an anthropological introduction to you tube

Today I watched The You Tube video “An Anthropological Introduction to You Tube” Wesch talks about the popularity of You Tube. It talks about how the three guys decided to make you tube and they’re first video. He says that web links everybody mainly people. Also he communicated with somebody from Africa to put a video onto the page he was making. He is a teacher and has about 10 students. In classes they’ll talk about You Tube. Surprisingly 35+ men and women are the ones that upload videos the most. He shows “Charlie bit my finger”, which is a baby who has the coolest accent ever. Then about the song “Soulja Boy” and shows how quickly people all over the world watch these videos, and then make remixes to the videos. Also people about web cams, and when you talk you’re sizing up the context and you don’t know when you’re getting watched. Mike then talks about vlogs, which are video blogs. I noticed how people are nervous doing it for the first time. People in the videos were stuttering and did not really know what to say. You Tube has sections of most viewed, top rated, because people will try to be stars of You Tube. There are so many different types of videos on You Tube, you can look up anything and most likely they will have a video about it. Whatever you can think of, You Tube will have it. You Tube has brought the world together, people communicate and comment videos from Japan, Korea, and Africa. I know I always talk about this, but I still can’t believe how far we have come and how far the internet has come. I think it is safe to say that we would be so lost if we didn’t have the internet and you tube. I’ve always been a big fan of you tube, I’ve posted several videos on it I just wish I could remember the links. There is always something funny to watch on you tube. I love the crazy Indian videos of Romulus and Edgar. I can always rely on you tube to brighten my day.
