reflective blog #8
Another shorts week. Im definitely not complaing but it makes blogging somewhat difficult. I try to blog about things we did in class but its hard when we only had one class this past week. I guess ill take a moment to talk about the video we watched from youtube. I thought it was very powerful story and it definitely touched many people on the youtube community including myself. I cant believe that a video camera, a very sick girl, a concerned loving mother, and a very passionate individual can start a world-wide campaign. Its so awesome that people all over the world can see this girl and realize the pain she is going through and most importantly pray for her. It also provides them an opportunity to touch base with and effect the young girls life and for some people, including myself, it makes us realize how lucky we are to be healthy. Its so nice to see youtube and the internet being used to positively effect someones life, istead of just serving as a source of entertainment.

I definitely agree with you; I never thought that a website like You-Tube could deal with serious issues like cancer, not to mention starting a major campaign and affecting so many people with a simple set of home videos. I think a lot of times people overlook technology or reflect too much on its bad elements. Seeing those videos reminded me that it can be used for good things too.
