This summer I've discovered the addicting wonders of YouTube. Ever since I was introduced by a friend to the channel of Julian Smith (juliansmith87), the possibilities have been endless! I mean, where else can you find hilarious sketches, random music videos, and ultimately entertaining stupidity? It is the perfect cable box. Entirely free and there is always something on.
Recently, I have discovered the emging world of vlogging - or video blogging. Despite their short length (usually 3-5 mintues), most of the popular "vloggers" are engaging and entertaining! Most of them talk about random moments in their own lives and some even speak off the top of their heads. Sure, you may be thinking, "Why would I want to know what goes on in the life of some video-nerd?" But believe you me, when you finish watching one, you'll be clicking on the next video under the "Related Videos" tab before you know it. My personal favorite vlogger is Charlie McDonald (charlieissocoollike). Currently, he hails from London, England and really knows how to keep his audience interested and entertained.
And, besides keeping my addicted face adhered to any device with a screen and Internet connection, YouTubers like Julian Smith, Charlie McDonald, and Rhett and Link (RhettandLink), had inspired me to join in with the YouTube community, leading to the making of my first ever video which you can view in the side bar to the left. I was even inspired to attempt to start my own vlog, however, I quickly found out that video blogging was not for me. The amount of time and knowledge needed to properly film and edit something like that was ridiculous - not to mention my lack of experience in front of a camera. I think it is probably best that I stick to a written blog.
Nonetheless, YouTube has become my newest summer hobby. I'll admit it probably is not the best one to be taking up, but it is probably just a phase. Conclusively, YouTube is the best personal TV to ever be created, granted there is some not so appropriate content on there, so be careful when exploring the millions of channels, but it also happens to be an excellent resource for entertainment and fun! And I will confess that as of this summer, I, Kristina, am a YouTube-aholic.
