P2P

  1. What is file sharing?
    1. File sharing is defined as “the practice of or ability to transmit files from one computer to another over a network or the Internet.” Simply speaking it is the sharing of files through the internet, whether it is an image, money or a cloud sharing folder for work. You can share a file with a person, network or an organization.
  2. What is P2P File sharing?
    1. P2P is Peer-to-peer file sharing where you share a file on a person to person basis. There are some risk associated with using P2P software like identity theft, for example in an article by CNET, “On February 23, 2009, a Dartmouth College professor published a paper reporting that over a two-week period he was able to search a P2P network and uncover tens of thousands of medical files containing names, addresses, and Social Security numbers for patients seeking treatment for conditions such as AIDS, cancer, and mental health problems.”
  3. What are some examples of P2P file sharing?
    1. An example of P2P file sharing is shown in the article “Peers Find Less Pressure Borrowing From Each Other” where people can borrow from other people without going to the grueling process of a bank loan or added credit card debt. The “file sharing” is money. The company is named Lending Club which is an awesome alternative way to getting a loan and awesome way to invest disposable income to help others.

Privacy

Privacy and confidentiality are very important issues that new media faces on a daily basis. My paper was on Wikipedia, as part of new media Wiki formats have been very popular and adopted through many organizations. Two problems Wiki faces is exactly the privacy of the information and the user's personal information shared throughout the organization. New media allows companies to store vital information about the firm, customers, and employees. That vital information must be secured because it is easily accessible by hackers. Also, new media allows filesharing throughout the internal organization that must have high confidentiality standards because it can be given to the wrong hand or even intercepted by a third party. Whoever adopts any sort of new media must look into how to protect its privacy and make sure there are no holes in the system.

46-year-old CEO bets $44.2 billion on 1 stock

Netflix briefly passed Disney as the biggest entertainment company in 2018, and analysts and investors alike celebrated a new dawn in the entertainment world. But what these press clippings missed was the bigger story. Because we think Netflix is NOT the future of entertainment. It’s only a small fraction. With PwC estimating the media landscape to be worth an estimated $2.2 trillion in 2021, and Netflix revenue passing $11 billion last year, you’ll see that Netflix makes up only 0.5% of the media landscape. And one billionaire CEO is taking charge of what Netflix DOESN’T do and leading the way for the Next Generation of entertainment. You see, Netflix is a streaming company through and through, and they’re great at that. But this 46-year-old CEO is putting over $44 billion on the table to take over the rest of the market, and he isn’t stopping any time soon. His forward-thinking company, which many people haven’t even heard of before, doesn’t only want to ...

Next New

I think we should have a new media that creates a virtual device that allows us to shop in stores virtually instead of buying online. Imagine, at home, you can virtually walk around Whole Foods or Macy's in current time and you can browse around and see the details of the clothing or the quality of the produce. This can be a better experience buying online when you order something and it is nothing like the pictures in person. It would also help companies promote new products to the new generation that shop online but don't browse in stores to find new things. You can also make virtual stores not actual. Just a more better way to shop online.
