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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Wiki So Far

I haven't added any content on Wiki yet but as of right now I would like to contribute to the Marketing wiki as I'm a Marketing major and have learned a thing or two this semester.

Privacy

New media such as Facebook and Instagram have privacy and confidentiality issues. These issues arise when people post too much information about themselves or post an inappropriate photo. People think the delete button will save them but a lot of information can still be surfacing on the web. Having a private account really won't help considering that anyone who is following you on Instagram or friends with you on Facebook can just save and repost your info or pic somewhere else. To avoid issues, people simply need to know what's too much to share and what's just right.
