P2P

File Sharing is the transporting of files from one designated computer, to another one with the use of internet. It gives us the ability to download documents and share it amongst whom ever. P2P is basically the same thing as file sharing but for digital content such as movies, videos, etc. An example of P2P would be the illegal downloading of movies. This can lead to massive losses in the movie industry due to the pirating issues. For example, in the article "Digital Pirates Winning Battle with Studios", it discusses how the Warner brothers tried their best to maintain a system where they monitored each copy they had sold but failed due to the increase in piracy.

    Yes, I have a experience of downloading illegal movies and not doing it anymore. It does lead to massive lossed in the movie industry. Sometimes it’s impossible for people to track who have shared the illegal files and who are the downloaders. There are way too many transactions between users and it’s time to have some risctictions on sharing illegal files, movies and programs that have copy rights on it.

Next New

With so many technological advancements occurring I believe a new type of new media that I would like to see would be holographic calls. We have the ability to face time/video chat, send videos to one another but holographic calls I believe would be the next best thing. Being able to not only send a video of your self to someone, but to send it in a 360 angle where it appears to seem that you are directly in front of the person on the other end, in REAL TIME I believe would be a success. Key words being 360 degree angle and real time, there isn't something like this on the market yet. We've seen it in movies but to have the ability to use it with the device on our hands would make a mark on the history of technology.

These advancements have been used to help aid in our privacy online, but thanks to these advancements the level of risk our privacy faces is also escalating. In the article "The Wild West of Privacy", the author mentions how data is collected by these online companies, and then sold to external companies who use this data to figure out what our interests are, (personal to non-personal)which can put a person in danger. Hackers can access this information and steal credit card info, identity theft, and so on. Although some social media accounts do offer the choice of making your account private or public, nothing is every really private therefore, confidentiality is never guaranteed. For the years to come, the use of new media will only rise from here so in order to keep people information safe, companies should initiate/create ways to help protect users from the dange
