Blog vs. Wiki

-
There are quite a few distinctions when it comes to comparing a Blog and a Wiki. By definition, according to The University of New South Wales, a blog is "An online journal, diary or news column with posts in reverse chronological order and options for readers to comment. On the other hand, a wiki is "An easily-edited set of one or more linked web pages that readers can add to or modify". It is also noted, a wiki facilitates collaborative content creation. Furthermore, when it comes to ownership, a blog has an individual owner, while a wiki has multiple.

Ultimately, what you use is your specific preference as a blog and wiki are useful in their own ways. In terms of a blog, even though there is an individual owner the use of the comments allows collaboration because people are able to give their own personal insight onto the blog. At the moment, I don't believe there can be another significant function of a wiki as it is used to its furthest abilities in my opinion.

I believe it is difficult to really formulate new forms of new media due to the fact new media essentially just forms from the evolution of prior forms. However, I do believe there will be a rise in ideas within new media. As technology has progressed, the general public has stressed the significance of security and protection. Furthermore, ideas such as Bitcoin garnered popularity within the past two years or so due to the idea of security and protection with your transactions as compared to current forms of currency. Thus, I believe this factor will implement itself with the idea of new media specifically social media because the aspect of protection of information and such on social media is prominent. I believe there will be a rise in some form of anonymous social media where it would prevent the actions of information stealing and such. These forms were existent within the past when there will typical chat spaces where anyone can enter and have some form of anonymity, however, I b

Wiki So Far

-
So far I have been contributing to parts of the Wiki that I am interested in. I am interested in Fashion brands and thus I have contributed to the Fashion pages as I saw it didn't include many popular brands today such as sportswear brands like Nike or Adidas. Thus, I created a sub page for the Nike and Adidas. Additionally, I am into music and one of my favorite artists is Kanye West. I also saw there wasn't a page for him in the Music page and thus created one. Also, Kanye had worked with Adidas which is pretty significant today for Adidas and so I also linked his page in the Adidas portion. Overall, I have contributed to pages that I am interested in and topics I like such as fashion and music. I will intend to also continue contributing more into these pages as well as branch out to other pages such as Finance, as I am majoring in it.

Blog: Privacy

-
Privacy seems to be a significant factor that is consistently spoken about these days. This is due to the ever-changing environment of technology and media. As technology gets more advanced, it becomes much more complex and smarter to obtain information as drastic speeds. This causes issues to the privacy of people because there seems to be less and less protection involved with withstanding these changing technologies.  Additionally, new media thrives off the acquirement of data especially in a world where there are advertisements practically everywhere to constantly drive revenue of businesses for the economy. This was seen with the issues with Facebook in recent times and other issues arising from things such as credit card information.  Ultimately, as technology continues to advance, the factor of security seems to be decreasing and becoming less prominent.
