Reflections (Week 14)
Most of us would be familiar with Youtube, a video-sharing service that allows users to upload their videos online.
In the last EIR lesson, we had a group and class discussion relating to Youtube.
I feel that YouTube plays a major role in my life, in terms of entertainment. I use YouTube to watch interesting videos for entertainment purposes, and for taking a break from the stresses from schoolwork.
I feel that it is also an interactive community as it promotes discussion in the online community through comments on the different videos that are uploaded onto YouTube. Often, I enjoy reading the comments given by other users on the videos that I watch.
However, I feel that I can live even without YouTube, as it only serves as an entertainment purpose.
YouTube can be used for research purposes as there are many different types of videos available online and can be used to substantiate my points in any of my projects. For my research topic about the impact of foreign talent in Singapore, there are also a number of videos out there that reflects this issue, and I can use these videos to get a better understanding of my research topic.
Success in EIR! ;
