Privacy

In recent days, privacy and cybersecurity have become an issue with major concerns. There is just so much personal information that we store online that, if compromised, can easily upset our lives significantly. With the rise in cases regarding cybersecurity breaches and hacking, this matter greatly impacts those of us who utilize new media every day. Though it would be ideal to maintain a perfect impassable cybersecurity system, the reality is that there still are so many loopholes that can be decoded. Furthermore, we have been so deeply engrained into using new media, that we simply cannot break away from it. Such conditions explain why professions in enforcing cybersecurity are emerging. If this continues, soon, we may be able to stop worrying about privacy and confidentially entirely.

    Privacy is definitely a problem in the modern world with all the social media platforms. We should also be careful on our own because cybersecurity professionals can't protect all of us.

P2P

File-sharing is a broad term to describe the transfer of data between two entities. There are many different ways to share files - from one operating system to another using USB flash drives, from an email to another, and by using fax. More specifically, P2P, or Peer-to-Peer file sharing is utilizing software to download files online and further creating a network that facilitates other users who download and upload the same content. An example of P2P sharing is the Lending Club, which Google has invested $125 million in 2013. The Lending Club presents itself to be the platform where borrowers and lenders can partake in lending transactions online, without the need for a traditional bank.

Social Media and the NBA: Surprising Correlation Between NBA Salaries and Social Media Usage

Social Media and the NBA: Surprising Correlation Between NBA Salaries and Social Media Usage As communication technologies evolve, players no longer need to rely solely on classic media outlets (TV, newspapers) to communicate with their fans. The NBA player base, as a whole, began to take their thoughts and feelings to new media outlets, especially Twitter and Instagram, and unlike TVs and newspapers, these players can quantitatively see how many people their messages have reached online. Such statistics soon became the metrics that informally measure players' popularity. In this paper, I aim to explore whether there is a distinguishable positive correlation between social media outreach and NBA salaries. If not, I plan to turn my attention to individual player's advertising revenue.
