Reflect on Today's YouTube Video

Today we were assigned to watch a very interesting YouTube video. Our teacher was explaining how today in the world mostly everything is made throughout the Internet and made us watch this long but very interesting video. We had to reflect upon this anthropological introduction to the knowing of YouTube. First it gave an actual statistic on how it had more views than any other network in the U.S. Their numbers were amazing and their ratings were way better then television just by doing simple videos on the net. YouTube has expanded its ratings all over the world; anyone can view any video from any place. You Tube has more viewers than the highest rated television network. More interesting facts are that people use it for a variety of reasons regarding YouTube, many people or better said most people use it for comedic and interesting bizarre things that are being recorded using video cameras. It showed how a normal but interesting video made itself famous and viewed all around the world, one example was a guy who came to this country felt very lonely because he had no friends, so he held up a sign while people were walking, the sign said “Free Hugs” and as more and more people say that everybody stopped and gave the man hugs, he started growing popularity and more and more people were spreading this heartwarming movement, people from all over the country started doing this and soon it spread all over the world. Another interesting use of YouTube was the “Vlogs” which basically was a blog but instead of typing you say the blog, more and more people started this and soon became a new experience especially for new users, “it is a awkward feeling talking to a web cam to millions of people, yet, you feel like no one is there” basically YouTube is a whole new generation of technology understanding and bringing people together, so many videos can make you feel so many emotions, YouTube has become the most talked, viewed, and most popular tool on the Internet and in the world.
