Next New

A new media that doesn't exist yet.. maybe McGraw Hill Connect mobile app.. that actually works. Currently the McGraw Hill Connect mobile app doesn't allow students to read or do assignments on their phone. As a student, I'm always on the go and sometimes when your traveling you find opportunities where you can read or answer a few homework questions to keep busy. Their current app does nothing.

  1. Yes! I agree. I remember taking a management class last semester and wanting to do my assignments through my phone but it really was not user-friendly at all. The interface just mimicked the website and wasn't optimized for mobile if I'm remembering correctly.

  2. Totally agree that an app should be built out. Don't know if this is considered a "new media" example though, since apps aren't really new. I'd definitely be a buyer of the app though.

  3. I agree, since most classes uses their textbook an online platform this would be really good for students who are always busy and while on the train could do some of their work.

Wiki So Far

I haven't added any content on Wiki yet but as of right now I would like to contribute to the Marketing wiki as I'm a Marketing major and have learned a thing or two this semester.

Privacy

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. Having a private account really won't help considering that anyone who is following you on Instagram or friends with you on Facebook can just save and repost your info or pic somewhere else. To avoid issues, people simply need to know what's too much to share and what's just right.
