Best Creation...Ever
Kids now-a-days spend way too much time on one of the best internet creations called Youtube. Youtube hosts millions of videos that people are able to watch at no cost. Putting a video online also costs nothing at all, just a little time and effort. You can find pretty much anything on Youtube, and when I say anything, I mean anything. There are music videos, clips from parts of movies, home made movies, and even political debates. Youtube only sensors pornography and gory acts of violence in movies to make sure that they do not have the bad image of an adult site. In order to see the videos that have brief nudity, you must sign up with Youtube, make an account, and give your birthday so that they know you are old enough to see the more inappropriate videos. The only thing that limits you on Youtube is a time limit on the videos that are put online. The limit is about ten minutes. This was done in order to keep people from putting movies that have not even been released in stores onto the internet and having people watch movies on Youtube rather than buying the movie. This was all done to the satisfaction of those in the movie industry and now we only have a maximum of ten minutes per video. I use Youtube all the time and it’s always brings me a lot of joy and entertainment. You cannot describe the variety of videos on Youtube because there is everything. Every time I go log on to Youtube I find what I am looking for. It is unbelievable how much comes up when you type something in. I could be searching for a song called, “Boom Boom Boom” by the Venga Boys, and I will end up with three friends singing the song in their car with their own spin on it and I will be laughing hysterically on the floor. Youtube is just a Google with videos; you search for something, that something comes up, but so do a thousand other videos that may be related in the slightest bit. I think the best part about Youtube is that it gets some of my friends more addicted than myself. They will spend all their searching for these great videos and I will finish up my homework and BOOM I get to watch a great video. It may take away from many students’s study time, but people have more fun watching Youtube videos over studying for a history exam. In reality Youtube gives students and many others a time of relaxation, serious entertainment, and break from our dull lives.
