Creativity

New media can help foster creativity in many ways. Since new media allows people to communicate and collaborate with each other it is easier to share your ideas. For example, popular YouTubers such as "MysteryGuitarMan" and "Smosh" have to constantly be creative to produce content that people want to see. The reason they have so many subscribers is because of their creativeness. Sometimes they ask for people's opinions in the comments section to get ideas because that is the best place to interact with your audience. Another example would be the new Lego site called Design byME. According to the NYTimes article titled "Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Users", Lego made this site so that fans could create their own designs and models and Lego eventually sells those designs. They are basically leaving the creativity to their fans and Lego is saving loads of money by doing this.
