YouTube: Taking Over the World

So, as everyone with a computer and an internet connection knows, YouTube is taking over the world. Not only is it wildly popular on the internet, but videos from the popular site are often featured on the news as well as in certain TV programs. YouTube is also looking to come to a television near you by making YouTube videos available for viewing on your TV.

Right now, YouTube is being used by college students across the country for a variety of different reasons. Some people are required to upload videos to the site for a class assignment while others are just trying to entertain themselves on a Friday night. While many people use YouTube to catch funny moments that they may have missed from their favorite sitcom or late night talk show, others want to check out the latest music video or see people doing dumb stuff. Politicians are even using YouTube for their own political messages and campaigns in an effort to reach more college-aged voters across America.

Some videos become so popular that they are well-known by students no matter what University you are at. One of the most popular videos at this time is a video of a guy, Nick Pitera singing "A Whole New World". Now, most of you will laugh and say, "Oh, I've seen that," but for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, check it out. I promise, just this one video will get you hooked on YouTube.
