Blog: Wiki So Far

In the class Wiki, I had done some revision on some of the contents. I did some grammar correction and sentence structures. I have edited the Mass Media page on our class wiki. I also added a picture of the new media contents. I added a picture with all of the social media.

I did not add any new content towards our wiki page. This is what I will be focusing on throughout this week and next week. I think I will add new content in the Mass Media page to better relate to our class topic. This can be the influence of Mass Media. Also, I would like to add new content to the sports wiki. This is related to my term paper. I will talk about the Advantage and disadvantage of using social media in the NBA and its impact of its players.

Blog: P2P

File sharing is the transmits of the file to one or more people. It means that a person wants to share what he has across the internet and across by hand. It can be a document, a paper, music file or a written essay file. File sharing is what you have and share it with someone else.

P2P stands for peer to peer. It meant for giving something that a person has to another person. P2P file can be physically transfers of file or electrically. It happens when one person to share a file with someone else. The person can either physically handout the copy of the file, or he can also transmit the file through social media, email, downloads or websites. There are unlimited amounts of ways to share a file with today's technology.

One of the examples of P2P is lending a loan. According to the article "Peers find less pressure borrowing from each other" by Wendy Kaufman, it stated that in more recent days, it is harder to get a loan from the bank even if you have a good credit history. However, there is a new type of loan in the modern days. Where third party agent will get investors to provide loan to those who needed. This is an example of P2P, the loan is not provided by an agency or bank, but it is through another peer or person. It will have less restriction and limitation. It will have less interest rate for the loan.

Blog: Privacy

In today's world, internet security is one of the main concern. The reason for this is that almost everyone in the world was able to use the internet, and the internet can lead to different media platforms. And social media platforms are extremely vulnerable to a different security threat, like privacy and confidentiality. Hackers can use worms or virus to get access to your social media accounts and eventually find out about your name, date of birth and even address. Privacy and confidentiality are extremely hard to protect due to the high level of technology that we have today. Social media platforms can be an easy way for a hacker to get hold of your personal information and eventually take advantage of it. Either expose your identity through online or even identity theft. New Media had help hacker's to find a target more easily and giving hackers a platform to penetrate the privacy and confidentiality.

Blog: Advice

Baruch College should expand its social media platforms. Not just on Facebook, which I see it regularly. It should be expanded from Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram. Also, on Facebook, the follower of Baruch College FB page is not as high as I would expect it to be. Baruch College needs to get more followers and should post some different news daily. It is all about constancy and patient. Baruch College needs to use more of the flashing side of the Social Media Platforms. Should use more color picture and funny picture. Baruch College social media is extremely boring. It is lacking life and enjoyment. Which made Baruch College less fun.
