Hi guys!
So, what about YouTube, a mattter which is on everyone's mouth nowadays? First I should say that, luckily, this time I 'm not in front of a completely new too; I watched videos on YouTube many times. However, I must admit I was never concerned with forums which might be opened in YouTube and which contain people's ideas about different videos. Doing the activity we were supposed to, commenting the three videos I realized that YouTube is also an important mean for discussion. I read on wikipedia that in 2006 YouTube was hosting about 6.1. million videos and had about 500.000 user accounts. That's really incredible how an online tool can be shared by a huge number of people, isn't it?
I think that the role of YouTube has increased over the years as it is used for many different purposes, from political propaganda to education, just to mention some of them, and it is not a mere videosharing tool. I 'd rather see it as space where people can express themselves in a freerer way or can show their skills in a particular matter (for example a young boy band). Moreover, YouTube helps people to experiment their abilities in doing videos of every kind. Sometimes the videos may become too exagerated in the sense that too often there are videos concerning young people at school who are abusing of their peers. However, I think that YouTube can be another useful mean for my English language learning. I visited the TeacherTube site and saw that there are some interesting videos on English learning. Unfortunately,as it often happens to me when I'm using YouTube, I could not hear most of the videos because of a buffering problem.
That's it for the moment. Hoping to get more familiar with the matter I'll get you up to date.
