Creativity

Digital media is allow people to be connected from all over the world without being in the same room. The advantage of this is that people with similar interest can end up meeting each other on a common site and they can end up coming up with something incredible. For example I have a friend who likes singing and playing the guitar. He sometimes logs onto a live chat room where people log onto share their music and listen to each other. My friend was one day playing a song while a random person was listening and happened to have liked the song. The person asked my friend for permission to record the live session because he wanted to play around with the song and add a different beat onto the background. A couple of days later this kid had remixed the song my friend has being singing and changed it from a slow rock song to a hip party song. This is an easy example of how two people with different talents can be brought together via the internet and create something new and different.

This is a similar story to the one of "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?" where people are meshing sounds to certain clips of cartoons which gives the appearance that the Disney cartoon characters are dancing to the music that is playing in the background. All though most of those videos are simply done for pleasure, the news report of  Antoine Dodson who was being interviewed after someone trying to break into his house is a special case. The interview was seen as comical to many people and when the video went viral many people leaped the opportunity to edit the video with auto-tune making it seem that Antoine was singing. This lead to applications being made for the apple market as well as androids. Antoine was the beneficiary of the creativity of these videos and earn himself a couple of millions as he became a mini celebrity.
