I think that YouTube is a great web site and is a tremendous help when trying to find videos for school. I do agree with the posts below and that some people are too obsessed with it and spend most their day YouTubing. But I also think that most people spend most their time doing pointless things anyway whether its watching TV, playing computer games, or playing video games. When I am unsure of a topic for an assignment I always look it up on YouTube or Wikipedia to get a better idea of what the topic is about. In school projects or power point presentations I use YouTube to post examples of the topic I am doing. I also get clips from movies of YouTube so I don’t have to go out and buy the DVD. YouTube’s movie clips also help me because then I don’t have to take time out of my presentation to find the chapter on the DVD just to get my point across. Reading the post right below mine about YouTube charging to use there website annoys me. If they are just charging for movies on the website that is understandable but I really hope that they don't start charging for just using the website or having to be a member to use it. That will just be like the whole Napster thing and I don’t feel as though it is stealing at all. YouTube is a great way of being heard whether you have a video or just have something that you want to express.
