Blog: Wiki So Far

As I am familiar with what new media services artists use to market themselves to the public and to potential businesses that would like to commission them for their games, business, advertisements, etc., I will be looking in expanding information in aforementioned art-sharing websites posted on our New Media Wiki site.

By taking from my own experience and looking into the platforms themselves, I will also be including how platforms like Twitter and Instagram that were initially meant for social media, has become another platform for artists to share their art on and how artists have positioned themselves to make use of the features each platform offers (like hashtags, Moments, Lists, and so forth).

In addition, I will also be looking at other art-sharing websites that do not seem to be mentioned in our wiki, but are very commonly used by many artists, not secluded to the USA alone.

In terms of appearance, I have also noticed the position of some images in the wiki can be improved and I noticed some spelling errors in names of programs or games, so I will be looking into editing those as well.

Blog: Privacy

New media has certainly changed people's expectations of privacy, especially when things become digitized. Lots of celebrities and social media influencers have been thrown under fire and bashed for past tweets or posts they've once said. But even if they delete it, once it's on the internet, it'll stay there (as there's always a chance someone will screenshot and post the picture or repost an upload in a different site). I think there are many repercussions that come with the convenience and entertainment of new media. Nowadays, it's easy to say convenience often comes with a price, especially when it comes with the internet. For instance, when purchasing items from your favorite website, you can input your credit card number and make the purchase. For the sake of convenience, you may choose to save your credit card information with your account for easy and quick purchases. But with that ease of purchase, that convenience provided by the website, comes...

Research Topic: New Media on Art and Entertainment

My research topic will revolve around how new media has impacted the art and entertainment industry. I will discuss how people in the arts and entertainment industry have benefited from the rise of social media, but also the complications that come with new media. Some examples include chargebacks, copyright infringement, theft, and so forth. I will delve into how new media has changed the way artists do commissions and how artists have grounded their business upon these new platforms. In addition, I will also branch into music, literature, movies, and other forms of entertainment and how it's been affected by the development of new media, as each type has their own story to tell.

Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

Nowadays, virtual worlds are often associated with games, especially MMORPGs. MMORPGs stand for massively multiplayer online role-playing game. MMORPGs allow the user to create and customize a character and interact with other characters (owned and created by real people) in a virtual world. These games are often associated with younger audiences, ranging from children to adolescent to teens to young adults — all depending on which game you decide to play. Although games often have a bad rep for being “wasteful” or encouraging procrastination in kids, they provide a platform for those who may have a harder time socializing or adjusting in the real world. This may be due to mental or physical disorders, trauma, surgeries, accidents, and so forth. These virtual worlds allow these people to socialize, speak, and even establish organizations for a cause that they may relate to. In Nicole Saidi's article "'Naughty Aunties' battle autism with virtual interaction,...
