New media has revolutionized not only how society lives, but how it thinks as well. Over the past years, we have seen creativity become more apparent as new media rose. From art to music to even learning, new media has left a mark with the creativity if fostered in our lives. In the article "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?" we are informed that a youtube video of Winnie the Pooh and his fellow characters were mashed with the hit-song at the time, "Crank that" (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/24/business/media/24crank.html?_r=0). This video went viral and entertained millions of viewers all over the world. Another example of this type of creativity are song mashups. These mashups are composed of popular hits from the year. The following link is an example of the 2012 mashup that resulted in over 100 million views: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCkYw3cRwLo. New media evidently fosters and provides society with more creativity than ever before.
