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When I got there I saw that someone had already started one, but it looked like it was outdated.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, whether a feature was added or removed from the application.
My next step in this project is to add a few more paragraphs going in more detail about the benefits of everything the app has and how it works. The original author only did a quick overview and that was that. Also, I plan on adding images of the application and how the workouts look when using the app. I replaced the original image with the new logo for the app. I hope to develop this portion of the wiki so that anyone wanting to know more about the Nike Training app or is looking for a fitness app can find all of the info they need in one place. Most of the research for this is coming from my personal experience as a user of the app, as well as from the Nike website.

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...
