Creativity

New media fosters creativity by making it possible to use the old and create something new, different, and ultimately creative. In the article “1+1+1=1” the author explains how DJs are taking unpopular pop music and mashing it up with their favorite music to create new music. Their “ripping” of the music results in melodic, beautiful mashups that even leave the sole owners of the music impressed. They’ve created a whole new avenue for music by blending different music together to get a different, and what most would argue, a better song. If it weren’t for the possibilities created by new media this mashup wouldn’t have been possible at all. These DJs were able to create the unique music by using just their computer and the Internet.There’s no telling what else can be birthed from new media.
