Blog: P2P

     Computer networks allow you to share information with friends, family, co-workers and customers. Network file sharing is the process of copying data files from one computer to another using a live network connection. Before the Internet and online networks became popular, data files were often shared using cd and dvd disks or usb sticks. Nowadays, networks give you more flexible options.
      File sharing by itself is not necessarily piracy. You are permitted to make a copy of most things for personal use. Access it from multiple devices, you could even say you can legally share something within your physical household and not have to worry about piracy. However, in general, file sharing is actually an individual giving away something that they had no hand in creating "for free". This is called P2P File sharing. In peer-to-peer sharing, you use a software program instead of your web browser to locate computers that have the file you want and then download it. P2P File sharing often illegally share films, music, books. and so on. As I read in the article Should Online Scofflaws Be Denied Web Access?: "The United States Congress held hearings last week on the growing problem of piracy, which the American entertainment industry says accounts for the loss of $20 billion a year in sales". The most popular peer-to-peer file sharing websites are BitTorrent. uTorrent. The Pirate Bay. But be careful,  P2P file sharing can subject you to spyware, viruses, Trojan horses, worms and identity theft.

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.

There are few ways in which new media can be used to improve Baruch College: We can put the large screens on each floor of college.
