First of all, it was really great presentation and I had really great time hearing it.
J. Mei's presentation was about risks of using new media such as online communities.
The example of online communities that we used were pro-eating disorder communities, live webcam communities, MySpace and all kinds of social networking sites.
She gave us a lot of examples that occured in those social networking sites, such as Adam Biggs' live webcam suicide, MySpace Suicide, and Cyber Sexual harrassment.
While I was listening her, I could think one more example, which happend in korea.
In Korea, there are a lot of celebrities commit suicide because of replies from anti-fans on the news about them. So, recently, the government of Korea have strangthen the power of cyber law and actually put those people, who wrote bad things and spread out rumors, to actual jails with several years of sentence.
I completley agreed with J. Mei's point of view of risks of using new media.

Class Wiki So far...
In my opinion our Class Wiki contains all kinds of New Media information in various fields such as music, sports, business and medical etc...
Beginning of the semester, I decided to contribute in New Media in the business field. So I researched book and all kinds of websites to find new and innovative new media.
During the research I found that these days, a lot of companies trying to cut down the travel fees for employees so they are using a video conferencing. This method allow company to not to travel around to have conference in other location. Also, by not traveling around, people could save a lot of time and put those time in preparing the presentation and the conference.
Also, for class wiki, I contributed in putting pictures to other guys posting and also, tried to change misspelled words and wrong use of grammar.
Moreover, I created new pages for New media technologies that recently invented.
I believe this Class Wiki allowed me to learn more about new media and how new media helped our lives.
Class Wiki is such a good way to be more closer to the new media.
