What is file sharing? File sharing is t he potential to transfer files from one device to another. Two programs most students use that are also file sharing programs is Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive.

New media such as Facebook and Instagram have privacy and confidentiality issues. These issues arise when people post too much information about themselves or post an inappropriate photo. People think the delete button will save them but a lot of information can still be surfacing on the web.

Reddit users create forums where they can ask a question or start a discussion on a specific topic. Anyone from anywhere can answer and other people can up vote or down vote your comment. I think it would be a great idea for Baruch to have an account where students can ask questions and have it answered by other Baruch students.
