It just like a online television that broadcast everyday events.
We can be our own director, we can film down funny daily events, we can also record behaviors and speech of others.
On YouTube, we can know events happened on the other side of world. As a fans of soccer, I always watch reply and highlight of football matches on it. Also, it ca locate you country and search the popular video in your community. Some popular clips can be spread out as fast as you cannot image. Some of them even can spread over seas and lands.
However, one thing is important, because we can easily film down others by or smart phone and share it to the world instantly, our public behaviors may easily record down by others. So, be-careful of the things you did and the word you said.. One day you may find yourself on YouTube!!
Hi Hin: I think YouTube is fascinating! If you're interested in 'YouTube culture' then take a look at the videos by Michael Wesch (a cyber-ethnographer!) You can find his channel here.
ReplyDeleteI also think YouTube is a great invention!!!! We are the director to broadcast the thing we're interested.
ReplyDeleteI think not only the privacy issue, but infringing copyright is also very serious on YouTube!!!!! I think as we can be more active, we should be more self-disciplined at the same time, otherwise, YouTube will only be a zone for people to commit crime (maybe so exaggerated :)).
