Blog v Wiki

 I agree that there are discrepancies and parallels when talking about blogs v Wiki. From a person's view, blogs are posted. Normally a blog consists of the thoughts and viewpoints of a writer. The blogger will publish as much as they want. On the other hand, Wikipedia is more objective and leaves no room for an individual's view. Wiki is mostly a community project in which everyone can have information. Material on the wiki must be endorsed by a source, or it may be considered as unreliable.

However, people will chat about both the blogs and the wiki by discussing both. An interchange of views takes place in which one may have an insight into the work of another. Convergence in today's networked environment is critical because it contributes to information sharing. For example, it gives me more perspective when people comment on my blog posts. Commenting is one way to get people together and learn without needing to study thoroughly. Bloggers are able to affect the real world, as Kathy Gill reported on "What do we calculate the effect of the blogosphere?" Links given by bloggers allow people to get more information are affecting. Blogs have larger visibility to attract a general population.

Blogs should be used to function together and integrate their concepts. people will work together. An example of that can be seen in "Drug Raid Leading Brooklyn Blog Helps." Michael Wilson describes how a blog (Bayridgetalk.com) allowed the police to hear about a crack house's routine operations when people reported what they heard. People are always terrified of revealing these offenses, but witnesses might stay anonymous with the aid of this site.

The development of a class wiki for a new framework for a wiki that was not yet completed. For example, a wiki may be generated, and a variety of formulas can be addressed. Links can also become an ideal resource to allow people to learn the class. Links can also be given.

Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

  There is a multitude of ways virtual environments can be used. It can be used for interactive museum visits, for example. Digital realms have been seen a lot as recently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Activities such as the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade would be interactive to keep crowds from assembling. Even schools use virtual environments to exercise relational isolation and to teach from home. There are also interactive social environments in which you can build your own environment and communicate with others. The Sims is an example of a virtual social environment. There are pros and cons of the virtual universe. Starting with the pros, the virtual world offers gameplay environments such as the PlayStation VR. With the PlayStation VR, you can feel like they're in the game, feel like they're in the cinema while viewing a movie, and more. Digital prototypes are another pro, too, so you can actually see a car in your space and see its features. It's nice to h...

Creativity

  New Media fosters imagination by creating a forum where people can share ideas and opinions. The keyway in which digital media promote innovation is through the number of people freely willing to share their views about someone's new idea. Without digital media, someone will have to come up with an idea, think about it, complete it, and either post or upload the completed product before they receive feedback and be able to make any improvements. Nowadays, people can have a crowdsource, people can post their ideas in intervals and obtain constant input, and people can meet others that are still involved in the same idea and collaborate together. "People" has always been a wonderful resource, and digital media make it possible for people to communicate with each other. Claire Cain Miller's "Twitter Dishes Up Suggestions From His Fans," says, "This is primarily because the Internet helps people to share ideas freely and efficiently with large crowds, and...

Social Networking Sites

  I picked Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and LinkedIn for my reference. We can't survive without at least one social media site now. Social networking pages help us connect, chat, get the latest news, and even search for new work. In comparison to other social media sites, LinkedIn is structured for technical interactions between individuals and businesses. LinkedIn is primarily designed to bind people to their professional careers and to extend its network in their rankings. Hiring recruiters may reach individuals on the basis of their profile definition. LinkedIn does not have functionality like uploading images or videos, it instead encourages users to post written posts. LinkedIn is a specialized social media account that focuses on employment and job networking. Many companies need social media platforms like LinkedIn to approve recruiting applications. Facebook focuses primarily on linking people around the world and letting them create new friends. People can add persona...
