You Tube vs Television

A couple of weeks ago I was watching Channel 7 and 20/20 or a show like it was doing a special on the You Tube era.  They talked about how You tube with a combination of computers, cell phones and digital cameras, that media and news for this generation is being created by the people not by networks, journalist and politicians.  For example things that have been going on during this war in Iraq would have been kept hidden or came out 20 years later like Vietnam.  But because of camera phones and the internet soldiers themselves of documenting events in Iraq and sending it out to the public instantly.

It was also mentioned how You Tube is a source of entertainment for the new generation with videos of almost anything being uploaded, people display there talents for the You Tube audience in hopes for fame.  A young man and his friend created their own TV show that they put on You Tube and it got so much buzz that TV network executive contacted them about doing their own show.  The young man stated out of 700 channels there is nothing that he want to watch on TV because the networks are run by older people that doesn’t know what the new generation wants to see. 

Will You Tube replace Television?

    I definitely think youtube is one of the ways that television is being replaced but in general, the internet is replacing television. Local networks now give an option to watch episodes of the prime time shows that you missed on television… Online.. FOR FREE with minimal interruptions(basically the same commercial run 3 or 4 times). I havent watched a prime time show during the original air time on television in months now that I can watch it at my own convenience. But definitely a good point you bring up though.
