HW Creativity

New media refers to those media that are interactive. It will oftentimes foster creativity with its advanced digital software, websites, and technologies. Today many music producers and tech-savvy musicians enjoy creating new sounds out of existing ones. For example, in "1+1+1=1 The New Math of Mashups" Sasha Frere-Jones talks about how Jeremy Brown, DJ Reset, took apart a song and recreated a new one. The final track, "Frontin' on Debra" is an example of a mashup, typically the vocals of one song played over another song's instrumental. New software packages like Acid Pro, Virtual DJ, FL Studio, and many others allow for musicians to take apart songs by its vocals, drums, piano, and edit the speed that it is played, the pitch, the tone, and create a completely new soundtrack. As technology progresses each day, there is better and newer software readily available to the public users. Many of this new media software is free to use and allows for people to boost their creativity and develop new music, video games, and platforms.

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 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.

Blog: P2P

File sharing is the ability to share files from one computer to another over the internet. It is extremely convenient and useful for the general users and corporations as well. It can be done in a number of ways. For example, manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, the internet, and P2P networks. P2P sharing is short for peer to peer. It refers to computer networks that use a "distributed architecture." This means that all devices that are connected to this same network will share the workloads. This meant that each "peer" in the network is equal to the other "peers" and that there is no centralized owner of the network. The primary advantage of P2P sharing is for all "peers" to work together to deliver a specific service or perform a particular task. In "Content Producers Should take Advantage of P2P, Not Fear it" NMA Staff talks about why producers should stop preventing users to pirate ...

Although there are many similarities in their appearance there are also many differences in their purpose, style, and audience as well.  A blog is a website with usually one author and many contributors. The author posts about different topics and contributors would comment on those posts. Blogs are usually written in a "diary-type" style and express the author's opinions about different topics. Blogs allow for interactive discussions and provide the audience with an up to date commentary in a traceable timeline. According to How can we measure the influence of the blogosphere" Kathy E.
