Nowadays, it has become very popular to post videos about various topics including but not limited to lifestyle and beauty tips, music videos, TV shows, movies and videos of everyday life. The most popular place to upload these videos is the website of YouTube and MySpace as it is very easy to upload and download any videos from these sites. So basically anyone who has a little knowledge about how computers work can upload, download or comment on any video available at these sites.
Online videos have their share of advantages; one of them will be that it is a way of expressing your opinions and giving tips on various topics. Another advantage is that it is cheaper to watch it on YouTube than to buy the original movie or music CD. People are amused by many videos made at home that are funny or that depict a certain experience of a person. Online videos are a great way of advertising your company in that you can advertise your products in a way that will amuse people and as this video is passed around, the recognition of the company increase as well as the number of customers. It is also a very good platform for performers to be judged by other people like if someone makes a video of them singing or dancing. Other people can rate whether this person is good in his/her field or not. Also if you are stuck on a problem, you could watch videos of people explaining you the solution. It saves you time and money.
There are some disadvantages though. One of them will be that if you divulge too much information about yourself, it can lead to very awkward meetings like when you go to interview for a job and the interviewer has seen a video of you making a fool of yourself and it increases the danger of something bad happening to you like your property being damaged because some people do not have the same opinion as you. Also people can get defamed very easily – you made a video of someone doing an embarrassing thing like picking their nose in public as a joke, that person could get defamed very quickly and the consequences of this video could be very dire on the person who was filmed. Also you should keep in mind that many videos are not good enough and that you could essentially be wasting time and effort trying to find something.
Video sharing has many benefits but you have to be careful of how much information you are divulging – knowingly and unknowingly. You also have to remember that anyone who has an internet connection can see your video, so you have to be careful of what you say and whose name you involve because that person could get very angry. Video sharing can be in some instances a time saver as well as a money saver but in most cases, online videos tend to a time waste and waste of effort.
