HW Creativity


New media fosters creativity by enabling people the accessibility to share and generate thoughts cheaper and easier. For example, a photographer previously would need to take a photo and display it in a gallery and must pay money to the gallery as well. Now, photographers can share the image on Instagram and millions of people can view the photo in a matter of seconds. Twitter allows people to easily have access to other thoughts. People can view others tweets and respond in their own creative way or lead people to have their own creative thoughts. “The Internet lets people exchange ideas easily and rapidly with large groups, and computing tools let people design new products cheaply.” Companies can even be more creative now through tracking social media activity and monitoring their feedback or responses. New media is making creativity more readily available for everyone.

Wiki So Far

     I have contributing in the wiki for the class in two categories so far:   Third person shooter gaming and Accounting in social media. I have added pictures and content on both subjects. For the gaming section, I talked about Fortnite and its popularity. Fortnite grew to become one of the most popular games in the world due to its unique design but was eventually copied by competitors. Also, I discussed the importance of utilizing social media in the accounting profession. Accountant should use social media to expand their reach and their client base. I plan to contribute to two more sections and make edits where it is necessary. The wiki is a great place to share ideas and communicate and I plan to continue to contribute to it.

Creativity and New Media

I play video games a lot so in my free time I created an em blem that would be displayed every time I play a game. I was able to use many tools available in Call of Duty. The game lets me use hundred of different building blocks and with some help from YouTube, I was able to create this emblem. Through the PS4 Share feature, I was able to screenshot the emblem on my console and email it to myself. I found it extremely interesting how new media gives us tools that can easily show how creative we truly are.

Advice

I would advise Baruch to establish a larger social media presence in the new age of new media. Baruch has social media accounts, but they should try to significantly grow their following and audience. Baruch is not as well known outside of New York as many other universities. Social media is the largest growing platform for communication and would be a great tool to reach out to new audiences. Baruch can invest by hiring more marketing professionals as well as competing in international business competitions. This would significantly raise Baruch’s brand. Social media is the best way to expand your reach and baruch should take advantage of this growing opportunity.
