#21 - Online Video

I think there's a lot of wasted bandwidth out there! That said, online videos are also a lot of fun! I love the historical stuff, especially the ads (I remember the Slinky ad from 1970 all too well!). Also from a historical cultural standpoint, it's fascinating to see when ideas and concepts began to be accepted. I think this opens up a lot of information that was nearly impossible to find before. The 1967 video showing the precursor of the Internet that was all the range a month or so ago, is an example of that. Also, I can see how useful this can be as a teaching tool. But I definitely think between databases, music, movies, tv shows, etc. we definitely need to come up with new definitions of copyright and ownership. I embedded a somewhat funny video about Peeps and genealogy - I remember early on when there was an "academic study" of Peeps and this just reminded me of that.
