Suggest a new type of "new media" that doesn't currently exist. Describe it. A type of new media that doesn't currently exist could possibly Face Identification for a social media applications that you would have to use your own face to use and nobody elses or it would not work. This could potentially help people stop being deceived online by others pretending to be someone they are not. It wouldn't allow you to make more than one profile and could potentially decrease cyber bullying because then people cannot make fake pages to post hurtful things about one another.

File sharing is when you transmit files from one computer to another computer over a network or through the internet. P2P File sharing or peer to peer file sharing is when you share digital media such as music over with a person that has P2P software. Some examples are sharing music or videos and watching television shows or movies or different sites with pirated movies. In the article " Digital Pirates winning Battle with studies" they say that many of  these sites are in countries where they do very little in piracy efforts so most studios cannot account for how content is being stolen.

In this post, discuss how the issues of privacy and confidentiality are related to new media

In society today there are so many different  forms of new media and social networking it can be hard to keep up. To sign up for some of these sites they make you give just a little bit of information and then soon after they want you to add more. If  a person is not reading all the terms and conditions for the each site like most of don't and just hit " I agree" we are giving these companies the right to share our information with who ever will give them the most money. Some sites allow for some confidentiality because most people can still see a lot of your information. I think more needs to be done for privacy or else people will not want to post at all.
