Where should I even begin with the topic of YouTube?! First of all, I think it is a wonderful thing. It has opened the doors to different cultures and experiences and given billions of people around the world something to do when they are bored. YouTube became an instant hit. People of all kinds make videos and post them on the internet in hopes that it will become a top-viewed video. Everyone wants their fifteen minutes of fame! There was even an episode of the Tyra Show that aired about a year ago that dealt with some of the most popular YouTube video stars. It is crazy to think that millions of people watch a video that has absolutely no objective or goal other than to entertain and laugh. But some people may disagree with this. As YouTube has become more and more popular, educational videos and music videos have become a large part of the network. YouTube can now be used in school to show the history of jazz or punk or can be viewed by teenagers looking for the latest hit song. In turn, they can record their own personal remix and post it on YouTube for others to view.
Yes. I believe YouTube is a good thing. But sometimes, people can take it too far. The idiotic people that do grose and dangerous things just to be put on YouTube and get "famous" for a short period of time, bring a negative aspect of YouTube to light. When people start finding ways to set themselves apart from everyone else by doing dumb things that may harm themselves or others, attention must be paid and the madness must be stopped.
