It hard to forecast the future of new media. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn were all created within the last ten year and multiple new media tools seam to be introduced on a daily basis. The current uses of new media are to connect with friends, build professional networks, and discover new things.
I think new media will shift towards putting together all of the uses of current new media tools. People use different social media sites because they have different purposes. This creates a barrier and Instagram is one of the better platforms for sharing pictures or Twitter is the best use of a micro blog, people are not allowed to share everything to everyone in their network or expand their network outside of the platforms they use.
An issue with a single platform is privacy, however I think whichever new media platform that is the leader of the shift will have better privacy and security measures than all of the current platforms. While its hard to tell what this platform may be or when its coming, I think new media will ultimately bring all the functions of current new media together.

P2P File Sharing
File sharing is the use of devices or applications that allow users to give different kinds of files to others. Devices that could be used for file sharing are USB drives, CD's and SD cards.
Examples of files that could be shared are PDFs and MP3s but there are others. Peer to Peer file sharing are internet applications that gives people the abilty to share files.
Many P2P sharing have been associated with illegal downloads of music, movies, book and other forms of entertainment. Napster was one of the first P2p sites that allowed users to share and download music files from others, but it was shut down in 2001 after lawsuits from various musically artists. According to The Motion Picture Association of America, in 2009, illegal downloads from P2P sites led to forty percent loss in total movie revenue (Stelter,Stone).One well known P2P file sharing app is BitTorrent, allows users to download files artist put on the site at various prices.

Advice
New media is a great way to market different activities and services in Baruch College that is beneficial to the students but are sometimes under promoted. Email and posters are great way to inform students about different services but new media would bring bigger attendances and more interest to different events around the school.
New media has helped promote sporting events in Baruch. We have about 15 sports teams in Baruch and over 200 student athletes who play on those teams. Baruch should help promote both the students's athletic and academic achievements. The athletic department already has a Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram which highlight athletes and various events. Admissions has also used new media to promote prospective students. They also use Facebook and Instagram to promote to new students. Its a great to show off different facilities and services in Baruch.
My advise for the the College is use the resources that the other departments use. Also promote the College through out the school in other ways.
