An anthropological introduction to YouTube

Hey guys so this is a video I found on youtube while browsing which basically discusses the effects that youtube has had on social media.  Even though the fact that it is a 55 minute video might turn some of you off to it, it is actually really interesting.  This was actually a presentation that Michael Wesch did at the Library of Congress.  It took us through the beginnings of youtube and the first really viral video(Numa Numa Guy) and showed how it exploded into this whole new world of pop culture created by the viewer.  The world changes every day and most of it is due to sites like youtube or blogger that allow people to share their opinions with up to millions of viewers simultaneously.  This is much different of before in like ten or twenty years ago if you had bad service with a particular airline then you would rant about it to your family and friends so at most about 50 people, but in our day in age you post something like on the internet literally billions of people have access to that rant and it could single handedly destroy a company.  Today it is ever more prevalent that the decisions will be made by the consumer. By the way for reading this article you guys get a special treat.  Its me doing my own rendition of the ever so popular "Numa Numa Dance."
