Creativity

     There is a vast amount of creativity in today's society. Mostly due to New Media. Websites like YouTube allow for a display of such creativity. In The New York Times  article, 'Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?' we understand the true power of using infamous Disney characters to the advantage of creativity in New Media. While, the article does not necessarily blatantly depict the creativity; it is certainly evident. Creativity is displayed in the editing of cartoon movies to be in the rap song 'Crank Dat' by Soulja Boy. This type of creativity received 7 Million views on YouTube. Simba and Bambi are now mashed into music videos. This is something that could not be done without editing software. However, the popular New Media platform, YouTube allows for the creativity to be displayed on a widespread forum.

     In the article, Using Flickr tags to describe city cores, we are introduced to tagging which is very prominent in the New Media world. Tagging allows for people to share their pictures, ideas, or even comments about a certain place or event on their own social media, in this case Flickr, and using a tag of the place will help other see it. This almost allows for a collage of ideas or pictures about a certain place from just one tag. Essentially a work of art by many different people. Without these popular social media websites this simply would not be possible.

This is why people are more creative due to new media.
