The Next New Thing
The next new thing that I want to create for baseball is some sort of nano device can be placed onto baseball equipment in order to track the process during a game. For example, in baseball if this nano device was implement onto baseball bats, you'll be able to get track your performance such as how fast are you swinging the bat, how hard did you make contact with the ball and many more batting tendencies. Likewise, this technological device can be place onto your glove to help track how fast the ball is coming at you, it can help understand of how are you catching the baseball in different locations on the glove and other fielding analysis. This device would be useful for all baseball players that can help improve their skills on or off the field.

Our Class Wiki - So Far
So far I've been only doing research to help make our Wiki page better. I've noticed that the "Sports" section is relatively empty and requires more effort into it. I've decided to to include Major League Baseball into the mix. I am a huge baseball fan and admire the sport so dearly. I will demonstrate how MLB are closely involve of new media. MLB has implemented a platform called MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM) in which is a full service provider of delivering cutting edge digital expericanes of distributing content through all forms of media. It has one of the worl'd best dynamic functionality for web or mobile applications in the sports industry. It allows online users to be connect there devices to obtain live and on demand baseball multimedia. Likewise, MLB have been evolving their online community sch as interacting with their fan base through blogs. I would love to add more features to the Health/Fitness section. I believe many people should be aware of various apps that allows people to exercise or to remain fit and monitor their health lifestyles. Likewise, I would like to contribute to the Web Design section. Being a great web designer, I can show students of different coding scripts that they should become familiar with if the student decides to pursue a career as a Web Developer. I haven't quite decided on the other 2, but I know I'm really passionate of contributing my ideas onto these sections.

What is P2P File sharing? In the article, Digital Pirates Winning Battle With Studios, by Brain Stelter and Brad Stone, they indicate that many people are downloading illegal copies of various content and sharing them over the Internet without consent from these companies. It's a troubling problem because these groups of individual are in line of copyright infringement. People have swapped illegal copies of various content on the Internet for many years. This technique is refereed to as a "slow download process, often using a peer-to-peer technology called BitTorrent, required patience and a modicum of sophistication by users" (Stelter and Stone, 2009). Nowadays, by using a a search engine, online users can find any free copies of various content at any time. Likewise, I believe they need to implement stronger copyright policies to prevent copyright infringement. They more you enforce the stricter regulation, the less amount of users will try to attempt this unethical practice.

Advice to Baruch College
What are some suggestions you would make using new media?
1. I would love to put a professor teacher evaluation system at Baruch College, to allow students to rate their professors according to their performance. Over the past several semesters, I've noticed that student on "RateMyProfessor.com" are not rating of these professors correctly. Many students are not telling the truth about the way professors are not teach. Based on my opinion, there are some lousy professors teaching here on this campus. On some occasions, I needed to withdraw from some of these courses. Students need to be more truthful about their evaluation with some of these professors because it's the only way you can learn from someone who is passionate a about their field of study and not just simply reading from a PowerPoint.
My new teacher evaluation system will have the following criteria:
a. Passionate
b. Clarity
c. Understandable
d. Rating (1-10)
d. Difficulty
e. Participation
f. Additional Comments
2. Another suggestion that I would like to see happen is for professor to engage their students through the Discussion section on Blackboard. I've noticed that many of these professor lacks the enthusiasm of providing help for students or tacking their progress throughout the semester. In this case, the professor can tell the students if he or she will need to withdraw from the course. Likewise, professors can use it for a learning tool for students to ask questions.
3. I would suggest that Baruch should have more online classes and be taught their Skype. It would be a cool experience of interacting with your professors and others. I would help students who have trouble of traveling to this college. It will also help students to become more connected to their professor such as having a conversation about a particular subject that the student didn't clearly understand.
4. I would love to scrap the entire Connect system because it sucks...lol !!!

Creativity and New Media
This this is my gamer account on Xbox Live. If you own an Xbox console, your welcome to kindly send me a friend request. My gamertag is shown throughout the pictures.

Creativity
Discuss how new media fosters creativity?
It's pretty easy for new media to foster creativity just based in the generation we live now. Everyone is out looking for the next biggest or hottest trend in social media. For an example, we have the technology to basically edit any type of videos and design it to our preference. In the article, Disney Tolerates a Rap parody of It's Critter. But Why?, by Brooks Barnes, she illustrates how we can create mash videos from our content and develop the next hottest trend. The technology is there for access to all individual to do what ever they want. Some individuals would prefer to work on new projects such as edit snippets of mash up music videos or animated movies and incorporate their favorite cartoons into it. At the end of the project it results to cartoon actually doing the signing or dancing part. This allows the users to become creative with their idea and probably leading to the next big thing for viewers to share the content across the globe. It creates a new culture for online users to become comedians or just do it to get laughs. Nowadays, YouTube is covered with these type of mash-ups content, and it's a constant reminder that anyone can do it and you just need to put your mind to it.
