A new type of new media can be a healthcare application on a smartphone or any mobile device. Diseases and mental illnesses have become prominent in today’s society and it is discussed about a lot on social media of people sharing their stories and struggles with it. I was thinking about an app that gives reminders of what one should do in order to combat the mental illness or disease, what types of exercise, medication, meditation, etc, they need to help them throughout the day. If one is diagnosed with a disease (and by an actual doctor), the doctor can sign off on the medication and basically use the app to remind their patients on what to do and when to do it. I feel like this idea can really help the general public.

    I like this idea of an healthcare app. As some people may have less time on their hands, they may forget to keep up with their physical or mental health. Any app that can be quick and easy to use as a reminder or as means of managing ones health, sounds good to me. Having all access with different methods for combating mental illness is also great, it gives individuals the opportunity to educate themselves and support others if they so need it.

    I think it's a beautiful idea since many citizens in this city have a very hectic life. That is to say that they are always in a hurry because of school or work. This application would help many citizens not to forget their medications that they should take and follow the instructions given by their doctor. I think this application does not neglect your health.

Creativity and New Media

I decided to use Apple’s AniMoji, which is animated emojis Apple has created that responds to facial expressions. I use it quite often because it’s very entertaining. I decided to make a screen record on my phone of how one can go about making an AniMoji. In this video, I didn’t realize it, but I was lip syncing to a song by Kacey Musgraves, an American singer and songwriter. I was inspired by her song “Happy and Sad” and decided to create a character of a cowboy only because the song has country themed elements. You can see, Apple offers different features when it comes to skin tone, hair type, color, face shape, eye shape, hats, and different accessories. They made sure to cater to everyone and be diverse as possible. In the video, you’ll see me picking out different features that I thought would fit right for the character I had in mind.

New media has changed the ways of education. Many schools have used new media to connect with the younger generations. When it comes to assigning homework, readings, assignments, reminding students of important dates, if school is closed, etc. It can be crazy at times because students receive notifications from many different applications, such as Blackboard, CUNY Alert, etc. A suggestion can be to have a unified platform for Baruch where all professors and students, as well as the school itself, has access to which has almost anything one can think of. A platform where one can go to register for classes at the same time as checking the current classes they are currently taking. A platform where they have access to their transcript. A platform where professors can make announcements and assign homework. Where a calendar is readily available for students that has all the important dates/events. It becomes hectic when one has to remember all of their credentials for different website
