“Environments supporting mass collaboration and social production such as annotated collections (GenBank), media sharing (Flickr, YouTube), wikis (Wikipedia), folksonomies (del.icio.us), and virtual worlds (Second Life) are other examples of social creativity. The diverse and collective stock of scientific content and artistic or stylistic ideas that individuals and communities share, re-interpret, and use as a basis for new ideas and visions constitutes the vital source of invention and creativity.”
(Fischer, G. and Giaccardi, E. (2007) Sustaining Social Creativity, Communications of the ACM, 50:12, pp. 28-29.)

- This quote is quite positive. Just like my feeling towards youtube. Youtube encourage many creative productions. It is a platform for gathering creative videos. We can find how creative the people are. And this became a culture of putting video online throughout the world.
yea yea alison!!!can't agree anymore! creativity is all about give and take.Just like when we put some artworks which is inspired by someone, others can get inspired from it and make another new artwork.
ReplyDeleteTo ching,
ReplyDeleteSure! That's why we can see many videos which make use of the original and make something new on youtube. Some of them even got a higher rating than the original one!
