Our Class Wiki-So Far

I plan to contribute to our class by showing the various ways people use new media in entertainment. Many music artists use social networks such as Myspace in order to promote their works. Also these music artists and entertainers have twitter pages in order for them to be close to the fans and receive advice. I will contribute to the class wiki by providing the links to the accounts of many popular athletes and entertainer's social networking pages.

The Next Best Thing

As new media becomes more and more popular, new media ideas will only increase. If I had to create the next best thing for new media, it would be an E-Reader just for college student text books. I would also add a feature in so you can communicate with your professor from the E-Reader and also communicate with classmates. This would be a great idea for students who don't like to carry around heavy textbooks. All they need to do is open the book on their E-Reader. If this invention came to pass, communication would increase amongst the course members. This E-Reader could be a product of Blackboard, and would easily allow Blackboard communication on the go.

My Term Paper

The topic of my paper was on if social networking is better than the real thing. I chose this topic because I found it interesting and debatable. It really wasn't hard researching this topic because of the constant advancements in new media.

To get my sources I searched online databases to find scholarly articles where I can learn something from. It was fairly successful in this and it really helped me to get my ideas flowing to write this paper. This paper contributes to new media because if you agree with my topic, then you are for the advancement of new media.
