Creativity

     New media has allowed creativity to be fostered by granting a plethora of tools for people to express themselves and their ideas online. People have the opportunity to create and share things that they have created. New media is essentially just a new platform for people to showcase their talents with ease; it allows their work to reach thousands of people with a few clicks. In his paper Creativity in an Interactive Environment, Isaac Bell states "another way that new media encourages creativity is in this ability to circulate the works with little effort. It is simple for a creator, or audience member, with Internet access to find wellknown online communities such as YouTube, Fanfiction.net, DeviantArt, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Renderosity, or Vimeo, or niche-focused sites like Blip.tv, TED.com, or Pandora, in order to share their works." New media has evolved to a point where the is are multiple avenues for all types of creative works to be shared.
