My Favourite Form of New Media

     My favourite form of New Media currently is by far, social networking. Social media applications and networks include youtube, snapchat, Instagram, twitter, facebook, linked in, and many more. All of these networks allow you to upload videos, photos, create a blog, post events, join groups and send messages. As well, whether work-related or for personal use, a social networking site allows you to share information and media at the click of a few buttons. I personally use social media networks such as Instagram and snapchat to communicate with my friends and family, as well as post and send pictures and videos to transmit information of where I am, what I am doing, whenever I would like. I also use youtube for personal fun and enjoyment, to watch videos of gamers or streamers playing online games, as well as doing vlogs around the world. 

    I believe that social networking will always remain at the top of new media, and will only get more technologically advanced from this day and age. Overall, this is why social networking is my favourite form of new media, from communicating with friends to watching online vlogs of famous people.

Photography over the days

           It is extremely evident how photography has expanded over the years, from the late 20th century to the modern stage it is currently at. The process of photography involves  point and shoot: point the camera at the subject that you want to capture, click the shoot button on the camera and the image is captured either on film or an internal storage microchip. The information is then yours to either have developed (as with the film) or upload to your compu ter for storage, viewing or enhancement. In the 19th century , the first surviving photo was taken by Nicéphore Niépce, the process took 8 hours. Over the decades, as technology  expanded, the process of taking a photo and being able to regard it and either modify or store it has been shortened. Now, there are increasingly expanded technological   cameras  and lenses that give the ability to zoom in and out at unbelievable frequencies and angles. Photos also take less tha...

One Picture is Worth A Thousand Words

Image
          I believe that this picture to the right is worth a thousand words, and more. It shows a young boy who is lifting the ocean up like it is a carpet, only to see an assortment of plastic and garbage underneath the surface. This image means to imply the point that there is a lot of pollution under our ocean including plastic and garbage that we simply throw away. Not only does this image represent pollution underneath the water's surface, but it also shows a crab who is not in the water, which could be poisoned and damaged by the garbage through consumption as well as bioaccumulation. The aquatic life in the sea first of all can mistake the garbage and plastics for food and ingest them and die. They can also pass it up through the food chain through the process of bioaccumulation. As well, habitats are destroyed by the garbage leaving smaller fish vulnerable to predators. Overall, this picture evidently is worth a thousand words. ...
