Home video is definitely improving the way people communicate. With websites such as youtube.com people are able to create and upload their videos and share them with the world. I like this because it gives ordinary people such as you and me an opportunity to share their views of the world. Youtube gives people a place where they can share their talents and opinions.

The teenage rapper Soulja Boy launched his multi-million album selling career from youtube. He would take an ordinary video camera and record himself rapping and making music videos. The site allowed him to grow a fan base, and eventually launch into the mainstream.

I have never personally uploaded a video to youtube, but I have considered it. I like the idea of being able to share my personal videos with millions of other users.
