Next New

How much time do we spend while watching/reading the news? Probably more than 30 - 40 minutes daily! Some people spend hours! Can you imagine how awesome it would be if we have the option to absorb the news we are interested in within the seconds?!
This new media will be arranging all news into the set of codes. Reading or watching those codes will take seconds, however, the information summarized in it will expand in our minds and will provide a complete and detailed picture of all the news we wanted to know. It will save a lot of time and will give us an ability to learn and be aware of much more information we never had time for.

Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

Virtual Worlds...sounds very intriguing. It evokes our imagination and curiosity. But what is it? The virtual world is a computer-based environment that can be managed by an individual. There are so many ways virtual reality can be used! A person can explore any countries/cities/places, or experience activities such as swimming or riding the camel while physically not able to do so, also, it is possible to mentally adjust for something unknown such as flying to the Moon, or it is an advanced way to learn.

Social Networking Sites

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram... all these names are so well known. Even not an active user of social media can distinguish the difference between these four. For me, Facebook is more about people I know. I am trying to limit my Facebook friend list to those I had some sort of connection with. So by scrolling the news, I see only the information related to them: their most important life events or thing they like. LinkedIn, for instance, is more professional and to the point. It is a platform for collaboration, communication, and opportunities. It is a great place to declare yourself as a professional and a valuable asset. Instagram is all about beauty, advertisement, and popularity. When I scroll it I get the feeling that people are trying to be much better than they really are. They are creating an illusion, a perfect picture of their ordinary lives. But I have to admit that Instagram is a hard job as well. In order to stay interesting for the followers, people spending m...

Advice

Being part of Baruch makes me proud. I wish all students can feel the same. To get into students' hearts is easy - they have to feel that Baruch is not only a great academic institution or a safe environment but also a place that is actually very close and approachable. To improve those factors Baruch should pay greater attention to the usage of new media. All Social Media pages managed by Baruch that I had a chance to analyze were just too dry.  Yes, there is new information every once in a while,  but it is not that dynamic at all. The young generation does not like to see the same posts all over again, only creative stuff catches attention, something new, fresh and juicy should appear every day, or even more often.
