Principles of new media

Leave a comment

I learnt a lot from this class about the media and data. It was shocking to know how big companies just uses  us to generate data for their own benefit which put us in a great risk.After attending this class, I got to have broader knowledge about new media  and how it works.For me , I think the five principles of new media would be are as follows.
Numerical represenation
Graphical representation
Data collection
Transcoding
variability

Numerical Representation :
Numerical Representaion because everything behind the scenes of media is the huge log of binary digits. Without numericals, new media is hard to survive or I guess new ways would have been developed.

Graphical representation:
New media is all about graphics. They use numbers and transform it into graphics to create different look of websites.

Data Collection:
Media collects data as well . These data could be related to different topics and derived from different surveys.

Transcoding :
Trasncoding is designed to blend the relation between the computer and culture of human being. The form of media are changed via transcoding.

Variabilty:
The new media can be found in different formats.There is not any restriction on which format it should be . We can find various forms of it.

#e-coli

Recently, E coli bacteria was found in the Romaine lettuce. This news hit the millions of Americans who were preparing for the celebration of their Thanksgiving parties. Romaine lettuce usually is served in salads. “If you do not know if the lettuce is romaine or whether a salad mix contains romaine, do not eat it and throw it away,” the C.D.C. statement said. “Wash and sanitize drawers or shelves in refrigerators where romaine was stored.”
The  outbreak was first identified on Oct. 8  which has led to the hospitalization of 13 people.One of the person developed kidney fever as a result of consumption of romaine lettuce. Several people are hospitalized in Canada and other states of America. Therefore, it is really important to take action on sanitization and think about the food we consume.
Also, it is really essential for government or health department to find a solution to the outbreak. So that, people won’t have to suffer. In addition, tracing down of the causes of outbreak and stopping it before it spreads is very important which will prevent from whole industry to suffer. There’s a famous saying, “prevention is better than cure” . Regular check of the field twice or thrice a year, where food grows by the government official might help to mitigate the cases to some extent.

Poke Lunch

Leave a comment


I ordered takeout from the store called Pokework. It is located at 117 E 41st St.I was excited to try their menu because i like poke a lot. It has been like my hobby to try out every poke store to find out the right one where I can visit every time. I feel happy to say that this store won’t disappoint you. The staff was nice to me. The menu was pretty similar like all the poke usually have. But, they have kale noodles which you can choose as the base of your poke bowl which was new for me.
I ordered my poke bowl with kale noodles as my base, ahi tuna, and spicy tuna were proteins, edamame, cucumbers,kani, orange and mango as the topping and seaweed and lotus root chips for the crunch. for the dressing, I chose spicy mayo. They’ll build your poke bowl with love and care which is why I’ll definitely go back to them . The kale noodles tasted good, the fish was fresh and the combination of everything was delicious. One thing that made me sad was the portion of the bowl was not worth it for the amount I paid. The total amount I paid was $14.
