Creativity

New media fosters creativity because it merges two types of media: old media and new media. By combining both of these, we can see innovation through mashups. One example of this can be seen through The New York Times article Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters, But Why? It discusses how individuals use classic Disney characters such as Winnie the Pooh, SpongeBob Squarepants, and Simba and having a rap song voiced over the cartoon. This combines classic old videos that everyone can relate to and merge it with new rap songs to add a creative vibe, which leads to more attraction.

There are many times when people just go to class and literally don’t talk to anyone, but if you see the person that has been commenting on your work that could then start an in-person conversation. Another way to use new media is to make some kind of account for every club, team, and group on campus, whether it is an Instagram account, Facebook, Twitter, etc. This way the students and faculty can follow the pages and get updates about all the information these groups have to offer. But is not just for the people that attend the school it can also be useful to the people who are looking into attending or working there, it’s a useful to
