New media is able to foster creativity because it allows one to be self-expressive about what they love doing and what they want to show to the world. Some examples include the use of Facebook, Youtube and Instagram. Youtube has a wide variety of content for viewers to enjoy, which includes, make-up tutorials, make-up product reviews, food adventures, gaming, comedy, video blogs, music playlists, how-to videos, and much more.

With little development to this field, it is hard to imagine a world where we are constantly using this for convenience. However, I believe it is possible to implement the use of virtual reality for other fields, such as education. Some aspects of education that can be implemented is a virtual field trip, where students are able to imagine the environment of being in a different place. This can also be super beneficial for distance learning too because one may like to experience the aspects of learning in a classroom and this can be done through virtual reality. Another application to virtual reality that can be potentially added is the use of exercising environments. Due to the arising pandemic, it has been harder for people to exercise outside or vis...
