New media allows people to share faster than before and because of that we see a huge influx of creativity. We share pictures and music in a couple of seconds and everyone we know gets to see it and comment and share it with others. Other people might like the photo or video and might want to make a change to make it funnier or more artistic. The great thing is that we share and add our own touch to content and in a way it makes us a part of the content.
If we look at the song "Frontin' on Debra" we see that its a mashup between two different songs from two different eras. DJ Reset took these two songs "Debra" and "Frontin'" and created a whole new song from them. New media allows people to contribute and change things so that in the end we have the original work and the new work. New media allows for much more creativity and rapid sharing of this new content which is a great thing in this day and age.
