To what extent has the emergence of YouTube changed our medium of entertainment?

YouTube is a free video sharing site which serves as a platform for users to upload, view, and share videos.

YouTube has since become a premier source of entertainment for millions of people world wide. Never in history have people been able to access such a large collection of videos at their finger tips. The ease of navigating the site also adds to its success. One can find almost any video on the site, with just a few clicks.

With YouTube, people now have instant access to their favourite series unlike on television. No longer do they have to wait for long periods of time before the next installation is aired. They can choose to watch it whenever they like, to pause or replay the video. They can even respond to the video by posting their comments on the video.

YouTube also provides people with the chance to broadcast their original videos. As a result, there is a unique collection of self-directed videos available on YouTube that cannot be found anywhere else.

Basically, you can watch anything, from traditional street performances to bizarre magic stunts, without leaving your seat with YouTube.
