YouTube is an interesting cultural phenomenon. It is used ranging anywhere from young kids just goofing off to US Senators posting re-election videos. It can be used to watch home made videos or studio productions. Sometimes it's not even used for videos. There are an enormous amount of audio files that are up on YouTube. It's actually quite disturbing when you go to a party and find out the music is being streamed from YouTube.
YouTube isn't all bad though. Some of the videos put up are actually some of the most hilarious clips I've ever watched. The problem though is that anyone with the means to do so can post a video on YouTube. This means that a majority of the videos that make it on to the website are just useless garbage. I never really got into the whole YouTube culture and frankly thought many of the videos I saw were the biggest waste of time.
But the great thing about YouTube is that it does allow people the freedom to say whatever they want whenever they want. It helps people to express their feelings and opinions about anything they want. And as everyone in this country knows, freedom of speech is one thing that seperates the United States from the rest of the world. So is YouTube a positive thing for society? Absolutely. Are there videos that hold no significance in anyone's life? Sure. But sometimes, you just need a good laugh, and YouTube is always good for that.
