According to Wikipedia, File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. A peer-to-peer network allows computer hardware and software to communicate without the need for a server. Peer-to-peer file sharing refers to the distribution of digital media over a P2P network, in which the files are located on individuals' computer and shared with other members of the network, rather than on a centralized server. Some examples of P2P are: Open-source Software, BitTorrent, Air BnB,Uber, Spotify, eBay, Etsy. In the article, Digital Pirates Winning Battle With Studios, the author provided one of the problems of the P2P which is that the easy access to a pirated video online and make omovie business lost money.

Privacy
In this post, discuss how the issues of privacy and confidentiality are related to new media.
Privacy and confidentiality are one of the significant concerns in new media. In most of the new media, you need to sign in to get access to them where you need to write your basic information. Some of them ask you for more than that such as your credit card information because you need to pay to make reservations in a hotel's, buy tickets to fly or as Amazon where you can buy anything that you can imagine. Most of those platforms give you the option to restrict the information that you can share and with who you can share it. However, with the advancement of technology, some programs and applications are easy to download and let your electronic devices get infected with any virus. Those viruses are used to hack or leak your personal information and steal your identity. For example, last year, Marriot, which is the hotel and conference center, was hacked leading the exposition of information of more than 500 million guests. Privacy and confidentiality is one aspect that experts are still working on so their users can navigate on the internet with confidence.

Advice
You are hired by Baruch College to use new media to improve the College. What are some suggestions you would make using new media?
The Walk-in hours for the undergraduate and orientation department is limited while there are a lot of students who are in need to see an advisor. During the registration period, students spend hours and hours in the waiting room. The orientation department has the option to talk with an advisor online too; however, it is only for 15 min, and you have to be lucky to find a blank spot to make an online appointment. I would like to create a group on Facebook where you can see the advisors available after office hours and also during the weekends. Because no all the students might use Facebook, I could add a section on the Baruch website that offers the same idea. The option to chat with your advisers after office hours and with no limited time.
