Anthropological Introduction blog

In today’s experience on watching the you tube video called “ An Anthropological Introduction to You Tube” by Mie Wesch I had learned a lot of new information that I had not known before this video. While watching the video Mike Wesch would talk about many different thing like how you tube got started, how people view hundreds and hundreds of videos every hour of the day, and how you tube had progressed massively over the many years since it started up. In one of the many scenes in the Anthropological Introduction to You Tube video there was a music video of the song numa numa. As the video was getting more and more views as the days went by people started to reenact the numa numa video and film it them selves. Now there are hundreds of reenactments of many different types of videos, and its all because of You Tube. There are two other scenes in the Anthropological introduction to You Tube that really made the videos become popular. One of those scenes is the soulja boy video. If this kid had never posted a video of this dance on the internet much less on You Tube he probably would have never became famous. As people started catching on and the word spread about this young artist and his talent he became popular and was on the radio everywhere. The last scene from the video we had watched in class was a what is known as the “Charlie bit my finger” video. In this video its two little what believe to be are English kids. The older boy looks to be about the age of 3 and the youngest boy looks to be about the age of one. They were sitting on a chair together and the oldest boy kept putting his finger in his younger brothers mouth, then finally “Charlie” the one year old bit down hard and the older boy screams “Ouch ouch OOOOOuch Charlie bit my finger, and that really hurt!” People made the video famous, no it is all over the world. I thought this Anthropological introduction video was interesting. It really showed me how things can get around on the internet so fast and how people interact with certain things.
