week 9: #20 discover youtube

What was it Andy Warhol said about everyone getting 15 minutes of fame? What seemed impossible when Warhol made his statement is now possible with youtube. Being an animal lover, I began at those sites, and many of them made me laugh. But so much of youtube is unfiltered, seemignly w/o peer review. Children can watch an addict shoot up heroine, or view a graphic sex. These things have always gone on, only now this filth can invade the home and into the formely innocent minds of children. Talking cats, or an execution are all the same on youtube.

As far as the library goes, go for it. Join the rest of the world. Its a good way to put forth another point of view.
