Youtube.

Youtube is among the likes of google, amazon, and other great internet tools. Youtube has changed how people express themselves. Anyone these days can upload a short video off of almost any recording device and become a "Youtube Sensation." All in all, I seem to think its a pretty cool tool. It keeps us from being bored while surfing the web, and can serve as a great search engine if your looking for specific music or film clips. I notice that even professors (Right, Phil?) use it as part of their lectures to help students relate to specific ideas and concepts.

Along with Youtube comes another problem though- should everyone have that power? Some of the vidoes I see are completely dumb and pointless these days, even offensive in some cases. Since there is no way to moderate it, I don't really use it anymore. I'm old school, I miss the days of landlines and green screen phones.
