Creativity

One of the big reasons why new media promotes creativity is that it helps us to handle information that leads to our thinking process. Social networking websites provide users a platform where they can share their ideas openly without any fear. Due to this, companies and other users are benefitted by the supply of different ideas every moment. In connection to this, Claire Cain Miller in the article ‘Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Followers’ tells that many companies have considered and even agreed to the ideas suggested to their business from consumers. This is also known as user-generated innovations. In the similar article, it is also mentioned that twitter, a famous social networking website, was not confident in using the hash-tag “#” on first place, which was suggested by one of the users. However, as that trend got popular and almost every other user started using it, hash-tag became one of the symbols of twitter (official feature). Interestingly, users of other social networking website like Facebook have started using the same trend of hash-tags. As every other person has access to smart phone, laptop or internet device, they can share their ideas and innovations to general public without being a professional.
