YouTube

Throughout the article a series of interesting topics regarding the effect that YouTube has had in society are explored. As stated in the article YouTube is a site that allows us to express our interests and points of views while allowing us to share them with people from around the world. Some utilized this site for entertainment; others use it as a research or a marketing tool.

Personally, the creation of this site has been beneficial for my life. Even though I do not have my own account or download videos I utilized this site for various things such as: viewing music videos, make-up tutorials, to learn new dance moves or find fun work-outs. This site has also helped me understand school material and discover ideas for projects.

This is a zumba video that I like to use  because it is a fun work out and a good way to get in shape. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udVy1orWkVI .

As mentioned above the creation of YouTube lead to a series of positive outcomes, however it also leads to a series of downfalls. Unfortunately, there are people that utilize the site to attract attention by posting violence and harming others with negative comments. An example of this are the six teenage girls in Florida that were accused of beating a 16-year-old girl and recording the attack with the intention of posting it on YouTube.

Even though there are downfalls to YouTube; I believe that it is a valuable tool that can be very beneficial when it is properly used.
