Youtube is one form of social media I use everyday. Often, my use of this media is just to listen to music while I am traveling somewhere. With an extremely busy week of travel to New Britain, Connecticut I used youtube music for several hours. Beyond using youtube for music only, I remember browsing youtube throughout the majority of my childhood. When I was in elementary and middle school I glorified YouTube as this miraculous source of endless entertainment. Of course, my perception of the media was altered due to parental restrictions. Out of curiosity I searched my name on YouTube to see what would come up and I found some interviews relating to athletics. In relation to a social media audit I had to perform for class it is important to monitor what kind of media is out there regarding myself. In my opinion Youtube is one of the most revolutionary social media sites that has been created because it has allowed for the immediate sharing of videos worldwide. The importance of this is that it can show proof of international events in a pretty timely manner. I would say Youtube is one social media site that will likely stick around for a while but, only time will tell.
