Creative

New media fosters creativity in many ways. From people using social media to make themselves their own brand to new genres of music being created, new media has given creatives everywhere a platform. In the article, The New Math of Mashups from The New Yorker Magazine, we see an example of a creative using new media to mix two seemingly unrelated songs into one that is fun to listen to and also very creative. Music has been radically changed with the arrival of new media, in fact there is even a brand new genre that was born from this technology called electric dance music (EDM). EDM has quickly taken over the youth and has created a multi billion dollar business for itself because of people who are creative enough to make music with nothing but their computers. Some of the best EDM artists record real life sounds and mix them in with electronic notes that creates some of the most unique songs anyone could ever imagine. Music is a huge industry that has been impacted heavy by new media, but it is still only one creative platform! There are numerous other areas where new media fosters creativity and as the technology gets better so will the creativity it evokes.
