YouTube

Since I discovered the YouTube phenomena,I must say I have become a junkie.I have no clue why I spend literally hours viewing 'stupid' videos from people.I'm glad I have a paying day time job.Well...do I need an intervention...maybe!Anyway I honestly,I think people have found a way of advertising their trade or stupidity-for lack of a better word, through this medium.It is a way of connecting with people-especially socially.Lately I've discovered the Nia phenomenon-the five year old who sings and dances beautifully.Through YouTube-she's gained national recognition and her musical talent is probably on close watch by the music industry whenever she's ready to 'spread her wings.'The entertainment value , the simplicity in navigating the camera, and immediacy of YouTube have all contributed to the popularity of YouTube.
