Week 15


Remix Culture:
When I hear “Remix Culture” I mainly think of the recent change in the music culture, with the large transition to using the works of others to create something new or entirely different.

I think the biggest consequence of the remix culture is it is hard to determine who is the real creator of a work and who gets credit or recognition for their creativity. It hard to determine the point where the new author has changed the original work enough to create something entirely different, versus if they are just stealing someone else’s idea. 

The remix culture is affecting innovation because people are creating less original works and are basing their works on something that has already been created.  I think this is creating a different type of innovation as the culture in our society changes.  Especially with the switch to the digital realm, the increased availability of creative works and use of new tools for innovation.
