A type of New Media that currently does not exist could be something that allows for Jury Duty to be done through Technology rather than having to go in person. Something like this could really benefit almost everyone because:
1. Jury Duty forces the person to take off work to serve as a potential Juror for the courts
2. There is not enough compensation for the grueling experience people go through for serving
3. There is a possibility that the courts may not even need any jurors on that day
How would this work? I suggest that an E-Mail sent from a registered court employee would provide all the details to the current court case and both the claims of the plaintiff and the defendant. The individual would have roughly a week upon receipt of the E-Mail to respond "Guilty" or "Not Guilty" based on the information they have received. The court would then make a judgment based on the results received.
From my perspective, this would not only help us as people no longer have to take a day off from work to spend 9 hours waiting for their names to be called, but also save the court money. The court will no longer have to compensate us for our time and this may ultimately speed up the court process.
The downside to this however, is that the courts may not have all the information readily available at the time the E-Mail is sent or that the actual "response rate" to these E-Mails may be very low.

Blog: Wiki So Far
1. What have you been doing to contribute to the class Wiki?
I have not yet contributed anything meaningful to the class Wiki.
2. What pages have you created and/or edited?
I have not yet created or edited any pages on the class Wiki so far.
3. Describe in general terms the content you added.
I have not yet added anything.
4. If you have not added any content yet, then at least describe the research you have done and what you are working on towards this goal.
Although I have not contributed anything meaningful to the class Wiki yet, I have been doing research on what I would be contributing. The topics that pique my interest the most are Education and MMORPGS.
Within the Education Wiki, I would want to contribute the impacts of New Media on classrooms and learning and compare either standardized testing results with classrooms that do not permit the usage of technology and other educational platforms. This is important because it allows us to see the direct effects that allowing students to use their laptops or cellular phones in class has on a student's educational development and if there is a positive or negative correlation.
The research I am currently doing to contribute to this topic is to look at surveys and research on how allowing technology into a traditional classroom setting will impact a student's behavior and educational development through standardized testing results.
Within the MMORPG Wiki, I would want to contribute another game called Black Desert Online. This is a game released by Pearl Abyss that invites its players to interact in an open-world sandbox game with thousands of other people to do various things such as go on quest, have guild battles, and even interact with medieval life skills such as bartering, fishing, lumbering, and much more.
The game not only allows for open-world exploration, but allows for people to characterize their characters in any way possible, from choosing their hair styles and hair color to choosing the physical size of their characters.
The research I am currently doing to contribute to this topic is through First Hand experience of playing the game and through other player's opinions and perspectives of the game's current state (whether people are happy with how the game is running, company decisions, etc). I am also explaining the various options that Black Desert Online provides its players and the freedom that the game gives which may make people intimidated because there is no direct instruction on what todo.

Blog: P2P
1. File sharing is defined as distributing files to a third party.
2. P2P File Sharing is defined as a Peer to Peer distribution. Individuals share and distribute files with one another
3. Some examples of P2P File Sharing include Limewire, uTorrent, Pirate Bay, etc. Generally, many of these P2P applications are illegal due to not legally obtaining the license/right to distribute the content.
The New York Time reports that as we move onto a more digital age, it becomes easier for people to view and download content that people need to pay for. Corporations and the Media considers this "digital theft" because no one is paying money for the right to view this content. Several examples of computer applications that allow for this to happen is BitTorrent, TorrentFreak.com, and many more.
In a place like China, it becomes difficult for companies to monitor how much content is being shared illegally due to the lack of piracy enforcement. But many industry experts are going under the assumption that younger people believe that everything that is available that is desirable to themselves should be made available without paying a price.
Personally, I am for P2P sharing. It allows us "young people", or anyone who opts to use P2P sharing to save a good amount of money. For example, it does not make sense for anyone to buy a textbook for $100.00 when they can get it for free. It also does not make sense for music to be restricted from people because they did not pay a third party application to gain the rights to listen to the music.
One could argue that this hurts profits of the company/corporation. One thing that I feel that isn't considered is how ridiculous some of these prices and restrictions are. Why are textbooks $100? The hefty price itself dissuades people from buying a original copy of it and actually motivates people to look for an online copy to save $100. How can one also stop people from listening to music because we did not pay for it?
