Reflections: 23 Januari

TGIF for this long weekend! Hapi Chinese New Year for those celebrating!
Today was test day. Oh so nerve wrecking. It was a little bit tricky for me personally.
Btw today's lesson task is to read up this case study on Youtube, referring to Tutorial 3&4.
So let's take a look at the reviews we can give for the day.

What role Youtube plays in my life?
As major a role that it plays in anyone's life, I find that Youtube is like a one-stop shop for entertainment multimedia. It has a whole library of music videos & songs that can be streamed online & some of the material are even uploaded by official bodies. Not exactly so major role in my life, it mainly serves as an entertainment channel for me to watch episodes of tv shows or even just to listen to music (Leona Lewis for eg hahahaha) while I surf the net or do my work on the computer.

Can I live without Youtube?
Well...yes, I can live without Youtube. It just is that without this ingenious website for all sorts of media, life would not be as colourful or easy for us to obtain such content.

How can I use Youtube for research purposes?
Youtube has a very wide variety of content which also falls into so many categories of material that can be used as entertainment media, informative videos or even tutorials. When it comes to research, I am of the opinion that Youtube bears plenty of educational videos, tutorials & such. These videos sometimes even shows step-by-step methods of doing things, for example how to do a simple marker rendering. I believe that Youtube also has many documentary videos on certain topics ranging from official to amateur videos. Thus I think that Youtube does have certain materials that are very useful to do research.

That's about it for now. Cya next time. Have a good break.
