Creativity

New Media promotes creativity in many unique ways. There are so many different ways for people to express themselves via new media. A second life avatar can represent a person designing a new image for themselves. As I mentioned in my last blog entry, people design worlds and islands in Second Life that are extremely creative. It is an art of its own. We all have great ideas everyday - new media provides us with a method expressing these ideas. Take the jk wedding dance, Jill and Kevin had a creative idea for a wedding march. Through the use of YouTube they were able to share their wedding dance with the world.

Mashups, are another way people use new media for creative ideas. People remix videos and songs all the time. The article "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?" discusses how many companies will not consider mashups a copyright infringement. In fact many companies, such as Nickelodeon, find these mash videos entertaining and amusing.
