Creativity and New Media

Hey everyone, for this assignment I decided to create an avatar of myself. This is a great way to bring out the creativity in an individual. They can either make something close to what they look like or be creative and create a completely new character with wild hair and pink eyes! I created this avatar avatar using a website I found on the internet. Below is the final product.

    Hi Gurminder! I believe we used the same website to create the avatar that resemble ourselves. I found the website to be extremely cool especially considering that it is free for anyone to use. I am definitely going to be using this in the future.

New Media can be defined as a way of mass communicating with the use of the internet. It can take many forms with examples including computer games, social media apps and other forms of multimedia. After brainstorming a bit, I thought of a form of new media that I feel can prove to be very beneficial and can soon be the next big thing. Right now, through our banking apps, we can directly send someone with the same bank money. (Ex. Chase Quickpay). If we want to send someone money with a different bank, (Ex. Chase to Citi) we run into a problem and would have to use a third-party service such as Venmo or the Cash App. But wait, what if the other person doesn’t have the third-party app such as Venmo or Cash app. Then the individual would have to install the extra app and create a new account. Personally, I feel seamless banking solutions such as having the ability to send someone money with a different banking provider directly through your banking app over a secured network will be the

Social Networking

Technology is a key component in our everyday lives. Wherever we go we are faced with technology and its impacts. Technology can be very useful and help us with our everyday lives. LinkedIn can serve as a great example. This social networking platform has made it more convenient for individuals to connect with one another on a more professional basis. In addition, this platform has also made the jobs of recruiters easier as they now have a platform to search through for candidates. According to the article “Social Networking Technology Boosts Job Recruiting” by Frank Langfitt, recruiters now can search through a wide variety of individuals based on a certain skill or keyword. “But what really makes LinkedIn helpful is that it allows users to share their online Rolodexes. “Shally Steckerl used to hunt talent for Microsoft and is a leader in online recruiting. With LinkedIn, he can find people faster using a vastly increased network of contacts” (Langfitt 1). This example shown from Ste

New Media is a very popular concept today. We are surrounded by it most places we go as it is gradually accelerating in growth. New Media refers to digital media that involves mass communication such as the internet (computer, phones, etc.). Creativity is a big topic that you see with new media. A great example can be seen through the social networking platform “YouTube”. This allows users to share content that they create themselves, whether it’s an educational video, a comedy video, or a video simply about their lifestyle. These can be all seen as forms of self-creativity. Another example can be seen by New York Times article “Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?” written by Brooks Barnes. Barnes discusses how Disney is tolerating “rap-parody” videos of its characters created by content creators. One of the spokesman from Nickelodeon even noted how the editing of one of the videos was really good. This all goes to show how New Media fosters creativity and is a bre
