I love YouTube - I think that it is amazing that I can revisit many shows from my youth. Who would have thought that you can find original video clips of David Cassidy, Shaun Cassidy, Bay City Rollers, Leif Garret, Andy Gibb, David Essex - hours of laughter ahead! What is also interesting is the quality of the transmission. For example, sometime I like to look at movie trailers - often the quality through the hosted trailer site eg universal, warner bros, summit or apple.com is dubious - jilted, sound out of sync with the picture but usually quality is pretty good with YouTube. I know that YouTube is the scourge of schools - lots of great stuff but only teachers have access to it as the kids just chew through the bandwidth.
I selected two of my favourite examples - the first is very sobering but should be compulsory viewing for Australians (IMHO) - it is called Teenage Affluenza and is a promotion for 40 hour famine in 2007
And now for something more humorous. One of my favourite shows growing up (okay, I lived in the country and we only had two channels) was Sunday afternoon "Banana Splits" and now I feel terribly clever that I have learnt to embed these!
