P2P

File sharing is sharing and transferring digital information, program or system and providing the file access to the receiver through a network. P2P file sharing is the abbreviation for peer-to-peer file sharing, it is a form in which different from server and client concepts. P2P file sharing is sharing files in between individual computers through P2P networks. The examples of P2P file sharing can be Google Lending Club. In the reading, "Peers Find Less Pressure Borrowing From Each Other" by Wendy Kaufman, stated that this system let borrowers and lenders together outside the conventional banking system and take transactions freely. People find this is an alternative to the banking system, very effective, excellent direct funding and also changed consumer behavior.

Privacy

The issues of privacy and confidentiality are always related to new media. In social media, people share their personal information and some wants to share with the public, some wants to share with their friends and some wants to share for themselves, and the social networking services have the specific duty to protect each individual's privacy and confidentiality. If privacy is lost and the information that one does not want to share with the public is reveal, he or she will no longer trust the social media and also, important information or document from organizations is revealed, it will definitely have negative impact the organizations therefore confidentiality and privacy should be preserved.

Advice

If I'm hired by Baruch College to use new media to improve the College, I would make some suggestions about the advanced communicating system using new media. Since the media is all about people seeing at what is going on in the society and share and get information, it is all based on communication. Using advanced technology I would create a social networking service which only can be used within Baruch College students and faculty members. It will provide daily updated information, professor reviews, emergency information, online tutoring and improved communication between all of the students.
