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.

Blog v Wiki

We have so much information at the tip of our fingers. With the tap of a few buttons we could search up anything and find multiple sources of information on it. We could share our thoughts and opinions with others and have immediate feedback from people all over the world. Wikis and Blogs are just some of the platforms that make such things possible. Whether or not the information provided to us is reliable is a completely different story.  One important similarity between wikis and blogs is that they both inspire others to share their thoughts and opinions. It brings people together to work collaboratively. In the article Brooklyn Blog Helps Lead to Drug Raid by Michael Wilson (2008) a group of people combined their information in a blog to bust a Drug Raid. One of the contributors to the blog, Mr.Miller stated "a core group of seven people who met through the blog brought the case to the attention of the community board and met with authorities."A group of people who did no...

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...

Social Networking Sites

If I'm not at work, doing school work, sleeping or eating, I will check my social media accounts. I haven't really posted much on them lately just because I have so much to do, but I do notice what type of environment I'm entering every time I log into my accounts. With Facebook I always feel a sense of connection. There isn't anything too complicated about Facebook other than its privacy and posting settings. It allows you to connect with your family and friends that might live a distance away. You are able to see what they're doing and how they're feeling based on what they post and share. Of course they could be putting a fake smile on and posting happy things when they are sad, but that's another story. Also, on Facebook you are able to learn more about people you don't know. It's a networking site that allows us to get to know others. It feels mainly positive.  When I log into Twitter I get a more calm laid back vibe where I can more or less be ...
