Youtube? During lessons? Evaluate? That's unexpected.
Before I continue I shall reflect about class test 2 earlier. I didn't study much but I passed. Haha. But when I was going through my mistakes during the test, I somehow learnt some bits and pieces here and there.
From both tests, I start to realise that all 10 lectures are related to one another. Just like website to search for resources, you have to refer to all of them to get a clear and better understanding of the topic.
So back to youtube. Youtube is a video sharing service where the public can watch and share videos with the whole world. It has been a very popular site, due to its free surfing and registration and quick access to view what one wants to watch, from dance tutorials to research materials to president's inaugural ceremony to even online video diaries. It is an amazing site where millions of videos are posted world wide daily. There are competitions like dailymotion.com and metacafe.com, but youtube's user-friendliness and familiarity, as well as reputation, has topped it above its competitors.
The videos posted can be embedded on personal blogs and such, but, however, if the video is removed from youtube, it cannot be retrieved back and the video frame will remain empty.
Also if a user leaves his profile there, it is easy to access by anyone and if he or she is stalked, it is mainly his problem as he is the one who decides to post his information online.
Youtube, surprisingly and unknowingly, until I realised it today, is that it plays a big part of my life. I always access it at least 2 times a day, be it for entertainment like songs or research for projects. It is a very useful site, where people are hooked and it becomes a daily need. Researches can be done on youtube, such as if I were to research on HIV/Aids, there are video clips by professionals, some from television, posted so that the public can watch it again and again, with the ability to rewind and pause it. Also there will be personal videos, such as personal opinion about the topic through video means.
So that's youtube for you. You jus have to visit it when you get on the internet.
