Creativity

New media is an outlet for people who need to express themselves without boundaries. I believe new media makes it really easy for someone to be creative. A lot of the sites we consider new media such as a blog, Facebook, Instagram and others like this, allow you express your ideas, your thoughts online through words, videos or pictures. It is almost a form of art when you use these sites because you are using creativity. YouTube is a site where people posts all kinds of videos. These videos can either be of actual people, or of things that people make up and mix together. An example of this comes from the article "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. Buy Why?" by Brooks Barnes. Where people did mash ups of cartoon characters singing and making a music video to the songs. The example talks about the song "Crank That" by Soulja Boy. These people remade this music video with actual characters. This is an example as to how people are using new media to show their creativity. This is the easiest way to express your creativity. Your behind a computer screen just talking about a topic you want and sharing photos and videos.
