Seriously- do you think it's changing things?

I definately think that Youtube is the future of entertaiment, editorials, and news. Without youtube, there are so many music videos and AMVs and such that I know I wouldn't have seen.

As somebody who is stuck on dial-up, i'd have to say that it's made message boards really irritating... hate waiting for a page to load, only to find out that it's just a youtube link and a laughing smiley.

i have hi speed so i will take a video before reading any day though i can read much faster. There is just more substance in voice. yes i think this is the only place we will get good news and that is if we pass it around as the press is bought and paid for now days. google video i think rocks even better and this is good advertisement for videos but some of the 911 stuff on google are coming up on 70,000 views and since they are documentaries about all the issues and problems with the goverment and coverups and what nots i would say that type of vid will have more to do with promoting change over all.

If that song is any indication of the future to come, any change will be for the worse.

More of our youth are online than ever before. If this is the way to give them an awareness of the world around them, then I am all for it. With online searches, I see them getting a more varied point of view and a way for them to make up their own minds about what is going on in the world today.

Public broadcasting is becoming more biased, as time goes on. I have the opportunity to get other points of view online, than in the media (TV or newspaper).

I don't really use youtube much. It seems like the teeny boppers like to fill it up. But I watch google video alot, because I find alot of documentaries on there, and there is never any load congestion.
To expand from youtube and video in general. Almost everything I do on a regular day is based around the internet.

1. News.
2. Work.
3. Entertainment(what used to be TV and Radio, still listen to radio but streamed, and don't even have cable now there is no point for what I want to watch).
4. Most communication(work and social)
5 Regular phone line is just a apparatus that routes calls over the internet to other land lines.
6. Shopping (I buy most item purchases on-line, except clothes, and food. They did a study and it's actually uses less fuel and energy overall to order online than go to the store, so it's good for the environment to, and almost universally cheaper)
7. Learning. (If I want to learn anything, I don't even think of books first anymore that is like a last resort).
8. Finances.

Really the only aspect that doesn't interact with the internet in one way or another is social things. And that even to some degree occurs online. Chat, message boards.

Basicly unless, I physically go somewhere or talk to a "real" person standing next to me, it is involving the internet one way or another.
