Never Open YouTube! Yup, that’s on my wall just right beside my computer screen… It’s kind of going against the grain here, for something that’s No.3 worldwide as per Alexa.com ranking today…
But I’ve really wasted so much time of my life on YouTube already…
Yes you tube has become the source of almost all information you need about anything —everything… You want to read about something? Go to Google or Wikipedia… But if you want to know more –watch the videos in YouTube…
There was a time when audio was king… Anything that had audio had high value in the internet, but people these days respond well to videos… If it’s video, then its high value on the internet today…
I’ve literally ditched my cable TV 3 years ago when I first learned that everything is on YouTube. Even episodes of my childhood favorite TV shows like “Knight Rider” and “Twilight Zone” are on YouTube… My neighbor’s cat is on You Tube… Probably your dad is on you tube… the Pope is on YouTube —everyone is on You Tube! People live on You Tube!
I just wanted to finish reading a book, unfortunately it’s a PDF file so I’m stuck in my computer and the temptation to open a video in between breaks is always there… This is the reason why most offices or workplaces. I guess, install cameras or even software to watch the screen of their employees during work time… You Tube is just addicting, and ranked No. 1 together with Facebook when it comes to stealing peoples’ time.
Yes, you tube is rich in useful information, but when you open one video, it’s just difficult to avoid the temptation of opening another related video… And I don’t want to block You Tube in my computer. I even have a couple of videos in you tube, besides, You Tube is actually my favorite website, but unfortunately for the time being –is also the cause of all the delays in my projects…
