Moving Forward

Been looking at some sites that are related to my capstone project but im not really finding anything new thats sparked an idea for my current project.. im feeling pretty useless doing more research and plan to start building the site this week becuase usually I can further an idea better by actually creating it and working through flaws as they occur.

Basically not much to post about now but soon there will be approaches and things to look at.

What is New Media - Jenkins

My capstone best fits the networked trait of the new media landscape. This is because my project focuses on bringing many people to many others in a way that was not possible in previous methods of communications.

Least like my capstone is the everyday trait. I'm not sure where exactly my project would fit here, nor do I believe it should. This trait seems to be pretty cosmetic and I'm not sure how I could or would want to emulate this trait.

I agree with many of Jenkins definitions although I do find that some of them although accurate are not desirable. "In some ways, these technologies have been a wedge between family members; young people often deploy media to cut themselves off from the people around them." This statement although true is a look at the problems with new media. Unfortunately my project doesn't do anything to combat this flaw.
