YouTube

The emergence of Youtube has changed our medium of entertainment from the television to the computer.In the past,people had to watch the television to catch their favourite drama serials but now we can just go to Youtube to be able to catch our favourite drama.Even we were busy the day before and missed the episode that was telecast on that day,we can now just watch it simply by searching for that specific episode.Moreover,as most homes now have at least one computer,more and more people are able to gain access to Youtube and their favourite drama serials easily.In other words,Youtube has provided a much more convenient medium as we will be able to watch whenever we have the time and still not miss out on much.

Although there are some complaints about the ethics of Youtube in the media industry,I beg to differ because as soon as the administration staff of Youtube gets information from one of their users that a particular video is copyrighted,they will immediately get rid of it.Thus,I think that Youtube have done their best in keeping Youtube as ethical as possible and some of the responsibility have to play their part in keeping Youtube ethical by not posting copyrighted videos.However,we have to also understand that the administration staff of Youtube will need some time to get rid of copyrighted videos as data shows that as many as 65,000 new videos are uploaded to the site everyday.Thus,the concerned content creaters have to be patient and give the administration staff some time to get rid of the particular video.
