Blog: P2P

P2P File Sharing is defined as a Peer to Peer distribution. An individual share and distribute files with one another individual. This is a very common practice, however with many consequences. Many of these P2P applications are illegal due to not legally obtaining the license/right to distribute the content. The New York Times article “Digital Pirates Winning Battle With Studios” highlights why this P2P sharing may be illegal. The companies who have those digital files uploaded charge a price. When one shares those content they are stealing the product those digital websites have put up. But since the file is distributed so many people it is hard to track where the file is going. I am actually a supporter of P2P sharing.

Blog Wiki So Far

I haven't started any part of the wiki, but I think I am going to look over those who already have things completed. I have an interest in adding creative methods on Wiki and talking about Fashion, Dance and Entertainment. My goal is to in the next few weeks before the last day of classes contributing things about entertainment.

Blog Privacy

Privacy is a matter for each individual, but it's on their own terms. Some people are so private that they will have multiple websites of the same content to keep their actual one private. Others privacy is not too much of a matter, they talk about their private life like it is everyone's business, take YouTubers for example. Privacy is like religion to me, we all know what we are getting into when we use new media, but we chose to follow some aspects more than something else.

Blog Advice

If I was hired by Baruch College to improve the student experience in school, I would implement the idea of a student mentor internship. Basically, Baruch requires professors to work with the students to teach them what kind of real-life job they can do with the material they are learning from class. Obviously, to be fair, the professors who partake this task should be paid for the time they give to the student. Sometimes us students take many courses without the idea of how it can be used in real life. Professors are an expert in the subject they are teaching if a student loves a subject they should also understand how this will benefit them outside of class.  This way it will reduce the risk of the idea a student wasted their four years in college for a degree which they have no idea how it will impact them in the future.
