Creativity and New Media

Hi have created an account in second life. My avatar's name is Carinne6 and she kinda looks like me as well. If to be honest, I didn't really know what virtual worlds were before this class. I felt like a little girl the first time I logged in. I mainly flow around the island enjoying the fact that I can fly. Since I downloaded second Life to my computer I will continue to discover the Island with Carinne6!

    You are able to fly in the second life, and that is they beauty of it. Because we won't able to experience a lot of things in our real life, but we are able to experience it in second life. And it is fan to discover different places in second life.

    This second life is kind of weird to me but definitely is awesome just to play around with and kill some time on. The interface is quite responsive and I can see why individuals who play these kinds of games on a regular basis get addicted!

I would suggest to create a new social media that would be called “My Hood”. The idea is to connect people that live in the same area together, and share information about the different facilities that area has to offer. Part of the steps of creating a profile there will be an option of “search distance”. The search distance will be from 1 mile to 200+ miles and the user could decide how to filter it. Once one sets the search distance he/she will automatically connect to the people in that radius. Meaning the social media will be location base and not the regular way where one needs to search for people in order to connect. Once one is connected to their hood page they could start to contribute and see all posts that other published on the page. Users could post any information about the area that could be useful for another user such as; new restaurants, clothing shop is having a good sale, bar burned down (happened a few months ago in my neighborhood) and more.

Mashups are considered to be under the New Media umbrella. Mashups are websites or web applications that are created from two or more different sources. Mashup is the combination of content that one takes from two or more sources, mixes it up and forms a new product/service that is represented in a creative way. Mashup fosters creativity because there are no limitations on where the creation needs to come from or where it needs to go to. For instance, if I want to create a mashup using Britney Spears song “Hit me baby one more time” and Mozart’s music, I can use Britney’s lyrics with Mozart’s music or I can take Mozart’s music mix it with some of Britney’s music in between or perhaps I can change Mozart’s music a bit- add drums and change Britney’s voice. There are so many options when it comes to creating a mashup and no rules and that why is fosters creativity. In 2007, YouTube users created mashups where Walt Disney’s characters were represented as rap starts. The videos became a
