Baruch and New Media

-


One of the ways Baruch College can improve the university experience for its students is increasing the community atmosphere and community engagement within the university. Because Baruch College is tainted with the reputation of being a commuter school, many students become disengaged with the community of the school. Therefore to remedy this, the school can launch initiatives with new media mediums such as social media to increase awareness of social events and other aspects of college social life. They can also create initiatives for classroom settings that allow faculty and students to engage in subject matters more in depth and increase the overall academic aspects of the university setting. The Internet has invited Baruch College and the rest of universities to live online, providing a more intimate relationship with its student body and can continue to cater to students in a way that increases the benefits of the student body.

Before the advent of CSS and Javascript, websites were mainly text, and looked ugly but were nonetheless functional. Websites nowadays are the heart of organizations, companies, forums, blogs, video hosting pages and everything else imaginable. Everything from Google.com, as barebones as it may look, is a website with its own reason of being. (1) I want to study the evolution of the website and how creative individuals took a text editor and created something out of nothing to revolutionize the way the Internet connects. My research thus far have included the introduction of HTML 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, how websites of the past matched their demographic and how the advent of the CSS, JavaScript, PHP and SQL led to the mass technological feats of today's modern website. I want to highlight the most important...
