HW Creativity

New media allows for its users to each be creative in their own way.  With so many forms of social media, there are countless ways to express ideas.  You can do it through text, through pictures, through an Instagram story.  Social media provides a medium for anyone to be creative.  This in turn helps social media because it can get ideas from its own user base.  In the New York Times article, "Twitter Serves up Ideas from its Followers," it says the following; "Technology companies have been the most active in relying on others to innovate for them. This is in large part because the Internet lets people exchange ideas easily and rapidly with large groups, and computing tools let people design new products cheaply."  Twitter like many other tech companies, is leaving change and innovation to its users.  With so much software being open source, and almost everyone having access to a computer, the age of new media lets others who couldn't be creative before, express their ideas on a platform where it can be easily seen.
