Creativity

New media such as Blogs, Social Networks and YouTube interact with one another offering creative ways for people to express their opinions and talents. I think new media offer more opportunities for people to share their ideas about almost anything. Creativity to me means to create something new while already using existing resources. One of the biggest platforms that new media fosters creativity is Youtube. Many people upload videos almost about everything. The song "You” by Souja Boy is a good example. The song and video was such a big hit on Youtube that millions of people created their own version for the song. Since the video was posted on Youtube it had millions of viewers tuning in and remaking the video. Because of Youtube, more and more people have the opportunity to be acquainted with the new crazes all over the world. In the article called Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why? YouTube videos were made which involved Disney characters edited with the song "Crank That" a rap song which gained so much popularity. I think this is young and fresh way to express one’s creativity.
