Creativity

   
Social Media has revolutionized the way we consume news, communicate with friends, and interact with brands.Social media has become a part of our daily life. Social networks have become accessible by almost all out digital devices including computers, mobile phones, tablet devices, and wearable technology such as Google glasses and the Apple watch. 
     Technologies are fast changing, so we should always be one step in front of them. That's why new media fosters creativity. When you make videos on YouTube or write in your blog, you want to see changes from year to year. You make the best you can to "grow" and become better in new media. As I read in the paper YouTube Traffic Characterization: A View From the Edge: "With the rise of Web 2.0 technologies on the Web, there is a need to understand their workload patterns, in order to plan, design, and build more efficient delivery infrastructures".
    Also, media helps you to explore new ideas and inspirations. In the old days, we used to search in huge library of books to learn about specific design style. Design and visual arts are part of the most favorable media shared on social networks. It provides for the growth of ideas from the creations of blogs, podcasts, videos and gaming sites.
    But, as with anything that can become addictive, social media addiction can quickly derail all of our creativity and productivity. The important thing is to find a balance.

Which makes the privacy almost compromised.  Personal data and privacy can easily be hacked and shared through the Internet.  Automatic face recognition can lead to the theft of personality, because it shares your private information to a large amount of users. Social media network should limit the function of face recognition to some extent or use it only in special cases, not on daily basis. Social networks must pay attention to how they use photos and bio-metric data because there is nothing more personal or susceptible to identification than a person’s face and private information. Nowadays a lot of security agencies have an access to people personal accounts, which makes the privacy very suspicious. Social media often store, share and copy all the personal information you enter without y

Blog: Next New

New media is quickly changing thing. It always replace the old and come up with the new. I would like to offer a new "new media" device. Such that it will allow users to be present near each other even if they are far away. For example, if you are in New York and your friend is in Paris, you will press the button on the new device and you will be "transferred" to Paris. It will copy your projection and transfer it to any place you want. And your friend will see the projection of you walking near himself. Maybe it will be the device, that will replace our computers and phones. I found some pictures to show how it should work.
