Blog about Twitter

Compared to Blackboard discussions, Twitter discussions are a lot easier to type up. You have a specific character count you have to meet in order to have your post go up. This means you need to be straight to the point. Sometimes in a Blackboard discussion, you can get caught up with really long essays and responses, increasing the possibility of missing out on something important. Furthermore, the Twitter interface is a lot sleeker and easier to use than Blackboard. I use Twitter pretty often so I like it.

Furthermore, between in-class discussions and Twitter discussions, there are both pros and cons to each. The pros of twitter discussions are that you can respond when you get the chance. It's more convenient. However, since everything is digital you do miss out on that personal interaction you would have with someone if you were having that discussion in real life. Meaning that someone's point of view might get misunderstood from what the original post was intended for.

    Hi Marvin!

    I agree with Twitter discussions a lot easier to type up and getting straight to the point! I believe a con of twitter is when you do want to give examples of something and explain it, it won't allow you to since there's a character limit. Twitter is more fun to use than Blackboard too because you can also see content from who you're following (celebrities, friends, influencers, etc.).

Blog: Wiki So Far

What I have done, thus far, in regards to the class wiki is figuring where I want to contribute. I have so many interests and ideas, that getting this down was step one. I have decided that I want to contribute to the Health and Fitness section as I wanted to talk about the Nike Training app that I have been using these past few days. It's been a tremendous resource for me helping me cope with everything that's currently happening. It's also given me a new perspective in the way I see fitness and an overall healthy lifestyle.  When I got there I saw that someone had already started one, but it looked like it was outdated. Originally the app was called Nike+ Training but at some point, during the past few years (or months), they rebranded themselves to Nike Training Club or NTC for short. The same has happened to their other apps. That being said, I began working on the overview message of what the other person had written down. I updated key details that have changed...

Blog: Next New

The next big thing that I see coming in the new media world is a virtual reality networking platform. Virtual reality and augmented reality are both two growing technologies in many aspects of our society. For virtual reality, we put on a set of goggles that will take us to another dimension, or a virtual reality. The way I see this happening is something like that of Animal Crossing on the switch. People will be able to create their own characters, who can look like they do in person or can be designed whatever character of their imagination. Maybe for security purposes, the user will have to take a selfie and the platform would create the virtual character for that person. People will have the ability to meet anyone they want, sort of like our social media now. The main difference is that you will be able to explore the world around you and be able to interact with others. You're no longer in a 2-D platform, you will now be in a 3-D environment. Right now, the technologies are no...

Blog: P2P

File sharing is the ability to share data, aka files, from one user to another user. Usually, this would include things such as videos, documents, audio, and meta-data. This can be done through a system of networks or over the internet. This way the other person can see or have access to your files.  P2P or Peer-to-Peer sharing is a community-based file sharing platform or way of sharing files. The files are added to a platform so anyone on the internet can have access to that file or files. Some popular examples of P2P file sharing are LimeWire and BitTorrent. These file-sharing platforms are basically like the wild west when it comes to sharing files. If someone manages to get access to top-secret files or ways to hack into a system, someone can post it up on here. Another example of P2P file-sharing system includes Lending Club. They have created this new platform for a,  "more direct funding process between the investors and the borrowers ... There's no branch network. Eve...
