Creativity

There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish." - Warren G.Bennis

Creativity is the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or  the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations,  etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination. That's how dictionary describes it. To me creativity is when you have the idea what can be done out of the box, being badly trapped in the tiny box.

1+1+1 = 1

In the New York Times' articleDisney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?, we can easily find how new media fosters creativity. New Media has expand the creativity limits to a great extend if we consider the copyright things pointed in this article. Media companies are more tolerant of Internet mash-ups and parodies (like videos in YouTube). Individuals find laissez-faire reaction, while wholesale piracy find themselves in trouble with lawsuits. Creativity gains a route as people can even use copyrighted materials with the use of new media until piracy is tolerable.
