Mini Review #5: Viral Videos

I think it's so cool that a single video can become so popular in a matter of weeks, days, or even hours. Viral videos are a big part of media today and have really made an impact on what gets shared over the internet. In my opinion, viral videos influenced such an advancement in technology, as it is an alternative way to show things to many other people at one time. Videos can be used to expose information or stories in an audible and visual way, unlike how radio announcements can only be repeated so many times, and the News is more of a report. Therefor, videos (particularly on YouTube) can be very beneficial to a viewer because they are often less than five minutes, show an aspect of humor, and watchers are now able to comment their opinions on what they see. (Which, they can watch and share as many times as they like). Speaking of "sharing", please enjoy this video of a small child playing with a light saber.
