Creativity and the benefits

As the internet and video game technology gets better and better, I believe that so does the creativity in the young minds of Americans go up.  The internet has provided us oppurtunities to bootled easier and create some of our work off of others, such as mashups.  Now, some may think that people who do mashups are not being creative because they are just incorparating someone elses work.   However, going through this process makes the creator more specialized in these areas and gives them stragegical analysis skills by putting these together.  I also believe the same goes for video games.  Kids in America who play video games learn how to complete tasks, stick to a goal, and complete missons.  This can be incorparated into real life as we learned in the video in class.  Kids who have these stragitical skills from games are also creative and think outside of the box in many cases.  I agree that these kids who are developing these skills just need to find games that relate to real world problems such as the examples in the movie like alternative fuels.  These class periods have really opened up my eyes to how games can also have more benfits than just pure entertainment.  Although I must say in relation to mashups, I would be pretty pissed if people were stealing my work and benefitting from it.  But I don't have any good work and therefore do not have to worry about it.  Lastly, Stay Frosty my friends.
