'Anti-Star/The Internet'

It's interesting to hear about how YouTube is being used to create popularity off of people by posting up video, consisting of short, but awesome concepts, to something as long as a guitar cover. I personally do that myself… but more for the joy and fun of expressing myself: through guitar covers, to originals, to just making a random video from time to time.

Like a TV star, who we would watch in admiration for their acting skills, and believing they're more real than life, YouTube is that one place anyone can come up with an idea, and have an equal opportunity to create something that can appear to anyone around the world.

So… in a way, I can see YouTube as another place to go to to help express one’s ideas to the public without it being constricted, or having any sort of requirement (that is, unless you wanted the attention from the audience).

It can be a great way for low-budget people, like us, to express something without the worries of money. Have an idea? Post it up on YouTube; show your friends. It’s a great atmosphere for even the young and talented to be taken notice of.

With the next article on Google, it shows of how reliant we are to the internet. Slowly we're becoming more and more dependent on it, requesting the information we need RIGHT NOW!! Because of this, our horizon for discovering information has changed since long ago. It's a resourceful tool, but at the same time, it changes the sunset we see when trying to look for that information.

For me, I used to mind not reading, and that was because I committed to read for a such and such time everyday during 2 summers ago. But now, due to time and such, I'm having troubles concentrating. It's because I'm hoping to see the end, instead of taking in the story. I'm not saying I DON'T enjoy reading something I wouldn't mind reading, but at times, due to how I learn from books, has effected me with my own personal reading.


That's all I can say.
