Wiki So Far

 I have currently not started to contribute to the wiki page.  But I'm looking forward to contribute and added the gaming page by adding new upcoming games with future releases and even future consuels that will be released.  I am also going to add the health and fitness page and maybe the sports page.  I am also thinking about starting to creat the marketing page as well, but I have not yet decided.

P2P File Sharing


File sharing is the practice or ability to transmit files from one computer to another over a network or the Internet. It can be done privately or publicly. If many people are file sharing they may all have different access privileges or the same access privileges allowing them to see the information that is being shared? P2P file sharing allows users to access media files such as books, movies, music and games. It stands for peer-to-peer file sharing. As mentioned in the article "peers find less pressure borrowing from each other". An example of P2P file sharing is I have some music on my computer and I want to share it with my friend so we share the files over a network on the Internet and he receives all my music to his computer.

Privacy

 Privacy is becoming a really big issue when it comes to new media.  A lot of social networking sites make it pretty difficult to find what remains public and what remains private to people using that social networking site.  A lot of people there privacy because of this particularly people were just starting off with using social networking sites and new media.  They are most at risk because they do not know much about the privacy issue and how to set up privacy terms on the sites. Confidentiality comes into play because  once you lose your privacy you can't or it is hard to keep things confidential from people you want to keep them from.  I personally think privacy is a really big issue when talking about new media and it must be addressed more often,  and social networking site should make it easier to find the privacy button.

Advise

 If was hired by college to use new media  to improve the college I would do it in one very simple way.  I would use Facebook or a social networking site such as Instagram and go research the page that the college created for those sites and see what people are talking about and what they are discussing.  If I would see any complaints I would address it to the college and hopefully something will be done about it . I think this is a very good and effective way to seek improvements for institutions.
