New media fosters an environment for creativity. Each and everyone of us can create something unique and share it with the world. We can do this by making YouTube videos about a certain hobby we enjoy or to instruct others on how to complete a task. Another example of creativity is creating a mashup of an existing song. In the New York Times article by Sasha Frere Jones, she talks about how mashups tells us how digital technology allows almost anyone to create mashups of existing songs. These mashup even got as far as Billboard top 10. That is certainly impressive. There are certainly a lot more ways new media influences our creativity but I think YouTube is a prime example because we can create anything we want and show it to the world in a video.
