new media proyect
There are many ways of presenting a point of view an audience of a topic. I showed my point of view over New Media in two different ways, on a typical essay, and on a podcast on a webpage. Presenting my ideas and points in this two forms was similar in some points but also different in many others. Each method of presentation needs different ways of preparation and articulation of the ideas. In the next paragraphs I am going to compare and contrast the two methods I chose to present my ideas, and show my progress on creating each one.
For the first method of presentation I wrote an essay. The process of writing it began with looking at articles about people with different points of view to articulate a more accurate idea. Then I looked at example essays of other people, to see what things should be included or not. Then I proceeded to brainstorm my ideas and outline the essay. After outlining, I wrote the first draft. Finally I edited the first draft after a peer review and made the final draft. Some pleasures I found doing the essay method is that you can stop between ideas while working on a point without ruining the point and not having to have lots of memorized information. Some difficulties I found doing the essay format was having to do in text and mla citations as well as doing the research for articles to cite. That was my process of writing an essay about new media.
The second method I used was the podcast, which is the new media version. For this I had to do research about a proper new media way of presenting my ideas in a creative but easy way. After that I created the page where the podcast would appear ( using soundcloud.com). Then I used my essay's information to outline the dialog for the podcasts. At the end I just made the podcast with the dialog in the webpage I had for the podcasts. Some pleasures I found while doing this method was that it is short and fast to do and you don't have to use mla citation format. On the other hand, difficulties included that when you start a point you have to do it completely and if you make a little mistake then you had to repeat everything. Those were the things I found while doing the podcast form of presentation.
There are also many similarities between making both methods. First, there is always a research for information. Another similarity is doing an outline on how it will look at the end. After outline I used a computer to make both of them . Both methods have in common that i used the same number of points to show my point of view. There are similarities but not many, which shows the difference between the methods I used.
As well as similarities, there are also differences in the podcast and the essay. The podcast format was made online, while the essay was made in Word. Doing the podcast was faster to do and easier to share. The major difference was doing the podcast by voice and the essay by hand, because in the essay if you mess up a sentence, you just erase and write it again, while the podcast has to be perfect or you have to restart. The methods of citation were different, in the podcast you can just mention the thing you are citing while in the essay you need to Mla cite the sources in a formal way. Those were the most outstanding differences I felt while doing both presentations.
In conclusion, giving a point of view on an essay and doing it on a podcast has its similarities but there are more differences. Doing a podcast about new media is easier and faster to do than writing an essay, because its shorter and more informal. Writing the essay brings the joy of having pauses to think and the formality of the written information. The podcast brings problems, like all the memorization needed to do the podcast. The essay brings the problems of giving in citations in MLA format. All methods of sharing a point of view bring advantages but also disadvantages.

PEER ARTICLES COMPARE AND CONTRASt
I decided to compare two articles, the one shown to me by Sergio Escobar and the other by Naim Sadeghian. The first article is " New Meida Study: Videogames and Teens Behaviour", by John Cramer, posted in " DarthmonthNow.com". The article states videogames have negative effects on the body and cause agressive attitudes in teenagers who play them. The second article is " Hey Kids, Look at Me When We´re Talking", by the company Anat Even Or", posted in the New York Times. The article is about how kids are spending to much time looking at their screens and are loosing the ability to identify non-verbal comunication. This two articles are similiar in some points even looking so different from each other.
The point that is more similiar between this two articles is that spending lots of time looking at screens of New Media can make us can put our lives at risk. The article of " New Meida Study: Videogames and Teens Behaviour" states "... Darthmonth study shows such videogames mat lead teens to drive recklessly and experience increase in automovile accidentes, police stops and willingness to drink and drive" (Cramer, John, 2014). In " Hey Kids, Look at Me When We´re Talking", the author states -. " With so much experience, we honed the ability to detect sometimes life saving information" (Anat Even Or, 2014"). In both cases we can see that looking at televiosion, using ipads or similar new media devices, mostly videogames can be a risk to our lives in general. This shows how easily our brain can be changed by something so meaninless like a phone or a videogame.
The articles are also different on what they are trying to tell the readers. In the ariticle by Cramer, everything is about how teens can risk their lives on purpose becuase of the videogames. In the other hand the Anat Even Or article is about how kids are loosing primary skills, like giving a proper handshake , and how their are loosing non verbal comuniation skills, wich can cause them to not understand life saving situation. In the second article, there is n insinuation that the kids are threathning their lives knowingly, but in the first article there is that insinuation. That are the diferences between both articles.
In conclusion, two articles that are different from each other come to the same same idea. Comparing "Hey Kids, Look at Me When We´re Talking" and " New Meida Study: Videogames and Teens Behaviour", we can see that spending lots of time on new media can cause us to threathen our lives. There are also diferences, like one of them stating that teens risk their lives knowingly and the other one that they risk their lives involuntarily and not knowing how their are in danger. To end, both articles are a warning for us to be aware of how new media affects our lives.
