drop by an artist who wants to advertise on social media platform.  The countdown would be the release date and time.  And the music would be a snippet or a teaser from one of the songs in the album drop.

    I like what you did for instagram and I think it is very cool that IG is giving people the freedom to interact with their followers. Though we live in a time where social media is a huge part of people's lives I think that people mostly interact with who they know already. People rarely private message all their followers because there is probably nothing to talk about. Being able to interact with all your followers and have a mutual idea to talk about will make it easier to talk to someone even if you just follow each other and never had a real conversation.

    In the past, I never thought that I could do such various activities through Instagram. Like you said, it's amazing how singers can promote their albums through Instagram countdown. Existing marketing companies will also have to strive to keep up with the development of these social networks.

Blog: Wiki So Far

 Blog: Wiki So Far     Creating blog posts has been a good experience for me. I have so far created 11 blog posts and I love the process of researching and publishing my thoughts. I have given feedback to many classmates on their blog post through comments and I find it the best way to go about changing or editing wiki contents as it is a respectable approach in my opinion.      I have created numerous blog post that focus on new media and the best one I think was "Creativity and New Media". I had the freedom to create instagram story that focus on an interactive prompt where followers could respond back to me and multiple additional features that would enable me to promote products for commission.

Blog vs. Wiki

Blog vs. Wiki Blogs and wikis are web 2.0 technologies that allow creators to host an array of material from text to videos and music online.  Unlike previous web 1.0 technologies, they allow visitors to interact, contribute material and publish new content. Generally speaking a blog post is one person's opinion where people can opt in to have a discussion through comments.  It is geared towards sharing of news, knowledge or expertise.  Being a blogger with huge following allows the blogger to profit through advertisement on their blog site or by using affiliate marketing where they promote products from sponsors.   While blogs allow readers to interact with the blogger through comments it however, doesn't allow them to modify the blog posts.  And this is one key distinction between blogs and wikis.  Wikis are more collaborative due to the fact that they enable readers to modify content that are already posted or even create new content page where othe...

Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

 Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds      Virtual reality is a computer generated stimuli that creates a immersive illusion of real world like experience.  In my opinion, it is the next big thing after the smartphone revolution.  It has a lot of potential to make our world a better place as it can be used for education and medical purposes.  But it also raises the concern of privacy breaches, internet addiction and toxic online behavior.        We all know VR would greatly enhance the gaming experience but its positives go way beyond that.  It shows promising applications for pain relief and PTSD, for education and design. It can also be used for both telecommuting and office work, enabling coworkers to have that almost office vibe without being there and in our time a socially distanced work environment.        Although VR has all of these amazing application purposes to make our lives better it ...
