The Video Generation
Do you remember Gangnam Style? Do you like to see cats and dogs doing funny things? Online video
sites now get one billion visitors every month. These days, lots of young people watch more online
videos than movies. Why do they like these sites so much?
First, the videos are short. You need around two hours to watch a movie and you need money to go to
the cinema, but you only need a few minutes to watch a video on your tablet.
Second, there are so many different videos! People upload 300 hours of videos every minute. It's easy
to stop a boring video and find a better one. There are comedies, horror, and much more.
Third, everyone can upload videos to the Internet. It's interesting to watch things from everyday life
all around the world. You can also find videos from your friends or famous actors, too.
Fourth, you can write a comment to say what you like about a video. A lot of people like chatting about
what they watch and finding out about other videos.
Finally, you can download videos to learn new things. People upload videos about everything, from
college courses to fashion. You can also listen to teachers from universities. And it's all free!
