Blog: Next New

A form of new media that doesn't exist might become a reality with the development virtual reality technology and it would be a form of teaching through virtual reality gear. When this kind of technology becomes more widespread and common kids in countries or neighborhoods with unsafe environments or just low resources might be able to learn in virtual reality with teachers and they wouldn't be limited by classroom supplies or distance. The classes could have teachers and students from around the world could be in any sort of classroom virtual reality can create. This would allows people to get high quality education from remote areas while still have face to face interaction and conversations.

    I think this is a great idea. I believe this will be possible in the upcoming years. The VR technology is still in early development but I can imagine it to be useful like you mentioned in your blog

    Hi, Andy. I think your idea is really great and benefit for students. If this technology can be implemented, it will be of great help to children in poor areas who have not yet received a good education. I hope this technology can be implemented as soon as possible, and it won't cost too much for them.

    Hi Andy, I think it's a great idea considering the increasing technological development around virtual reality. If we're able to bring the classroom experience onto virtual reality, we may be able to encompass new curriculums that fully utilize new technological innovations.

Blog: Social networking sites

My initial impressions from visiting Facebook and being a member are that it is very cluttered and filled with a lot of random media such as news, video clips, photos, and advertisements. If I am to be honest I would compare Facebook to a pile of trash with gems in it here and there, but in general I only visit the site to communicate with people on messenger for the convenient fact that many people have Facebook accounts. For Twitter the design is much cleaner without the clutter that Facebook has, but content wise I feel it is the same where its a landfill of misinformation and opposing opinions. I feel that Twitter is mostly functions as a platform for influencers that are well known to reach their supporters such as political leaders or celebrities. A site that I often visit is Reddit where users can choose to visit subreddits that are essentially communities that share a common topic such as the subreddit worldnews where current news in the world is shared or awww where cute pictu...

In Depth of DeepFake Technology: Distorting reality in the online world.

The topic I chose for my project is the effects of deepfake technology in the online world. This technology makes navigating the world wide web even more difficult as it becomes harder and harder to tell the real from the false illusions created by deepfakes. In the world we live in many of us take real life footage as factual or at least more likely to be real, but this technology allows for the alteration of video and audio that would be indistinguishable from the real thing to the majority of the populous. I want to explore the ramifications of deepfake videos of political figures saying things that would scare off supporters or the fearful thought that the person on the other end of the phone call might be AI imitating the exact voice and speech pattern of that person. On many social media sites fake news has already been spreading like wildfire and causing immeasurable damage to society this new and evolving deepfake technology could change the way we perceive reality in the near ...
