 Creativity and Social Media

 Using droppelme.com, I made this avatar because I was trying download second life in my laptop and it wasn't working perfectly. But I used background and brightness elements for this avatar and it was fun creating it. droppelme.com is the easiest way to create an avatar for the virtual world.

Social Media

 Social Networking Websites

 I love social networking websites.
 I am on 6 different social Networking websites listed below:

• facebook
• orkut
• google plus
• twitter
• instagram
• hi5

I would prefer facebook and instagram the most because those are the websites are pretty famous and more preferable these days. My all friends prefer to keep in contact with facebook plus it's easily accessible.

A virtual world is a group online community which allows users to interact with one another and use and create objects.

"New media is a general term covering nontraditional ways of delivering information." (Haynes) Using the new media, it became easier to share or deliver information to other users.

"Yahoo plans to deploy its personalization technology and search infrastructure to Tumblr, which should help users find relevant content more easily." (Scheroeder) In the future, I would like to see tumblr as a part of my virtual world because I love reading quotes and I always find the best  quotes on tumblr.

World Wide Web

 FUTURE OF WORLD WIDE WEB

 Open access to academic papers will eventually defeat publishers who seek to lock scholarly findings behind paywalls. (Sir) I agree with founder of world wide web because we, as a student, pay a lot of money to subscribe the academic journals. So In the future, I would like to see they make it available for us online.

THE CLOUD

"The Cloud" is a storage space that Amazon rented from Internet Giant. (CHEN)
 Cloud computing derived from drawings of Internet as a cloud. Cloud is a metaphor for the Internet. (ppt)
Clouds can be accessed by PC, laptops and smartphones.
