Wiki so Far

As, I have not added any content yet, I plan to expand the twitch.tv tab as well as the gaming tab in the wiki. I plan to research the history of both of these tabs. In the case of twitch.tv, I would like to add a Justin.tv as part of twitch.tv history. I also plan to expand the gaming tab to include Esports of certain games as well as more general history of gaming.

Other examples of these P2P file sharing would be Utorrent or Streamable.

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.)
