Creativity

There are tons of ways in which new media fosters creativity, whether its for educational, personal, entertainment, or business purposes. A great example of this can be found in the article "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?" by Brooks Barnes. YouTube users took different clips from popular Disney and Nickelodeon animated shows like Winnie the Pooh and Sponge bob Square pants and dubbed them with the audio of "Crank that" by Soulja Boy. Even a Nickelodeon spokesperson approved of this by giving permission to continue making these type of comedic mash ups and also complimented the editing work. This is a good example of how new media allows us to use and express our imagination in order to create funny and creative content. Platforms like YouTube has been the go-to sites for years to see the newest comedy videos created by people just like us. Thanks to new media, we have so many options to choose from when it comes to getting our ideas out there to the world.
