PRIVACY


In new media we as users are encouraged to share our information, work, interests and ideas with other users on the internet. When I stop to think for a minute how much information about myself is available on the internet, it is alarming. I cannot keep track of every page or profile I have filed out about myself. When your privacy becomes something you must be aware and secure of this becomes an issue. Also the possibility of others on the internet stealing your work, like on Flickr, which is an open photo sharing website.

I think it would be interesting if there was a feature that allowed you to see what other facebook users newsfeeds looked like. You could have a better understanding of what other people are exposed to day to day and perhaps understand why someone has developed such strongly differen

Creativity and New Media

Image
For this assignment using screenshots, I created a collage of the media that I find inspiring and related in their design and aesthetic. All of these images com from different media sites such as instagram, tumblr, facebook, google images, different blogs, and some from my own flickr account. I like to draw the parallels between media on different platforms to find a common theme or aesthetic. In this situation I am the audience and the creator. I think the style of my blog also reflects the style of this collage in its colors and mood.
