Replying to What Are You Doing On Internet?

i find it interesting how youtube became so popular (then google acquisition)... yet there's other video sharing services out there

agree... tutorials are some of the reasons why i'm using youtube

This is a funny and paradoxal situation. A lot of supposed serious websites are actually used for entertainment. And Youtube, which is known as an entertainment website, is also used by a lot of people for storing very technical tutorials.
That's an example of the free world evolution, you think that something will happen a given way, and free users push it in another direction. Nice example of chaos theory example.

Youtube is definitely meant for entertainment and that is what it does best but one additional thing that I have found it useful with is reviews and tutorial stuff. All the videos of "phonearena.com", a very respected mobile phones and tablets review website, are hosted on youtube. And this is pure information. You get to know stuff that you cannot lay your hands on for the time being. You get guidance for your future decisions and you get very valuable information. Additionally, you also get a chance to view things that you cannot afford to buy and see why they are so expensive. I think of it as pure information that is easily available. In addition to reviews, another great class of videos is tutorials especially gaming tutorials. These tutorials are mostly made by gamers who cannot afford their own video website and youtube provides them an easy solution to show their expertise to the world. This is also a pure form of information that is easily available and beautifully presented.

... difficult to imagine my life without the internet.

agree totally... i can't imagine how i can cope without the Internet, it has become part of our normal daily lives... it's just like how i find it hard not to have my cell phone with me all the time hehe

I normally use the internet for information related to my work,my job involves a lot of writing and so a lot of research has to be done on the content that I need to develop.I somehow enjoy surfing the internet, and sometimes I discover a piece of information that really engages me, difficult to imagine my life without the internet.

Internet means to me accessing mails coming from friends,relatives,close ones and something related to job prospects.Also internet means search engines where I can satisfy my queries and download study materials.
