The Next New Thing
I know this is a long shot but I really think our society would benefit from cellphones which did not generate radiation. Radiation from cellphones cause cancers and tumors. This is a scary thought especially for those who are on frequent, long business calls to those who are just talking with their best friends or girlfriend/boyfriend over the cell phone every night. Lately I've been speaking to my girlfriend on speaker every night since before that I used to spend anywhere from 1 to 3 hours on the cell phone with her every night for the past 3 years. I think if I would have continued at this rate, I would have developed severe illness. So radiation-less cellphones would be a great new thing. (I know there are cellphones that generate very little radiation but it would be nice to have all cellphones which come out to have no radiation)
Our Class Wiki - So Far
The wiki I chose to work on is New Media and Sports because one of my biggest hobbies is sports. My job in the wiki is editor. So far I've messaged contributors in my group to find out what specific task in the wiki they would like to contribute to. This is just to ensure that everyone is on a different topic and understands what they plan to work on.
As editor of the page, I plan to fix corrections of the wiki as it is right now. From my experience of doing research on wikipedia.org, I understand all the references are almost always found at the bottom of the wiki. I plan to make this the format of the New Media and Sports wiki. Also as my team inputs their contributions, I will overlook to see what input I'm able to make and any editing if necessary.
In most wikipedia pages, you will see there is a brief overview of the subject at the very top of the page, which is followed by the table of contents. I was thinking I would like to add a general introduction to what new media is. I will have to discuss this edit with Professor Adler.

About My Term Research Paper
The title of my term research paper is The Essentials to a Successful Blog. I chose this topic because I felt intrigued with being introduced to blogs from this class. I was even more excited when I found out the way people can make money from blogging. I thought this may be something I may want to further pursue after this semester.
What I learned from my research on this topic are the various ways of generating revenue from your blog. I also learned the do's and dont's of blogging. Also I learned the impact blogging can make in a society. Although I realize a lot hard work and time investment has to be put into a blog, I was still interesting in how you can make money off writing about something you may have a passion about.
