I watched a very interesting video on Youtube called “ An Anthropological Introduction to You Tube” by Mike Wesch. This video is not like the other videos on Youtube, this video is about an hour and it talks about important things and things people would want to know. Mike said a couple of important facts that cauhgt my attention, one of the fact were that Youtube produced more viewers in 6 months than more than 3 networks in 60 years. If you tell me thats a lot of viewers, well Youtube is worldwide so it sounds reasonable.Mike made a video the week of the Supernowl and you know how all those commercials make millions of dollars when thier played, well he made a simple home video that didnt cost him anything and made it to be the # 1 video watched that day, well with a little help from his wife because she kept refreshing the video so the views would increase. Youtube can make people famous too, thier was this song that was made by these italians called " Numa Numa " it travel from Italy to Japan, to Japan to California and from California to New Jersey. When it got to New Jersey their was this man that made this video singing this song, they said he just did it cause he liked that song but had no idea this video was going to be a hit and make him famous, well not famous famous but just in Youtube.Another person that became famous was this teen that made up a dance " Crank That Soulja Boy " that dance and song became famous that the kid or teen that did that video now has a record deal and he is making other songs.After seeing this video made me realize that Youtube is a big part of our lives, we search everything on their like from music videos,how to videos, vlogs, and more things that you would want to see and its another way to communicate with family and yet maybe make you famous.I considered this video very informative and entertaining I like Mike's sense of humor.
