Micheal Wesch is an anthropologist and his constant study of ‘YouTube’ has produced a 55.33 min presentation (presented at the Library of Congress 28th June 2008) and it’s well worth watching.
As an orthographical study of human behavior, we see how we interact with ourselves, friends, strangers and a camera (using computers, technology and a lot of imagination). This film shows you the emotional and touching, experiential side of what YouTube and other social networks has empowered us to do.. its great stuff.
It joins many things for me, connection, cultural values, human behaviour.
He was also responsible Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us which at the time of posting had 7,170,506 views.. pretty impressive and also captivating to watch.
