New Media and Access for the Disabled - Boom or Bust?


Hello everyone, my topic for the research paper is called "New Media and Access for the Disabled - Boom or Bust?" Undoubtedly, new media brings a lot of advantages to everyone, including the people with different types of disability. Therefore, new media definitely is a "boom". 

First of all, I will talk about how is the life of disabled people and the inconveniences and disadvantages in their lives. After that, I will bring out some examples of new media that helps disabled people. Then, I will analyze how those new media affect them from economic, sociological and other perspectives that are suitable to the example. In addition, I will show how their lives have changed positively since new media comes out. In order to strengthen my argument, I will bring out some scholarly articles and news to support my thesis. Finally, I will summarize all the supporting evidences.

I think it is a good research topic because most people only consider how new media affect community as a whole, but they often forget disable people around us. New media can be the most useful tools for them to survive and fit into the society. Therefore, I think it is a meaningful topic to research and discuss.

We all know that parking is vital to many of us. It is very difficult to find a parking especially in New York City or during holiday. Even though we  find an spot, we sometimes are not sure can we park here or not. Therefore, I think a new media could be about parking. This media can help users to find available parking spot near you. When one user is ready to leave, he can notify other users near him, and whoever responses faster, he or she can get the parking spot. This media also helps users to figure out whether this spot is parking meter or unavailable at this moment. It also translate into different language, which helps foreigners as well. This media takes a lot of effort and time to complete, but if someone has successfully create it, I strongly believe almost everyone will use it even though it might cost few dollars per month.

Although new media has a lot of advantages, it has disadvantages in a subtle way. The biggest and serious issue is privacy. The biggest internet corporations collect our information when we are using the software. They collect our informations and provides and sells them to other big corporations. Those informations include website we visit, our shopping hobbit, and our interests that are analyzed by computer. Some websites of the biggest corporation put tracking software in our computer when we visit their websites. It clearly violates our privacy, but the supreme court ruled that it is ok for them to put tracking in our computers. I was shocked to hear that. In addition, the biggest internet corporation, Google, is monitoring our face and voice when we are using Google. There is a Youtuber who did an experiment. He first found out what kind of advertisements appeared on the website, which are mixed with different products and news. Then, he closed the website and pretended to talk ab

If Baruch College hired me to use new media to improve the college, I would implement 3 things. First, I will make a open online Baruch library where has all the textbook students need for different courses. By doing so, students can download the textbooks either for free or cheaper price. The problem is copyright. Therefore, Baruch should negotiate with the publications for a greater deal. We all know that if the textbook is too expensive, we can still find free online textbook online in some ways, but it might takes longer time. Then why don't publication lower the price for college students, so we can download the online version in a cheaper price. It benefits both sides, the publication and students. Second, I will implement a new and updated ID card which allows students and professors entering the building without swiping. We all know that it is annoying to take out our ID card and swipe every time we enter a new building. With a updated ID card, students can enter the buildi
