Creativity is the ability to create useful/new ideas and innovation to reach out to the whole world by using new media network platforms and social media. Creativity in society is increased by adding new sources of information to people, to create, share and publish content. New media fosters creativity in thought through Blogging, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, using digital tools, interacting anonymously online, etc.

Technology has also made digital tools much easier to use, as well as more engaging. How? There are tools that people can use—for example, like free storage and graphic design tools—to help brainstorm with other more easily.
People can open free accounts online and communicate with anyone. For example, with Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, people can be creative and thoughtful without any fears about limiting their creative minds. According to a New York Times article, “Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Followers” by Claire Cain Miller, users on Twitter had difficulty understanding how to address to each other, but now they use the “@“ symbol to refer to each others.
Before, people can be creative and imaginative but they did not have the right media for sharing. But now new media helps a lot for those who are creative to share their ideas and work.
