YouTube as an Escape or Education
YouTube is a great way to find video information. There is nothing really negative to say about how YouTube is ran. Featured videos are on the homepage, and anything else is a search and click away. I decided to search for the comedian Josh Blue. Josh Blue is a stand up comedian that has Cerebral Palsy; he is a huge disability advocate. Most of the material that Blue uses stems from his disability; his interaction with what he calls "condescending people"; he explains in a comic twist how his disability has effected his life. A Josh Blue clip is a prime example of how YouTube can be used as an escape or as education. If one just wants to laugh then he/she can enjoy Josh Blue for that reason, and if one wants to be educational this is a great way to introduce the disability Cerebral Palsy to a group (classroom) of individuals. YouTube is already something I use on a regular basis for both personal entertainment and for educational purposes, and will continue to do so. One can search for anything and become bombarded with a plethora of videos pertaining to only what was searched for. I picked the clip below because laughter is best enjoyed shared. Sit back a listen to life from the perspective of Josh Blue.
