HW Creativity

New Media fosters creativity because it exposes you to new things and ideas. Rather than just having the ideas given to you, you have the freedom to take those ideas and create another type of masterpiece with it. In the article 1+1+1=1 The new math of mashups, it talks about how creative individuals would create mashups of many different songs and just put it all together based on their enjoyment of music. If they liked the rap part of one song and the the acapella of another song, they just mash it up and voila, it's a new song. It's not only for the music part of creativity, this goes for everything. It just depends on what they are exposed to and how they can manipulate the things that they have been exposed to, to create a new piece of artwork.

Creativity and New Media

What I did here was just take the facebook logo and turned it into e-book by using their logo and their font type. Many people do this when they are ripping off other people's ideas to create that they liked in the first place. Such as the Supreme box logo, many people like the idea of the box logo but want their own custom design in it, so they would take Supreme's box logo idea and just use different fonts to create their own design.

Blog: P2P

File sharing is to be able to share one certain type of data from one system device to another system device. P2P file sharing is also known as peer to peer file sharing. It is the distribution of digital media using a network that supports peer to peer platforms. An example of a peer to peer file sharing application would be LimeWire. When I was younger, I would spend hours on limewire trying to download entertainment sources such as music and videos also known as mp3s and mp4s. In the article Peers Find Less Pressure Borrowing From Each Other,   it says "peer-to-peer lending operates like a marketplace" which means that applications that are p2p are like sharing websites. So for example, limewire, people were able to share their music and videos with each other online throughout the internet.
