I think it may be more effective for us to focus on the indirect ways in which youtube can help us learn and contribute to society rather than focusing on how it directly teaches us. Several video bloggers that I personally have learned a lot from started out on the site, and while I never actually watched them on youtube, it served as a launching point for them to make interesting and educational commentary on the Internet.

A few things bothered me about this video. 1: What's wrong with a predisposition to shiny objects? Author seemed pretty condescending on that topic. If that's an audience you want to convert, learn to talk to them and not down to them. 2: Text was moving way too fast. You'd need to keep flashing shiny objects near the bottom to keep me on track.

This is pretty cool, in that it shows the limitations of youtube and image culture perfectly - while 'reading' your video, I thought: damn, do you have a transcript somewhere? So maybe Adorno is right: Images cannot transport critical though (Postman said that was well, but Adorno is the more consistent thinker).

TOUR # 1: EDUCATION. Maia plays with the destablization of the aural/visual binary by using her well-written words in a self-consciously "bad" video (it rolls too fast; it has no images) to illustrate the decline of the word on YouTube, and yet, how we still rely upon and need words, in long-form, within higher education. See aljean at wordpress dot com for more, or join the tour with your comments or video response. Be sure to label it as part of TOUR #1.

Your strategy of a rolling text with gentle music is a good fr=irst step towards expressing your complex thought on/about Youtube. I want you to think video now, this one moves too fast, is too dense, what could you say with images and sounds instead of or in addition to text?
