YouTube is a fascinating site. I have used it to search for old songs, scenes from "The Muppet Show," skits from "Saturday Night Live," performances of Christian music for church, performances by a magician who wanted to do a show at our library, etc. etc. Yesterday I watched a couple of videos that a friend posted so that everyone could see how his father was doing in physical therapy at Madonna in Lincoln. We had a patron in one day with her son and grandchild. The son was visiting with the baby but Mom was still at home working, and he wanted to get on a computer so he could put a video on YouTube so Mom could see the baby waving goodbye or something. What a neat way for people to keep in touch!
There is a LOT on YouTube that is not fit to watch, but I guess you just skip over that. I think kids need some education about using this site, and perhaps supervision while using it. But that goes for everything on the Web!
