Blog about Twitter


              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. I think, Blackboard discussions are more academic based, while twitter discussions are not limited, you tweet whatever you want based on any trending news or any ideas you would like to share with your followers. It is fact that Students should choose blackboard for class discussions rather than Twitter. Since we have different followers on twitter, our  tweets on academic purposes may annoy them to read. These two platforms are great to use for discussions, but they operate differently and we should choose one of them based on our purpose of posting to those discussions.

Next New

 In our modern life the technology is changing everyday. Digital media is constantly evolving with new features and apps. It is really exciting to think about how new media will look like in the future. I think the influence of social media that we are using today to communicate with friends and family, to exchange information and data with each other will tremendously  increase. Nowadays, we use different apps and websites for different tasks to complete. For example, Instagram for pictures, Facebook for news and communications, YouTube for videos, Whatsapp for messaging, Uber for riding. In near future, we may have an app that will combine all of those social medias into one application. People would use this app to fulfill all of their needs. Because, it would be much more easier to people use one site instead of hundreds for different tasks. On the other hand it would also build a virtual personality and trustworthiness for businesses. Why for businesses? I will simply ex...

Privacy

Recently, I have discussed some privacy issues in my term paperwork. Privacy is both ethical and legal concept. It should be protected with implementation of confidentiality and security. Nowadays, as new media is replacing the old fashioned system, the privacy issues are also increasing day by day. Social medias like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. are misusing user’s personal information. Even some of those information are being sold to ad companies in order to advertise their products for particular people who uses a search engine to look for any products or simply having a conversation with someone else on social media. For example, recently I was chatting with my friend and we were planning our vacation in Miami. Approximately after 10 seconds when I refreshed my news feed ads on Hotels and flights popped up in my feed. That means that every message you text on social media is being observed by ad agencies. Moreover, a healthcare system is also using digital media fo...

Advice

Social media has brought a ton of opportunities for students and professionals to build business networks. Baruch College is already using a new media for student’s homework activities and library services. However, I believe that if college expands the use of new technology within campus would benefit more students than now. Most of the students commute from different boroughs, even from neighbor states to the campus to attend classes. First of all, they spend time and money in order to get to college to attend lectures. Instead of attending in class lectures I would recommend and create a live lectures where students and professors would communicate through online video sessions with each other just being at home. It would basically save everyone’s time and money. Additionally, I would also advice to Baruch College to create a new media platform like social networking app within college students in order to help each other with school materials such as books, calculators, headphone...
