"SOCIAL NETWORKING: A Purposeful Loss of Privacy" by Azimdjon Gaziev

    In this blog I am going to write about a creativeness which new media allows us to do. As an example, I chose to talk about virtual platform "Second Life". Second Life is an online environment that created by Linden Lab a company based in San Francisco. Second Life is a virtual community that allows people to create their avatars and design them which represents themselves within virtual world. In the Second Life you are basically able to design your life, land, house, avatar and etc. This is a creative way of using new media. These days virtual sites like Second Life are becoming popular among young generation. After being assigned to create my own avatar I downloaded this site and designed my own avatar. It was interesting to see that how new media allows people to be more creative and design such sites and live in virtual world. You can also go to social gatherings, concerts, even college classes. They basically can do a lot of stuff that you can do in real life. Seco

            There is no doubt that New Media has changed our world, but one of the most advantages of this is that it helps people to foster creativity, especially for young generation of our society. Nowadays in every aspect of our life and career we must be "creative" in order to be more productive and foster our life. Today, even on social media instead of sharing a regular text posts, images and short videos have more social engagements. Social media with more visual contents such as images, videos and creative tools are tend to become more successful than other ones. It is proven that such creativeness  is a success on the social market.                               User generated contents, such as, short videos on "Tiktok" or other social media sites are becoming popular among young generation. It also helps younger people to open their creativeness and discover their talents. On the other hand, some big technology and non-technology companies are embracin

              How does a Twitter discussion compare to a Blackboard discussion or in-class discussion?          Comparing those two discussion methods, the first comparison to a Twitter discussion compared to a Blackboard discussion is limited words in your posts. On Twitter you can tweet posts in a limited words. You can post their some ideas, news, or your thoughts but you are not able to express yourself fully as you do on blackboard discussions. Also, when you tweet on Twitter, your tweet will be visible to all users or you can just limit it to your followers only. You will also be able to read other people's tweets worldwide. On Blackboard your discussion posts are available only to your classmates and your professor. Other people except them will not be able to read your posts.

You can also share your memories, pictures or any of your thoughts with your friends and followers. It basically helps people and businesses to connect and communicate with each other. On the other hand, a social media like Twitter limits users' post to a limited characters. You cannot write articles or long posts on Twitter while you can tweet your
