Creativity and New Media

One of my favorite hobbies is photography. I love the idea of looking at the world in a different perspective and being able to capture that perspective with the click of a button. Thanks to social media, I'm able to share my content with people around the world. However, I don't just post the raw image onto social media. I like to get to creative with it, and display it in ways that are more aesthetic and pleasing to people's eyes.

My main source of showcasing my content is Instagram. I either post my content through the Instagram feed itself, or through Instagram stories. To make my content more appealing, I use this mobile app called mojo. It's a video editing app that gives life and animation to my photos. I love using it to create Instagram stories. Below, is a link where you can see an Instagram Story I created using mojo to share some pictures from my solo trip to Puerto Rico!

How can Baruch use new media? With the COVID-19 pandemic suddenly changing the education environment, I have to give some credit to Baruch in its success at implementing distance learning. Baruch already offers a good amount of classes that take place either partially online or fully online. However, there are many things Baruch can do to make better use of technology and thrive in this digital age. Innovative Content Curation Baruch College has accounts on all the main social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. However, their content doesn't do so much to attract potential students. They need to curate content that will get students interested more in the school. Some ideas would be making a video collage of current students sharing their experiences at Baruch, or even marketing Baruch's clubs is engaging. Webinars Thanks to online conferences like Zoom and streaming services like Twitch, it's easy to have a virtual lesson or webinar

Privacy

"What goes on the Internet, stays on the Internet." It's a saying we've all heard and know too well.  We all have the right to have some secrecy about our personal information but unfortunately, a ny information or photos put on the Internet is always at risk of being revealed to the public. If you think that you have privacy on social media, well then think again. Internet privacy does not exist. When you're shopping for new clothes, posting a picture on Instagram, or even talking to your friend about how you want to travel to Greece, your audience is much bigger than you think. Many third-party applications store and collect your data using what is called cookies. You probably noticed that most of the sites you visit often have a banner that says something along the lines of "this site uses cookies to better your experience" and then you have the choice to either accept the cookies or reject them. You can thank the Cookie Law for this one. In May

Interactive holographic technology is going to be the next big thing. Holography is a photographic technique that uses light (ie. lasers) to produce a recording in a three-dimensional form. Many companies that produce holograms are doing a lot of research to create an innovative and immersive experience for its users. This means that holograms won't just be projections, but a technology that we can interact with and move. Technology like this will be useful in many industries, especially medicine. I imagine this type of technology to be extremely useful in medical schools and hospitals, where they can simulate medical situations and surgeries. Further in the future, I imagine this technology to be available to everyone in industries such as social media and video games. Holography has great potential, and I can't wait to see the innovations engineers will create with it.
