I heard on the radio that YouTube isn’t even 5 years old yet. It will be in November though. It seems like it has been around for much longer than that. It certainly has made a major impact on millions of people. You can access such a variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging along with short original videos. And all of this is free, you just gotta love that.
Once I discovered all that you can experience on YouTube.com and started composing my “Favorites” list, it didn’t take long to get up to triple digits which can be time consuming and a good amount of them are stating that they aren’t available any longer, that really bites. But all in all YouTube.com is awesome and I can’t imagine computer life without it there, along for the ride.
I have a good friend Donna who moved over to the U.K. years ago. We keep in constant contact with emails, Face Book, IMing and cell phones, I’m so grateful for all of today’s technology that is making it easier to keep in touch with so many people in so many ways, it is so enriching all the way around.
Anyway Donna on occasion will send me a picture or a joke along with her emails, but she has never sent me a video before and we decided that it was time to try and attempt it. So she went onto YouTube.com and found this video featuring Digby Jones and got it to me with the first try. It can be a bit overwhelming learning some things on the computer, especially when you are on your own and have no one close by to ask for help. She lost her husband over 5 years ago and is still on her own, but she is doing pretty well all things considered.
