Creativity and New Media

A very popular form of new media fostering creativity, is the internet creating challenges that people across the world participate in. Social media stars, celebrities, are all commonly known to be spreading such viral trends which become challenges that their viewers or fans participate in. Dance challenges are quite prominently shared in social media, with the simple addition of a hashtag and the name of the challenge on your post, allows you to view and connect with other people who are also participating in these internet challenges. We're allowed to be creative to our own personal extents with these online challenges, as everyone has a unique twist to the challenge, but is still relevant to the purpose of the challenge, whether it's for a good cause like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, or even a dance challenge. People do get recognized by these challenges, whether it's by the community or your favorite star or celebrity, reposting, retweeting, sharing on Facebook. I find this as being a way to creatively communicate your own art across the world, and I've done these online internet dance challenges myself! The link below is one of the dance challenges I did, which was Chris Brown's dance challenge. I post such challenges on my Instagram, and these dance challenges allow me to portray my own art in the form of dance, and it's great to see what other people are capable to do with these dance challenges as well as you do get a lot of creative ideas that turn into unique skits and group choreography, which are just really fun to watch and do. Below is a link from my facebook from one of the challenges I did and posted on my Instagram as well. Hope you enjoy :)

Blog: Wiki So Far

Currently I have not added any content as of yet, but what I do intend to add to the Class Wiki page(s) are: Update some of the content in the YouTube page in the Class Wiki, talking about more up and coming YouTubers who have impacted the community as well as changed the social media game for years to come. I'll also include another prominent YouTube channel like Complex into the YouTube page of our class wiki. I'll be explaining the significance of these more recent YouTube channels while updating that page in our class wiki.  I will also incorporate more information on the Social Networking page, and delving into the "Live" features of social networking sites or apps such as "Facebook Live" or "Instagram Live." With my research I will explain more about what Live Streaming is, and how it is the future of social media. I will also look over the content in our Class Wiki, and attempt to edit and fix the content on these pages looking to eith...

HW Creativity

New Media fosters creativity, because of the various ways that you can communicate across the platforms and new technology interfaces we have today. Today's world has become quite technologically savvy, as we're able to successfully utilize the new media we possess in communicating across the world. With such capabilities in communication like this, anyone and everyone can pitch ideas and be as creative as possible which is the beauty of being in a digital era. In fact, a lot of technology companies are supposedly "relying others to innovate for them," as mentioned in the "Twitter Serves Up Ideas From its Followers" article. Claire Miller also states in the article how influential people are due to the power of the internet, as people are exchanging ideas at high rates, and with computing tools at our availability, allows people to create new products inexpensively. Twitter was described as being heavily "user-generated innovation" throughout the ...

Blog: Social networking sites

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Linkedin are four notable social networking sites that I’m familiar with and for the most part use on a daily basis. The impressions I have of each respective social networking sites are all different, because each social networking site evokes a different interface to me personally. I tend to use Instagram a lot, simply because it’s one of the easiest social networking sites to use, and it’s a matter of just swiping downwards to see what new posts that your friends and notable people that you follow, post. Instagram connects you to more strangers and other pages that may spark your interest, so I find Instagram to be more personal and more entertaining out of the four social networking sites. Facebook is easy to communicate with people you generally know, whether it’s with your family or your own peers, it’s quite easy to see what they are posting and what they like on Facebook that might interest you. Facebook is a bit more intimate, in terms of th...
