New media fosters creativity because it allows users to collaborate and cooperate with one another. According to the article, Twitter Serves Up Ideas for Followers, hashtags are used in a creative method to attract users who share a common interest. Via new media, users are able to piggyback off of one another. For example, through YouTube, users can learn and design their own products based on how others did it. There are various tutorial videos. In addition, creative people are awarded by going viral. Through the power of youtube and other social media platforms, a creative mind can make a great standard of living.
I believe the next new media will be a US government regulated digital currency. This does not currently exist. It will be something similar to Bitcoin. Bitcoin surpassing $10,000 shows that digital currency is in demand. Japan as a nation is already very accepting of digital currency. Japan is home to bitFlyer which is the world's largest market exchange for Bitcoin. Digital currency lowers transaction costs and makes payments at any time very appealing. Paper based currency as well as physical coins are being used less and less every year. According to creditcard.com, " In a 2016 survey, payment processor TSYS asked over 1,000 consumers which payment form they prefer. Forty percent chose credit cards, while 35 percent selected debit cards, and only 11 percent specified a preference for using cash."
