Creativity

New media fosters creativity in so many ways. It can be used throughout various fields that one may not even consider. The article titled "1 + 1 + 1 = 1 The New Match of Mashups" by Sasha Frere-Jones outlines one of many ways this is possible. Frere-Jones outlines how a DJ named Jeremy Brown used new media to add a creative twist to famous songs. He was able to combine multiple singers voices and this was classified as a mashup. These creations were also available on iTunes making it accessible to more listeners. Gadgets like Acid Pro gave DJ's like Jeremy Brown the chance to make songs repeat constantly. Artists are able to use new media to improve songs and add their own touches to them to appeal to more listeners. However, although DJs are adding unique twists to these famous songs, they don't always receive positive feedback as some people believe the songs shouldn't be changed around.
