media type="custom" key="2339843" width="220" height="184"** Youtube.com Anthropological Intro to YouTube** "Professor Michael Wesch’s brilliant presentation to the Library of Congress, June 23, 2008. The video is 55 minutes long, but is an excellent background to social media, user-generated content, and online communities through the lens of anthropology." This presentation explains how YouTube(and the internet) is linking people in ways we never could have imagined. YouTube created "Networked Individualism" and a "Hyperself Awarness" of self. Also, an "Aesthetic Arrest" allowing the viewer to experience beauty by making it OK to stare. I think this presentation would show students how our sense of community is truly changing and open their eyes to endless possiblites of the future.
