YouTube vs. TV

YouTube has content for everyone. For example, there are many YouTuber's that post vlogs (blogs in video form), comedic skits, pranks, tutorials, DIY's, just to name a few! YouTube has provided us all with content that we wouldn't be able to find elsewhere. I think we can all attest that YouTube is great, but is it better than TV? I will be researching this topic from an economical, technological, and educational perspective. I'll also be discussing about the positive/negative effects and impact YouTube has on society.

    Interesting topic to talk about - would love to read your paper in its entirety after its finished. I think YouTube just came out with YouTube TV also, so that could be an interesting thing to talk about since it eliminates the idea of having a cable-box while being able to watch live TV anywhere you want. I love YouTube personally; I go on everyday and look at the top trending videos as a way of getting some of my news for that day.

    This topic is very interesting. I think cable TV has been used less and less ever since Netflix and Youtube gained popularity. I think people prefer Netflix and Youtube because of the ability to "binge" watch many shows and almost no commercials. (Other than the ads on Youtube). I use Netflix and Youtube on a daily basis and don't have cable personally.

    This is really cool. I think that YouTube allows for people to tailor and generate what content they are interested in seeing right on the spot which allows for its dominance in media and streaming. They are also releasing YouTube exclusive programming which I'm not sure will do so well. I feel like people love original, user-generated content which makes it so successful. I don't think they're really going on YouTube for shows. There's Netflix for that.

Next New

A new media that doesn't exist yet.. maybe McGraw Hill Connect mobile app.. that actually works. Currently the McGraw Hill Connect mobile app doesn't allow students to read or do assignments on their phone. As a student, I'm always on the go and sometimes when your traveling you find opportunities where you can read or answer a few homework questions to keep busy. Their current app does nothing.

Advice

If I was hired by Baruch College to improve the college by using new media, I would implement the use of Reddit. Reddit users create forums where they can ask a question or start a discussion on a specific topic. Anyone from anywhere can answer and other people can up vote or down vote your comment. I think it would be a great idea for Baruch to have an account where students can ask questions and have it answered by other Baruch students.

Creativity

YouTube is a new media that fosters creativity. YouTube allows anyone from anywhere to share content that may be interesting for others to view. To gain subscribers, YouTubers usually want to be different and stand out which forces them to be creative.  According to the paper “YouTube Traffic Characterization: A View From the Edge”, it states “Instead of consuming content posted by a single administrator, users are now able to post their own content and view content posted by their peers.” I myself am a big fan of YouTube because of this. I love the fact that I can find and enjoy relatable content that isn’t on TV.
