Hey all, hope you're well. I'm doing good, but am shattered. Kirsty and I went up to Robert Gordon Uni open day today. It was good, with some things being better than Stirling,others being worse. Overall I can't currently make up my mind between the two of them. I guess I've got some time.
So, today I thought I'd write about how much media is changing,particularly online media. We all get tv online now, whether thats through legal sources such as iplayer etc, or through illegal streaming. I'm trying to decide whether this is a good or bad thing.
Of course the internet allows for cult followings and fame to develop quickly. It provides a medium for shows that might not have anywhere else to go (see Dr. Horrible) and lets people access a wider variety of programmes and information in the form of video than ever before.
Thats all good, and it was all good, whilst it was a seperate thing to youtube. I thought it was all fine and dandy as long as youtube was a project of its own, youtubers themselves weren't making money off of it. Tv online could be seperate from youtube and they wouldn't cross over. Now though, there's the so called 'youtube celebrity' and people making money off youtube. The youtubers have sold out a bit really, and it upsets me because youtube COULD have been this alternative, non-profit [for the users] thing to come to to get away from the growing online media.But alas, all things come to money in the end.
This is just a rant really, I've strayed far away from my original topic and I can't remember where I was trying to go with this.
Sorry.
Moment of the day:Singing along to various songs,actions included,with Kirsty on the way home from Aberdeen.
Question of the day: How many of your tv shows do you actually watch on tv anymore, do you watch a lot online or?
My answer:I watch almost everything online nowadays.
Until next time ![]()
