Youtube: Chad Hurley
HAVING READ THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW, WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF YOUTUBE? SUPPORT YOU ANSWER WITH REFERENCE TO THE TEXT.

The advantages of YouTube are emphasised more than the disadvantages in this interview. Chad Hurley says that it is simple and ‘easy to use, without the need for any special software’. This is clearly a very big advantage of YouTube. I think the greatest advantage is that it is a free service.

In this interview, Chad Hurley also tells us that YouTube is a place where anybody can share anything from videos to concert clips online and ‘ordinary people can be turned into celebrities with an audience of 100 million viewers’. It’s a worldwide form of communication, which connects people from all over the world and allows ‘different cultures to talk to each other’.

There is not much mention of the disadvantages of YouTube in this interview, but there is a disadvantage referred to in Question 4, ‘How do you protect your website from misuse?’ Hurley says that the website has ‘the potential to be dangerous’, and while he doesn’t say much about these dangers, I think this is a very serious disadvantage of YouTube. People can be filmed without their consent by anyone, anywhere, and then unsuitable material of these people can be broadcast to millions on YouTube. Hurley says that unsuitable material can be removed in minutes, but I don’t believe that this happens every time someone is exploited or hurt by material shown on

    Comparison: You Cube Vs. Booub Tube

    According to Garfield, most people create or share video content online because everyone wants to be a movie star and posting home made videos of them self gives them a chance at that. And to give other people a chance to view it. I do agree with it because I think it gives people a chance to feel accepted. Hollywood’s role in video entertainment has changed in that the internet video sites such as you tube are taking over the way people view television. Advertisers are putting their ads on websites to promote their product more often now. “Exploding TV” and “Monkeyvision” are fitting titles for the you tube phenomenon Garfield describes because you tube offers a way to view television without commercials.…

    Does The Internet Make You Dumber By Nicholas Carr Summary

    There are more cons than pros for the Internet. Nicholas Carr has many great pieces of evidence to support his thesis. I agree because the Internet can take you down many wrong paths but at the same time technology is our future. Today people are not focusing on trying to improve our future, they are worried about today’s fashion or video games or celebrities. One of the studies Carr looked at was by Cornell which figured out that web surfing does distract students. This is good information for schools on how to help their students learn in the best way, and stay on track. The neuroscientist named Michael Merzenich made a very dramatic reason what the long-term effects of the Internet. Merzenich said the Internet could lead to death, which could be right but we don’t have any proof at the moment. At the same time, I think the Internet is a great source for information. I wish Carr talked a little about how the Internet also has important information…

    Youtube Informative Speech

    Ted Talks provides effective speeches that leave an impact on an audience due to their comfortable public speakers, and their sophisticated search engines provides them with accurate videos whereas YouTube does not search with effectiveness and does not deliver accurate content. Moreover, Ted Talk possesses educational videos that are positive to the human mind while only a certain few YouTube videos provide their viewers with academic films. Clearly, Ted Talk is a preferable site to search if one is looking for reliability, effectiveness in a variety of ways, capability, education, and sophistication: its ability to generate such an impact on others in a minimal amount of time is what separates Ted Talk to YouTube. Not only can Ted Talk’s viewers benefit online from the site, but they can also relate these speeches into their daily lives, taking what they discovered from the video and changing their perspective on the world. If one by one others learn to incorporate the ideas they learn from not only Ted Talk, but other idea sharing sites, they can eventually lead the world to a new, fresh outlook on…

    American Social Media Values

    The internet has made it easier to get news and ideas across in an efficient and effective manner. Social media such as Facebook and Twitter has connected millions of people to one each other. It’s a tool has also shaped what is and isn’t socially acceptable anymore. It’s also a tool that makes it easier for opinions and facts to spend. Also it's easier to spark discussion on topics that maybe are considered controversial. With social media, Americans can reach a large amount of people in a short amount of time. According to studies, the average American knows about 200 to 600 people (NYTimes, 2013). Compare that number to someone with thousands of Facebook friends. Most celebrities have millions of followers on many social networking platforms. A large following on social sites means a bigger platform and opportunity for ideas to spread. For example, a person a thousand online friends sharing an article on Facebook. Of course not all those people are going to read the article, but a lot still will. Facebook is a great platform to get points across but there are others who are bigger. YouTube is a great platform to get points across to a large follow with the help of multimedia tools. Videos tends to be more appealing to people than reading. Youtube has become a popular social network over the past decade. Millions of people are able to upload and share videos about anything. YouTube has even become a career for many. The video sharing site has allowed people to discuss topics like abortion, sex, and more. Let's take a YouTuber such as Laci Green for example. She has a large following with about 1,000,000 subscribers. Green also has over 125,000,000 views on YouTube. (Laci Green YouTube, 2015). Laci Green's YouTube channel mostly have content about sex education, and feminism. Her videos aim to educate people about topics that most Americans avoid talking about. Sex Education in schools has been a…
