1,000,000,000 people watch YouTube. Are you 1?

Youtube is being watched all over the world by people everywhere. Finally over 1 billion people are watching videos on it. The company started in 2005 it was a small little website where people could share funny videos. now its a billion viewed website where you can watch music videos, funny videos, and maybe the next big thing.

This article was suppose to get you thinking 'how does youtube affect our living today?' but it didn't really do a good job of it. because it was all facts bout how much it makes or how much the company is worth today. the only good hint the article gave me was the amount of people that watch it and it says which countries its most watched in, but thats not very good.

I think youtube has affected our life today by keeping us connected. YouTube is basically the next step to our world connection. like how boats made it possible to travel across seas, or steam trains made it possible to travel across countries faster, cars making it even faster to travel, or like planes keeping the whole world together, and now we internet which has social websites that keep everyone together. YouTube is basically our next step in our social connection trip. with out YouTube the countries who just got democracy would probably still be ruled by a dictatorship.

YouTube brings everyone all around the world not only joy and happiness but also togetherness. It keeps us connected and knowing whats going on around the world faster then we've ever done before.

  1. Do you think social networks in general help us communicate better? Like spreading the message is becoming easier? But do you think in the future will it be harder or easier that everything will be in the internet?

    1. yes nadia like i explained up in the text the "social networks" will help us connect better with the world. because in the past the most connected we were, were phones and to call people in africa will cost money, and a lot of it. And plus on the internet you meet strangers that have the same interests like you such as, tumblr, omegle, and even youtube, and most people wont call complete strangers and ask where they live or their common interests are thats just creepy. using the internet will make it easier to make friends and also school work. normally you would have to go to the library for an hour or so to look up books and articles on a school papper, now you can look it up on google or a search engine in little than 5 mins (depends on how fast your internet is). so all in all the internet is a good place to be even all the social networks keep everyone more connected to countries.
