Youtube...THE FUTURE

I am a member of Youtube. I may even be involved with a new channel. I've gone across this flourishing site for a few years now and I've watched it evolve in those few years. Originally it seemed to be a site where people could upload their favorite videos or even videos of their own. Unsurprisingly, people are taking advantage of this.

But with the existence of communities within the Youtube world, a future is beginning. Maybe of communication, maybe of filmmaking, maybe both. People are able to have their own shows, their video blogs (Vlogs), or other commentary, or just the originally intended uploaded videos from previously existing media. Some people have become celebrities from their Youtube fan bases. Such people include Philip Defranco, Smosh, Lisa Nova, Bo Burnham, and unfortunately
"Fred". Is Youtube the Online Hollywood? Who knows what the technologically advanced future may hold.

This has been a thought tugging at the head of Your Modest Guru. Thanks for reading.
