Wiki So Far

So far I am doing more research on Tik Tok since it has become a popular social media that fosters creativity and interaction. On Wiki there were two different sections for Tik Tok, but one mainly focused on Musical.ly (A stepping stone to creating Tik Tik) and Tik Tok itself, so I edited the Wiki so that there were two different sections. From there I plan on including more information on Tik Tok and how it recently faced being banned during quarantine. It effected a lot of people and there were even petitions being held in order to save the app. That alone shows the influence that new media has on people and how important it is. Especially in times when we couldn't see one another and couldn't go outside, new media like Tik Tok allows us to still interact with others and do something enjoyable to pass the time. I want to update the information on Wiki to also include how Tik Tok changed so many lives, the Tik Tok creators fund that now allows people to get paid for their creations, and more. My research thus far is focused on these subjects more than any. This subject falls under the 'new media in music' category on Wiki.

Next New

Due to this pandemic a lot of students have had to learn to adapt to online learning. While some may prefer this way of learning over in person learning, there are others who are used to seeing their classmates and professors in a classroom setting. This year has been very difficult all around and trying to format learning into an online method hasn't made it any better. I think the next "new media" should focus solely on education and making online learning more interactive.  For example, my sister is 5 years old. She never really went out much before the pandemic due to everyone having busy schedules, but school was a chance for her to go outside and interact with other kids her age. It gave her something else to do other than play on her tablet all day, but now with school being online she doesn't get the same interaction. I worry that this may have an effect on her wanting to go outside and talk to others in the future. In order to change that I think that there s...

Privacy

New media has caused a lot of issues with privacy and confidentiality. Even when you think something is private, it isn't. When you post things on new media such as social media platforms (Twitter, Instagram, etc.), blogs, wikis, etc. you're posting it with the possibility that those you are sharing it to can share it with others and with the possibility that it will portray you in a certain light. By the information being passed around digitally it's nearly impossible to ever rid yourself of something once it's out there. If, for example, there were one physical copy that you had and some of your close friends showed it around it would be easier to dispose of the picture. All you would have to do is destroy the only copy of it. While you can't erase it from the memories of those who have already seen the picture, you no longer have to worry about anyone else seeing it.  With a digital photo on social media, even if you limit your privacy settings to only friends, t...

Creativity

Creativity comes in all different forms. You could write lyrics, make music, write novels, etc. New media gives people the chance to share that creativity with others across the globe. It also challenges them to think of things that have never been done before in order to get a proper following.  Take for example, Youtubers. They blog their everyday lives and post it for others to enjoy. Through the likes and comments they receive on their videos, Youtubers are able to measure how well that video did. They use the feedback that they get from their audience to see what kind of videos they should post next. If their video did really well they might continue to post videos similar to that, but if it did poorly, they might rethink their approach in new creative ways in order to keep their audience entertained. In a world where everyone is doing the same thing (working, going to school, etc.) Youtubers want to stand out. There are lots of people who want to make their lives on yout...
