New Media has made many great impacts to the way we live today. One of it's greatest contributions would be to the creativity of our society. One example that makes good use of the collaboration aspect of New Media would be explained in The New Math of Mashups. In the article, it explains how Jeremy part was able to create a great piece through breaking off a part of "Debra" and mixing it with "Frontin'." It hit the top of the charts on iTunes quickly and was a great success.
Other forms of collaboration leading to creativity would be on Minecraft, Reddit, Skyrim, and other game mods. In the games mentioned, players are able to create their own pieces and share it with others. Reddit allows the dispersal of information and allow people to learn new things to further the advancement of the field. The games have built in creative tools for players to show their own style and flair.
There are also other platforms which have more of a community aspect leading to creativity such as Youtube and Facebook. They are great ways to get feedback and get interaction with the audience of the work. In addition Tinder makes people try to be more creative as well in order to stand out. I feel that New Media has made access to all types of information and arts extremely convenient and I hope to continue using the aforementioned platforms.
