Privacy and Confidentiality are heavily related to new media since so much information is posted on sites such as Facebook, twitter etc. In my term paper for this class I discuss the affects new media has on adolescents and one large section discusses the very issue of privacy online. Teens tend to put too much personal information on their pages and this information can be seen by users who may steal identities or stalk people. Confidentiality is a broad term but it is one that can be broken by many illegal acts happening on the internet everyday such as hackers, piracy, identity thefts. It can be broken by chain e-mails when only one person was meant to receive it. Privacy and Confidentiality are definitely one of the negative effects of the internet.

Candice’s Creativity
Here I used Photoshop (new media) in order to create an illusion. I cut myself out from another picture using the tools photoshop has to offer and pasted myself onto the red carpet but I made it look real by resizing my body and putting my shadow in as well as changing some details in the background.
Creativity
Creativity is simply using you’re mind. It is the act of using youre mind in order to create something, anything. New media certainly gives way to a lot of creativit An example of creativity is mash-ups which is mashing together snip its of all different type of media to create one single item or video. Yes mash ups can be very creative and entertaining but also can be illegal causing plenty piracy. In the New York Times article “Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of its Critics” It discusses how people used Disney characters to create rap songs. For example “A version using clips taken from Nickelodeon’s “SpongeBob SquarePants” has been viewed more than seven million times.” It discusses how some companies such a Disney keep a tight leash on people who use their characters for mash ups as fr others like Viacome “sees the humorous videos as fair use of its copyrighted content.”As I stated in my previous P2P blog it is a very controversial matter!
P2P Sharing
P2P file sharing is short for peer to peer file sharing. It is a process where you can send and receive stored information such as data, media, files etc. from one device to another. This type of media sharing causes illegal actions such as piracy, illegal downloading of songs, movies etc. The problem with this is there is a massive amount of information being sent and received as well as shared through communication sites such as you-tube and Facebook that it is impossible for government to be in control of piracy, although companies have started suing people and you tube for its illegal actions. New York Times article “As Rights Clashes on You Tube Some Videos Vanish” gives an example “In early December, Juliet Weybret, a high school sophomore and aspiring rock star from Lodi, Calif., recorded a video of herself playing the piano and singing “Winter Wonderland,” and she posted it on YouTube…In late December, Warner and YouTube failed to agree to terms on a new licensing deal that would have paid Warner a cut of advertising revenue in exchange for permission to stream the music company’s videos.” P2P file sharing is a very controversial matter since it is the reason why the music and television industry has lost billions of dollars because of illegal downloading and illegal sharing.
The Next New Thing
I think the next new thing will be a computer application or site that can somehow scan you’re body or face in order to buy cloths, accessories, make up and anything needed to be tried on over the computer. The only negativity about online buying is you cant actually see the item on you. In a store you have the option to try on the item. So this app will somehow scan you’re figure and features and add whatever the item of you’re choosing is on to you exactly the way it would be in person. It would be called Try-No-Try. This application can be good for almost any kind of online buying, men who want to buy customized suites to Women who want to buy makeup to fit their coloring.
