creativity

            New media fosters creativity in many ways. To begin with there are many digital devices offered by new media that allow users to experiment and create new makings they have not created before. Another way new media fosters creativity is by allowing groups of people to interact and participate in community creations. An example of people participating and creating together can be found in the article “Disney Tolerates a RAP Padody of It’s Critters. But Why?” where it discusses how Disney tolerates YouTube music videos that turn Bambi, Simba and Winnie the Pooh into rap stars. These Disney characters are being posted on YouTube being rappers of songs like “Crank That Soulja Boy.” It has become so popular that people are starting to do it for other cartoon characters as well. This is an example of how new media calls for creativity.
