YoutTube: Showing the World What is Out There
Being able to access a video from any computer, anywhere. Not needing a password or code to see them, and being able to watch tv, cartoons, music videos, etc is what YouTube presents to the modern media watcher. YouTube is an online site where anyone can post videos for people to watch. Children, musicians, and school projects, the videos range from anything to everything. There is no way to describe the different types of videos on the YouTube site, besides that most of the videos seem to deal with comedy. The basis of YouTube is to share videos with the public. When you go to the YouTube site videos are on the home page, constantly changing and showing you what people are watching. The search bar at the top of the page lets you search for every video that is uploaded to the YouTube site. Or you can click on the one of the videos that are up on the home page or you can continue further into YouTube and browse to find a video that is just for you. Diving deeper into the seemingly never-ending videos, you can click on four other sections that narrow down your video search. This especially helps if you do not know what you want to watch. Clicking on videos, categories, channels or community leads you into more videos then you could ever imagine. Also separated by category like top rated, and most played, the many videos on YouTube lead you into a video watching frenzy that seems to never end. Being one of many that have an YouTube account which lets you up load videos, add them to you page, subscribe to other users, have YouTube friends, message people and share your videos with the public of YouTube. I enjoy what I have seen on YouTube so far. And as I sit at my desk and go through ten videos I look up at the clock and realized I should have been doing work for the last twenty minutes instead of aimlessly browsing videos about Hollister Hills State Vehicle Recreation Area and videos about trucks that have meet their demise at this park. YouTube adds to the entertainment value of the modern media watcher. It lets people express them selves in the comfort of their own home, yet share it with anyone who cares to watch. Also its lets people share information and knowledge about the world around them. For example the channel broadcasts about events that are happening and what is going on related to their specific channel. There are some amazing videos of people in trucks, boats, and planes that no one would see if there were not placed on YouTube. YouTube is like books five hundred years ago with out it knowledge about the world and what is out there would not exist and no one would know what is out there or what has been accomplished.
