Creativity

New Media, due to the increasing popularity, is fostering creativity worldwide. Whether through social media or virtual worlds, users feel the need to become creative, due to rapid expansion. As one user creates something, it's much easier for people around the world to see it, break it down, reconstruct it, and perhaps make it better. For instance, in the article, "1 + 1 + 1 = 1", a user created a mash-up which then became an incredibly popular type of song. As mentioned in the article, the first major mash-up was seen as the The Grey Album, a mash-up of a Jay-Z Album and a Beatles Album. Since then, mashups have become incredibly popularity, through an outlet many of us know as YouTube. New Media allows for many people to quickly see advances and creativity and expand upon it, which fosters creativity world-wide.
