youtube according to an anthropologist

For anyone who still thinks Youtube is bollocks, have a look at Michael Wesch’s anthropological introduction to phenomenon, practice and subcultures.

Witty and often hilarious – and obviously with plenty of examples, this is surely on of the best and most entertaining seminars ever dished out to the Library of Congress.

Having watched this, I strongly believe that if Google ever tries to shut the platform down (it still struggles to make money from Youtube), there’ll be murder and mayhem everywhere.

Click play below to watch (it lasts almost an hour, but worth every minute).
