I am second year PhD Student at Texas A&M university at College Station. I got the master degree in Intelligent Systems, at Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, in México. My research interests are related in the application of Machine Learning, Bioinformatics and Artificial Intelligence. Last year I was working on applying machine learning into computer architecture problems. Currently I moved into Bioinformatics.
This website is an assigment for CPSC 656: Computers and New Media at Texas A&M taught by Dr Frank Shipman . The reason I am enrolled in this courses is because I think as computer science specialist we create stories in our own way. For example, we create diagrams, using a special language like UML, that represents the history or a narrative of our software. The software itself is an interactive story where a user or reader introduce his/her data.
As computer science people, we create, as well, new formats to share stories, for example facebook. Facebook allows us to see the life of our friends as a interactive soap because we can share with them some episodes or dramatic events in their lifes as long as being only viewers interacting with them posting coments or emojis. Instagram, it can be perceived as a photo soap, while twitter as a microbloging to express ideas or stories in more concise forms.
As one person of the Xenial generation, it means I know how the world was without all the Internet and this new communication mediums and how all theses have been evolving ever since. My daily life includes the use of so many media devices, for instance, the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is talking to Google Home to stop the alarm. Most of the media I interact with is on Internet. I follow some newpapers facebook pages or twitter accounts and It is the way I keep track about what is happening in the world. In relation of Television, I do not actually wait in front of it for a show. I watch them on line on platforms like netflix, which removes the waiting time for an episode.
A quick analysis of the consumption of media for the students of 656 Course is presented this time. The group is formed by twenty five students all from CSCE department, most of the are master students interested in how new media is changing the society. There is a whole variety of media usage some of them are similar and some of them are new for me.
The use of the media in the group are for mainly two reasons communication and entertainment. People are using smart phones to chat with friends and family and to keep in touch with them through social media networks. I was surprised that not all people use Facebook like [7,14,3], sites like reddit [9] and quora are becoming more popular. The entertainment comes from sites like youtube, netflix and other streaming videos sites that are new for me, like Twitch, [7] and Duonao,[14] and music sites like spotify, youtube and pandora [1].
This is a group of computer sciences people having people interested in video games is expected and the sample showed in that way. I can not say that all were interested on them, because I am not, but most of the participants are. Some of the video games presented are: Rise of Nations, Age of Empires, Assassin's Creed [1,15], FIFA [2],League of Legends[4], Overwatch [4,9],Counter Strike,Fortnite[8],Don't Starve,Stardrew Vally[10],PlayerUnknownsBattleGround [14] among others.
Newspaper, books and TV as traditional mediums are still in use, however most of the participants have access to their content via a computer, tablets (Ipads) or smart phone. This is interesting because the content of the traditional media is consumed the only difference is how authors are delivering it. We are living in an age when a lot of the content is available through a device capable to connect to Internet.
