New media fosters creativity by allowing people to create and share content without much skill. In the past in order for one to compose a song and have an audience to listen to it they had to study music and learn how to play an instrument. In the New Yorker article 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 new media allows anyone to create a song without even playing an instrument. Software called DAWs (digital audio workstations) allows people to create music with existing songs. In the New Yorker article people create songs called “mashups” which are two different songs layered on top of each other to create a new song. You don’t need to be a musical genius to create a mashup.
