Next New

One form of new media that does not currently exist would be the next level of virtual reality. A way to effectively plug ourselves into a world where we can explore new worlds, the ability to touch and interact with either other user or artificial intelligence. This form of technology would definitely change the landscape of entertainment and learning. How one would be able to create this new media as well as the risk associated with this "connection" has yet to be decided but i believe that this may be a new form of media that we currently do not have.

    As someone who completely believes in the power of technology and AI, I think what you're expecting is beyond today's predictions of foreseeable future. It's something that even the most fictional movies hardly depict. I don't think it would be some kind of new media and rather, it would simply be called teleportation.

Privacy

The age of new media comes with many perks: the ability to access vast amounts of information at our fingertips, the ability to openly express ideas and opinions with others without constraint and the ability to consume entertainment unlike the kinds in traditional media. With many pros comes with cons; the youth have been exposed to an era where they feel the need to share everything to everyone. With that amount of open data in the internet, companies have begun using that data to analysis our behaviors and interests which they use to either advertise or sell our data to third parties. As such, sites such as social media platforms and blogs run such a risk. The significance of privacy and confidentiality become more apparent when hidden in many sites contain terms of services which dictate that your personal information is being harvested. Hopefully, in the coming years, our society will become more concern with privacy.

Advice

With every passing day, the importance of new media is apparent to the running to our world. New media has given us the ability to easily express ideas and well as information. It has also given us the ability to quickly communicate with others. As such, one potential suggestion to improve Baruch College would be the use of virtual reality in teaching. Some students may benefit greatly when taught with hands-on rather than purely through powerpoint or chalkboard. The implementation of virtual reality or VR would allow students to virtualize the content being taught. Another suggestion would be to take full advantage of the digital medium and teach via livestream. This would allow students to skip the commute as well as benefit from the comfort of their own homes(Hopefully not too much.)
