My Term Research Project

My project was on the effects of new media in medicine. In my project I wanted to get the point across that new media has effected the medicine industry in a great way but also has thier flaws that should be corrected in the near future

The Next New Media

One form of new media that would make students lives easier is thought recognition software. this would be software that would be able to write your thoughts for example when you are writing an essay. It would save you time and a lot of sleep. Another innovation would be text messages that alert you when your professors post up new assignments on blackboard. So many students work as well as go to school so this would save a lot of students time that they can use towards doing assignments for other classes

Old v. New

one way you can distinguish new media from old is by determining the speed that it can be obtained. for example it is faster and more convenient to see a newspaper online than acually buying one. On the internet you can pick which article to read instead of looking through pages to see which article is available. you can also see previous articles that you may have missed and are curious to read. Another way to determine it is by the quality and availabilty of information that is at ones fingertips. The accessibility of information is what determines what new media really is. New media give us, the users, the ability to have inforrmation when it is asked for which makes people become more interactive with new media.

Advice to Baruch College

Some things that can be use to improve the college is is text message services that is synced with blackboard. Out of experience, sometimes it is hard to keep up with blackboard when you are working and going to school. There should be a service which send students a text message when there is a new post from the classes they are taking. It might make it a little easier to always be aware of any changes made or posted on your blackboard classes. Another good suggestions would be giving students a email warning of outstanding printings that you haven't printed. it might be useful in case you forget to print some work.
