Creativity

New media has resulted in people being more creative. It allows people to express themselves in a magnitude of ways. For example, people can now either make and share a video on YouTube, use Twitter to tweet something that's on their mind, and also make mashups of songs that they like listening to and remix them so that they hear a completely new song. In the New York Times article, "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?" by Brooks Barnes, it is mentioned how Disney has possibly allowed, or what is interpreted to be allowed due to not taking any action on the matter, a user to make a mashup of a song called "Crank That" by Soulja Boy, and take clips of scenes from Winnie The Pooh. A mashup is pretty much taking snippets of TV shows, movies, or animated shows, and then combining the snippets to make it seem that a song is being sung through them.
