The Next New Thing

How many times you need to hide at work or in class to text somebody? I believe that a new thing that should come out is new way of texting in which people don’t have to type a text message. A new way of texting will be that we just have to tell verbally the phone what to write for us. It will be a pretty good idea and would bring a good contribution to new media because people use texting as a way to communicate with others every day. But if we would have this application in our phone, it should help us to communicate faster. We also will not have to hide at work or in class to text somebody because we will only press a button and say something fast to our phone.

Our Class Wiki- So Far

Wiki so far is pretty good because I had the task to contribute to the wiki page Education. I decided to contribute to this page because I think is a very interesting topic in which everybody needs to know more about it. Also, I choose it because education practically is part of my life and I been going through all the stage of education. So far in the Education Page I downloaded the pictures that first appear when you open or click in the page. I designed the contents of the page and I structured it too. I feel very happy about the contribution that I did to this page because start in March and then I recently saw that thanks to structure that I designed my classmates could make their contribution to this page. Lastly, now I am research in the future of education and how it is important is the primary education for the children.

About my Term Research Paper

My research paper was very challenge for me because I was not that aware about social networking’s issues. I have to do a lot of research about it in Google and in the school’s library. I found a lot interesting article about the advantages and disadvantages of social networks sites in which help me to put my ideas together. I also tried to find books about the dark sides of social network but it was impossible to find one that touches deeply this point.

At first I focused to talk about the advantages of having social network sites. Also what are the contributions that social networking sites have make to new media and society. I described and what the most popular social network sites does. I tried to compare the different social network sites. Then I focused on the bad sides of social network. I tough my future readers why might was a mistakes to sign up for a social network.

I choose this topic because since last year I wanted to know the dark sides of social network sites. Last semester I took a CIS class and I heard a negative comment about social network sites and that maybe it was a mistake for everybody to sign up for a social network. Since that the day I have the curiosity of the dark sides of social network sides or why my classmates were talking bad about it because for me social network sites were the most wonderful things that was in the internet.

Thank you to the research my paper I learned that social network sites are not what I thought and it changes my whole perceptions about it. After I wrote this paper, I feel remorseful of signed up for a social network. But my research really taught me that I need to be careful with what I posted in those sites.
