Blog: Wiki So Far

Unfortunately, I have not added any new contents to a wiki page yet. However, I have been looking at other students contributions to other wikis and have seen the amazing results to some of those pages. Some of them caught my attention and one on gaming particularly. I intend to focus my topic on new media and video gaming. I will be focusing on how new media and technology have shifted the way we play and watch video games. I will be looking up statistics on revenue and user growth as well as the number of live video game streamers and viewers. I will be adding ideas about how electronic gaming has changed the way people view gamers and why it is treated as a competitive sport now. I intend to incorporate parts of my term paper into the wiki to talk about gaming blockchain technology and how it has created opportunities to gaming and streaming companies.

    Hey Curtis, I was a big gamer back in prior to 2011. I been out of the gaming for some time now. I have heard and saw many new technology that are being incorporated in modern game creation. I would love to read the information you add to the wiki page and become more informed. Maybe it will influence me to get back into gaming again. Wish you all the best.

The platform would allow students from different colleges/ university to interact with one another and share their ideas on college majors, classes, career goals, and job opportunities. Aside from professional usage, it would also allow the users to upload personal pictures, videos, and messages. Other users may view these content and choose to connect with you. There will also be an option for users to select whether or not other individuals who are seeking a date can find you based on your interests, location, school, major, and other characteristics. This platform would provide college students unlimited access to a network with peers like themselves from other schools. No...

Creativity and New Media

For this creativity assignment, I have created an avatar on Second Life. After completing the basic tutorial on how to walk, change viewing angle, fly, communicate, and other basic functions I continued to explore the Second Life World. I saw some new players as well so I progressed to greet them and start a conversation. However, there were only Spanish speaking players at the moment. After having no luck with starting a conversation I continued to explore the different buildings found in Second Life. I learned that there is an in-game currency called "LS" and that credit allows you to purchase various items in-game. After purchasing a different hair color and style I progressed further into the game. I went into a building where I saw various artworks, screenshots, software codes that were uploaded by different Second Life Users. After playing Second Life for a while I realized that new media can not only boost creativity but have practical usages as well. Sec...
