Streaming video has changed the way we view media. The TV and movies are no longer the most popular form of media. When I hear about a new movie and want to see the preview, I don't wait until the commercial come on TV. I go find it on the internet to view it. This is a great advantage form companies or people to get their messages out to more people.

Posting video on sites like youtube spreads the word. It gets the info out and allows you to voice your opinion just short of a television. Really i use the site to see things on real tv that i didnt get to watch. Music videos, commercials dances clubs cars etc. If its something that needs to be seen go to youtube. Almost like saying google something. Now you can Youtube it.

YouTube has revolutionized the industry because you can find anything on YouTube and learn so many different things. Full tutorials on almost anything. All information should be accessible to the public so we can educate ourselves in every way possible.

Sites such as those has changed lots of things since you can basically put anything out there that you want. From news, shows and your own blogs. Its easy to access anything you want now to gather the data that you seek.

streaming video has become a major platform on the internet. older forms of media such as prints and even television is becoming a thing of the past. honestly, we've become more lazy-er just sitting in front of the computer. advantages are...i guess mostly everything is quick access nowadays.

Youtube and video sites like it have become a major part of the internet in the past few years. I think youtube is an amazing place, simply for the fact that anyone can post anything they want in order to let others see it. I really think youtube can be a great place to voice your opinion.

Being able to stream video has greatly changed the internet. People can voice there opinion whenever they want. YouTube and other video sites have channels. Most people who have channels just rant about a particular topic and become famous on those sites. I can't remember his name, but there is a guy right now who has been video blogging about Brittney Spears. He has been on TV because of his rants. He may not be popular or liked, but he is famous. Also you can find anything on TV on YouTube. So if you see something on TV or missed somthing, you can find it on YouTube. People stream anything on YouTube. I use it to my advantage by not having to watch sporting events, or pay-per-views. While it is good to watch events live, sometimes it is not worth the money. So why not just YouTube it.

Video streaming has enabled us to no longer be slaves to when networks want us to see things. Tivo and DVRs were the first steps toward this, but now more so than ever we can choose when and what we want to watch. I would image in the next year or so you will see network television companies offering thier own digital streaming content as they try to get their audience back to keep their paid advertisers happy.

This new way of viewing the televised world has changed many aspects in the way we argue. No longer do you have to base your arguments on past memories, you can now prove it instantly with a click of the mouse. But even though we can fast forward and even down right edit commercials out, one thing I have noticed, mainly with my kids, is a lack of patience. When we do have to watch a show with commercials, they get easily frustrated and sometimes even lose interest because they are not use to having to sit through commercials.

People can now let everyone in the world know things about the poster, and especially know more info than they did before. Before computers were really a hit, it took forever to your thoughts to the rest of the world, but now with broadband you can easily find what you need and when you need it. People can be smarter today because of the vast information right at their fingertips.

OMG! youtube is the wave of the future, as well as the others that have tried to copy its format. From music artist to the latest current events. you can never miss a moment. You just have to make sure you catch it before it gets removed. Stuff like Beyonce' tumbling down a flight of stairs, president bush being caught off guard when trying to think of an answer to a question.

The birth of you tube has given us all a way to veiw media such as commercaial, funny clips music a,and gives us all something to talk about.The oNLY thing that I dont like about youtube is that there alot of really stupid videos that really dont make much sense an poor quality.

This has definitely changed the way we see media. It makes it so much easier to go and see visually a topic you might be researching or interested in quickly, verses just going and reading about it. Its a lot more effective I believe.
