Blog v Wiki

Blogs and Wikis are different and they both have their own purpose. Blogs are generally used to document a persons life as it moves forward. This can be done with weekly paragraphs or updates of what is going on. Wikis are more used to collaborate on specific ideas or topics. This is generally done with proven facts and instead of one person doing it, it can be done in a group. A new use for wiki can be used as a type of documentation for a family. A internal wiki page where families can update with their personal photos etc.

The next new media that doenst current exist is virtual chatrooms that allow you to see the other person. Imagine a coffee shop where you can go and meet people but on a purely virtual room.

Creativity and New Media

Creativity in the new media can come in many ways. The biggest and most popular New Media creative platform is YouTube.

Even though its still a bit awkward to rewatch and listen to my own voice, I put in alot of effort and was able to create content that I thought would've been very hard to make. This allowed me to create something I'm very proud of and also something I'm passionate able. This is my definition of new media and creativity . https://youtu.be/nc6Dn7O_nMg

Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

There are many ways for a virtual world to be used as opposed the real world. The virtual world is one that takes place online, allowing someone to embody a character, avatar or simply someone they are not. And thats okay! The virtual world allows us to be someone we're not. This is popular especially popular in gaming. In the article "After Second Linfe, Can Virtual Worlds Get a Reboot?" talks about simply this. There are many games that are virtual worlds that don't get acknowledged as such. Minecraft is a virtual world. It may not seem like it because of its simplicity but it allows the player to play as a character and create masterpieces they might not be able to do in the real world.  I think as technology evolves, the meaning of virtual worlds will mean even more so. With virtual reality becoming more advanced as every year goes on, the possibility of creating an entire ecosystem in a virtual world and having people have a "second life" there is reall
