Creativity

In recent years, various platforms of new media has allowed people to foster creativity in many ways and dimensions. Making videos, bloopers, vines has been very popular amongst all ages and groups and with the variety of media platforms it became much more accessible leading to people vividly express their creative ideas. I would like to point out YouTube, a huge platforms for videos and especially for people creating their own content. Make up tutorials, video gameplays, clips have been getting millions of views. I'm shocked how much of a huge business the videos of toys for little kids became generating millions of likes and of course dollars. In "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?", it states how people have been making mash ups of famous cartoons and creating their own videos changing the ideas and content while making it more fun and entertaining. I personally always prefer to watch videos like those for entertainment, and some of them are actually very funny. For example, the videos where they take the politicans' speeches and insert different words and calling it Lip Reading and it becomes just a hilarious video of a President talking about cheeseburgers and unicorns. I think it's great that we have the ability and needed platforms for people to have fun and create the kind of content where anything can be turned to completely different.
