There is no doubt that new media change our world totally and bring us more creativity and convenience. Today virtual worlds are used in new media and encourage more and more people to be creative. Such as videographers, expert advisors, and musical artists. Moreover, in daily life, the creativity of new media is combined with computers, telephones, the internet, and web 2.0. New media changed the situation that the media were extremely expensive to be owned. Today, it's easy for everyone to enjoy and own new media and even have more creativity in new media. The article of Creators, Audiences, and New Media: Creativity in an Interactive Environment describes the media revolution as "The media emphasis on traditional genres such as print books has limited the examination of the distribution of these works. New media scholarship explores the ways media creation software and online distribution can complicate creativity and provide new avenues for distribution." The most benefit of the media revolution is that it gives people creativity and convenience.
The convenience of new media encourages more people to participate in the creativity of new media because today's computers and cellphones are easier to use. Here is an example of my daily life, I usually subscribe to many channels that post much daily life vlogs on YouTube. These vlogs are short and interesting. The article YouTube Traffic Characterization analysis global YouTube characteristics and they found that "short duration videos are more likely to be popular". This is a trend of vlogs and video record, and these characteristics attribute more user's willing on new media because it's easier to edit and has less time cost.
