Creativity

New media has become a very important part of our daily life. New media may effect the quality of life, as users of different new media (social media) have increased over time. Creativity is the ability to create useful/new ideas and innovation to reach out to the whole world by using new media network platforms and social media. Creativity in society is increased by adding new sources of information to people, to create, share and publish content. New media fosters creativity in thought through Blogging, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, using digital tools, interacting anonymously online, etc.

Bloggers can able to develop their idea of creative thinking and writing. When you blog, you create thoughts that can reach out to people around the whole world.

Technology has also made digital tools much easier to use, as well as more engaging. How? There are tools that people can use—for example, like free storage and graphic design tools—to help brainstorm with other more easily.

People can open free accounts online and communicate with anyone. For example, with Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, people can be creative and thoughtful without any fears about limiting their creative minds. According to a New York Times article, “Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Followers” by Claire Cain Miller, users on Twitter had difficulty understanding how to address to each other, but now they use the “@“ symbol to refer to each others.

Before, people can be creative and imaginative but they did not have the right media for sharing. But now new media helps a lot for those who are creative to share their ideas and work.

Term paper topic: New media and healthcare industry

My research topic for this course is the role of new media in the healthcare industry. I am interested in a career in the healthcare sector and hope to learn more about new practices in the industry involving new media. New media is changing every industry but the way it is affecting the healthcare industry is both good and bad. I will therefore be using the “Analysis” approach for my research paper, which compares positive and negative aspects of a topic.  New media can be good for the industry in many ways.

Privacy

New media--such as social media, web and mobile technologies--are rapidly increasing usage in many modern industries.   All type of media is designed by humans, so there is no way you can expect social media to keep all your information safe and confidential. Most of us will never bother to read fine texts or terms and conditions but rush to sign up for any type of social media.   Let's take Facebook, for example; if you create an account on Facebook, and you are the only one person who will have access to it because you created it and that is your account. But Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg, who will have full access to all the Facebook user information because he is a founder of the software.   He can track anyone he likes because the user “agreed to the terms and policy” of Facebook. Users give permission to Facebook without realizing it.
