The You Tube video “An Anthropological Introduction to You Tube: by Mike Wesch talks about the popularity of You Tube. Mike says that people view You Tube more than the TV network NBC. There is a video of this popular song that people enjoy in one country, and then people in Korea or Japan animate the song. He says that web links everybody mainly people. Also he communicated with somebody from Africa to put a video onto the page he was making. He is a teacher and has about 10 students. In classes they’ll talk about You Tube. Surprisingly 35+ men and women are the ones that upload videos the most. He shows “Charlie bit my finger”, which is a baby who has the coolest accent ever. Lol! Then about the song “Soulja Boy”, and shows how quickly people all over the world watch these videos, and then make remixes to the videos. Also people about web cams, and when you talk you’re sizing up the context and you don’t know when you’re getting watched. Mike then talks about vlogs, which are video blogs. I noticed how people are nervous doing it for the first time. People in the videos were stuttering and did not really know what to say. You Tube has sections of most viewed, top rated, because people will try to be stars of You Tube. There are so many different types of videos on You Tube, you can look up anything and most likely they will have a video about it. Whatever you can think of, You Tube will have it. You Tube has brought the world together, people communicate and comment videos from Japan, Korea, Africa. Its awesome to me how people can communicate with each other from all over the world. This man credits You Tube for bringing his life back, and You Tube has helped people a lot. If you are ever sad, you can watch “Charlie Bit My Finger”, and I’m definitely positive that it will make you smile. I have my own You Tube video that me and my friends made, and I’ll look at videos of all different things. Sports, hunting, funny videos is what I’ll mainly look at. It is amazing how so many different ideas from the world come onto one website

Man you must have watched the video like twice if you wrote what you wrote. It's good man this blog was good. It was way better than mine in my opinion and I felt you understood the video real well. Also you talked about how a older range of men and women upload the most videos. That just seems insane man and that thing that people make remixes of other videos was well done. Jesse you wrote a good blog on this video and really understood it and just keep doing the same things you have been doing because you know what you are doing man.
