The Anthropology of Youtube

I've been very interested in the culture phenomena of the internet, particularly the community aspects that have been created through the web, and the implications it has for the world and people in general. Why it allows us to be have a degree of freedom unseen before in social expression, but also to remove social constraints of appearance, color, manner of speech, and even language and geographical barriers. It is the subject of so much development linking everyone with a computer to the digital revolution that has given us so much to look forward to.

I present a very interesting lecture from an anthropology professor and the work he has done. I was impressed with the video that he created before addressing digital text etc., and I'm quite happy to see that he had a whole lot more to say on the subject. It's such a fascinating subject. Do I see a video blog in my future? Probably not...
