Creativity

The media has gone a long way to be what it is today. In the past, books, magazines, television, etc were considered to be new media, but as time passed technology has been a huge influence over these mediums; now we have things such as social media, Skype, electronic books, and many more evolved media. These new medias emphasize connectivity, interactivity, and freedom of expression. These three things I believe to be important components to be creative; with the ability to connect with others from all over the world, and to able to say whatever your mind conjure up, makes it possible to get new ideas and create a bond with others. Creating new ideas, doesn't always happen with one brilliant moment, but through the borrowing of other ideas and adding to it. For instance, in the article Creators, Audience and New Media they stated that, "Creators may be inspired by the ideas of a particular audience... the audience may use these works in their own creations. This shows how the sharing and expression of multiple ideas with each other could lead to more new ideas, thus making media a hub of creativity.
