Creativity

New media fosters creativity by giving individuals more tools than just a brushes and paint or nuts and bolts to work with, instead they can create more abstract things using technology that haven't been invented before, showing off innovation a completely new way. For example, in the article "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why? it shows how individuals can make 2 different things synonymous with each other by matching it to a similar scene or movement with the other comparison, In addition, new media has helped music artists like Chance The Rapper promote music without a record label and other upcoming artists that use SoundCloud or even Itunes to get their music heard by people.

I think that in the future virtual worlds will accommodate us individually, such as our room, right now we see 4 walls made up of sheet rock, concrete, a...

Social networking sites

While visiting Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, there were quite a few explicit similarities and differences that I noticed.  Facebook is definitely more well known and has twice as much users than the other 3 platforms, and I would say its more informative as far as random facts or news is concerned.  Whereas, Snapchat is more animated and colorful than Facebook, although Facebook just added filters like Snapchat, but its not the same experience as Snapchat.  In addition, Snapchat is completely different as it just updated its new map so you can see where your friends are at and a option to go ghost so no one can see your location, which neither Facebook, Snapchat, or Instagram has at the moment.
