Social media's influence on new media: positive or negative?

I chose to do my project on Social media's influence on new media: positive or negative? Social media has become such a large part of today's society; however, many are iffy about using it and have been debating its effect on everyday events. I intend to cover social media's influence on the world as well as social media as a marketing tactic. I would like to discuss the presence of social media in the marketing world and its evolution over the years. Additionally, I would like to touch upon how marketing strategies would be different without the existence of social media platforms. Without such social media platforms would the world have stayed with old media and could we have advanced to where we are now? I plan to do more research and will provide more detail on this topic.

    Hi, Connie. It's glad to see that we're choosing the same topic but focusing on the differenct aspects of Social Media's both sides. Social Media indeed affects marketing strategies. Social Media's influences on marketing are common but are easy to be igonred by people. I'm also curious about how the world would be if we don't have new social media.

New media encourages users to get into contact with others across the world, opens doors to opportunities, and share content. When users sign up for an account on the web, they are asked to agree to certain terms and agreements. Such terms are usually long and require time to read through, thus most users do not read it and give their consent. In said "contracts", there are sometimes ridiculous terms such as Amazon's clause concerning a zombie apocalypse for lumberyard materials. In other cases, not reading terms and services could lead to consequences such as possible privacy and confidentiality issues. When users utilize new media, they are putting themselves at risk of exposure of private content and loss of confidentiality. Their activity on the web can be monitored by companies that use the information to their advantage. These companies could use it to aid in their marketing efforts and/or sell it to other entities. Hackers over the internet could get private inform...

Creativity and New Media

As online chatting becomes more apparent in society, more accounts on various platforms are created daily. To separate one profile to another, people will tend to create avatars, uploads pictures, and generally, have something that would greatly distinguish their account from others. Other than that, many platforms such as Bitmoji (which has since been acquired by Snapchat) enable users to create personalized cartoon avatars of themselves. Bitmoji can currently be linked to be used on Snapchat, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Slack, and Gmail. Nowadays, there are many websites that allow for creating a personalized avatar. Below are three such examples using Avatar Maker (a Google Chrome extension), Avatar Maker (avatarmaker.com), and Avachara (avachara.com/avatar/). The avatars could be as simple or as fancy as the user wants depending on what he/she wishes to use it for and/or how much he/she is willing to pay for extra features. In the past, I remember creating individual avatars ...

New Media is constantly changing and new additions always arise. With each advancement, the society strives to make everyday tasks as well as complex tasks simpler and more convenient to do. Though this form of "new media" may be out of reach due to not all restaurants (especially mom and pop businesses) using online websites and apps, it would be a great idea to develop a mobile application that allows users to know exactly what the wait times are for restaurants near them. In addition, it would allow users to reserve a table without having to call in or walk in. This would benefit customers as dinner plans are sometimes made at the last minute and many high-end restaurants require reservations. Also, customers are able to utilize the app to know which restaurant has either no wait time or a short wait time and decide where to go. The app could include the restaurants full menu along with pictures to give the customer a better perspective of the ambiance of the restaurant an...
