Most of the YouTube videos from the presidential election were straight from the debates. I did not come across any videos that looked like ads but rather organic. These two candidates were not trying to sell anything as they debated. Most of the videos were debates between the two about various world issues. The videos were taken straight from CBS and other news channels. These videos were not amateur since they were taken right off the television. These videos were not tampered with in any way making them polished videos.
Many people throughout the world voiced their opinions about the election in a more amateur way. These people had a camera on their computers and just spoke about the debates. These videos were user-generated political videos and were more convincing to me. I felt I could relate to these videos more as they were simplified. Many times, when watching the two candidates debate, I find myself lost in the translation of what the two are arguing for or against. These people could analyze the debate and take their time rather than responding without any time.
Many of the arguments formulated in Millennial Makeover are built on generational theory, and the authors make much generalization about the philosophy, preferences, and cultural touchstones of my generation. I agree that my generation relies on internet and continues to grow in this direction. I would call my generation the “Internet bums” because that is all we do now. It has become a way of life rather than informative. We can get our information a lot faster than the past. Our generation is caught up in the popular shows and music as we see the top rated videos first. Even iTunes lists the top songs each day.
Here are some of the videos I watched on YouTube for my blog:
