HW Creativity

People use technology to create social media platforms, which initiates another form of creativity among users by extending the original idea into many. These social platforms that were originally designed for users to share photos, videos, and thoughts. Creativity gives room to people to see the massive potential of these platforms and come up with new ideas. So social media now are used by businesses to promote their business, posting ads, used by politicians to reach out to their audiences, used by recruiters to find candidates, and candidates to find jobs. This was just one example of how new media or technology in general foster creativity. Bell, Isaac. In his study “Creators, Audiences, and New Media: Creativity in an Interactive Environment,” states that “We already know that an accelerator for creative efforts is the capacity to locate, study, review, and revise existing projects and performances, such as open-source software modules. Web page source code, architectural drawings, or music scores. The Web has done much to make existing projects and performances accessible and search engines like Google have helped innovators to quickly find what they want.” In other words, Bell believes that the Internet/technology enables creativity. Besides, it provides people with tools that make them release their imagination and think outside the box.
