HW Creativity

In the article, “Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Follower,” It talks about how you can get a bunch of users interacting. Why is this good? Well, twitter is part of the innovation of new media. It helps foster creativity. For example, imagine a kid in high school who is shy and afraid to put himself out there. Twitter can help him speak his mind, share his thoughts, interact with other users and finally feel connected and establish a sense of belonging rather than be alone in his room with no one to talk to.

The article, “Creators, Audiences, and New Media: Creativity in an Interactive Environment,” talks about how new media environment changed the traditional creator and audience roles, as boundaries are being crossed. For example, a creator may create something inspired by his audience, and his audience may use what he made/created in one of their own personal innovations. This is what the author means when he says that boundaries are being crossed. New media fosters creativity because the internet and digital technologies are so easy to use, that as a result, more and more people are taking part in this digital revolution and sharing their ideas and thoughts with the world.

NBA All star game is unwatchable - by Orr Shalom

It used to be fun to watch the all time NBA greats compete with one another during the all star game, each player  giving its all for pride and honor due to their competitive nature. Now, the all star game has turned Into a joke. The fans pay money to see competition. During the 2017 All star game, players had no interest in playing defense. The competition was at an all time low. However, there were a lot of smiles and laughs, but the fans are here to watch a close, competitive game. We are fortunate enough to have an era of incredible basketball players such as Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Paul George, James Harden, and others.
