      Ok, this is the second time I'm typing these. I do not like this at all but here ir goes. I get that the kitten is adorable, but why video it for so long? More importantly, why are we watching it? At least the Numa Numa guy is funny.

        Most of us have a desire to create. To make something, design something, to leave a mark, to matter. For me, it is writing. YouTube allows the every day person to become film makers, thespians, artists by sharing what they create online. I know I never imagined anyone would ever read what I write, after all, I am no Jane Austin. But the desire to write is always there. The same goes for those who want to sing, dance, act, or make films. They have an outlet for that creativity, and maybe they may even be discovered this way.

When you have one there really is no need for the other anymore. A person can still stay connected with the world if they choose to only have a computer over a television.

        I know that YouTube is popular among college students, but is YouTube really that popular with the older/40+ generations? I'm curious to know what percent of that number (65,000) is made up of college students versus what percent is made up of the older generations.

        I would say it is popular with older generations because my two year old daughter loves to watch a collection of videos of two little boys that are taped by their mother. There are numerous videos of children that are taped by their parents.
    • Until about five minutes ago, remember, almost all video-entertainment content was produced and distributed by Hollywood. Period. That time is over. There was a time when advertisers could count on mass audiences for what Hollywood thought we should be watching on TV. That time is all but over.

        Even though there are more venues to watch a variety of other materials, I don't think that the Hollywood/TV entertainment industries are going to be all that affected. I just think that these new technology pushes are only going to make Hollywood and TV into bigger industries.
      • 

        Gail Ramsey on 2008-04-17

        I think that both industries will find a way to profit from the new medium. I can see them using it as a preliminary run leading to bigger things. They might create a series online to get people hooked on it, research the viewer input, feed it to the writers, and then run a big feature film every now and then to rake in more money. Screenwriters might turn out to be more like editors getting their plotlines from the online viewers.

  I think that the majority of people who create YouTube videos do so in order to "be somebody" and to try and create a name for themselves.

  Just like blogs made writers publishers, YouTube has made all of us film makers and entertainers.

  Most of us have a desire to create. To make something, design something, to leave a mark, to matter. For me, it is writing. YouTube allows the every day person to become film makers, thespians, artists by sharing what they create online. I know I never imagined anyone would ever read what I write, after all, I am no Jane Austin. But the desire to write is always there. The same goes for those who want to sing, dance, act, or make films. They have an outlet for that creativity, and maybe they may even be discovered this way.

  I would say it is popular with older generations because my two year old daughter loves to watch a collection of videos of two little boys that are taped by their mother. There are numerous videos of children that are taped by their parents.

  I know that YouTube is popular among college students, but is YouTube really that popular with the older/40+ generations? I'm curious to know what percent of that number (65,000) is made up of college students versus what percent is made up of the older generations.

  It amazes me to see anybody with a camcorder can record anything they want and put it on You Tube. People love watching other people do ordinary, every day things

  I do not agree. I don't post and I still exist! I don't believe you have to follow everyone and do what everyone else is doing, just to "exist". I can do the same stupid stuff other people are doing, entertaining the people around me without broadcasting it for the world to see.

  I think that both industries will find a way to profit from the new medium. I can see them using it as a preliminary run leading to bigger things. They might create a series online to get people hooked on it, research the viewer input, feed it to the writers, and then run a big feature film every now and then to rake in more money. Screenwriters might turn out to be more like editors getting their plotlines from the online viewers.

  Even though there are more venues to watch a variety of other materials, I don't think that the Hollywood/TV entertainment industries are going to be all that affected. I just think that these new technology pushes are only going to make Hollywood and TV into bigger industries.

  This has to be an exaggeration. I would think that MySpace and Facebook would explode faster than YouTube.

  I could see it growing faster. A funny video will travel via links through email extremely fast. Facebook and MySpace started out mostly with the younger generations. A funny video link hits all generations so YouTube would get more hits.

  I feel like I am always behind the new technological developments. I just learned what YouTube was last summer!

  At first, I thought this was an exaggeration too. But then I thought about it and maybe they were talking about explosion as more of within the last year or so. I know that just recently I have been watching Youtube way more than I did last year, even.

  There really is no difference anymore. We can watch the news, regualr TV, and even movies. It reminds me of cell phones and landline phones. When you have one there really is no need for the other anymore. A person can still stay connected with the world if they choose to only have a computer over a television.

  This is fascinating to think about and I am sure it won't be long before it is reality.

  This is so true. I can see how soon we will have to distinguish between watching TV on the television and TV on the Internet. Now for some shows and chanels we can watch full episodes on the internet.
