Blog: P2P

-
File sharing is the act of transferring files from one computer to another through a network. This may include documents, multimedia – audio and videos, images, and more. First and foremost, P2P stands for peer-to-peer. This type of file sharing is used to share files between many users over the internet. In the article, “Content producers should take advantage of P2P, not fear it,” the author stated, “But could P2P itself create the attention needed to bring big audiences to our message? The answer is yes.” Remind you, many of us participate or have participated in this more than you think. I know many of you remember “LimeWire,” a file sharing platform that people used to illegally share music. Overall, it allows users to access media files. This may include books, music, movies, and games, using a P2P software. Many computers can be connected at one time. Other than LimeWire, one example from the article is “The Pirate Bay,” which allows users to download music, movies, games, software, and more. According to thepiratebay.org, it is the galaxy’s most resilient BitTorrent site. BitTorrent is, “A peer-to-peer file transfer protocol for sharing large amounts of data over the internet, in which each part of a file downloaded by a user is transferred to other users.” It seems a bit complex, but it is actually simple. Anyone could join a P2P network just by downloading a particular software.

2018.

I can't believe it's already 2018! A few days before the new year hit, I definitely had a lot to think about. My future, my career, my goals, my life in general. Every new year everyone always says they want to do better, and it's going to be their year, but many times we don't truly follow through. This year is different for me. I am more motivated and eager to start a new chapter. I'm ready for new experiences, and more challenges! Not just professionally, but personally. Sometimes I give up and say i'll start tomorrow. But honestly, today is the best time to start. No more procrastinating. I am very excited to see what this year brings me. I dove into 2018 with positivity, patience, confidence, and bravery! Everything is up to YOU.

Blog: Blog vs Wiki

-
A blog is a diary-type exposition that is presented in reverse chronological order. Blogs can cover multiple topics/subjects from personal to political. Bloggers are able to focus on one subject, or multiple. Blogs are a place where you can freely express your opinions and/or expertise on a subject. On the other hand, Wiki is a collaborative website where you create, edit and structure content. You are to able to edit others' content, and they can edit yours. Also, you can plan events, and work on projects collectively. Today's networked world allows us to share information, ideas, or to educate others. When you compare blogs and wikis,  it is the same as comparing individual and collaborative. However, blogs can be collaborative; everyone can add useful information and comments on other peoples posts. According to the article, "Wikipedia to Limit Changes to Articles on People", individuals who are participants have the ability to edit, as I stated previously. For thi

Creativity and New Media

I wanted to make a short clip that displays a few of my amazing experiences at music festivals with my best friends. I used Magisto, an online video editor. It is a mobile and web application for video editing and production. It allows users to add a creative aspect to videos and images they produce. What's great about this application is anyone can use it, professionals and non-professionals.
