You Tube
You Tube is the power of community combined with the power of community. By sharing information freely and easily, we can expand knowledge, build talent, and improve our society.
Thanks to the community sharing knowledge of You Tube and the Internet I have repaired a washer, fixed a hot water heater, learned new health applications, and uncovered new skills and passions.
With the help of efficient communication networks, the Internet, You Tube has enabled every person to share their talents, knowledge, and skills with the rest of the world, and the possibilities are incredible.
We have in essence, a vehicle to expand our knowledge on a vast array of subjects by simply connecting with the community. We have the ability to educate ourselves in a new powerful way without the limitations and expense of traditional educational systems.
Our hot water heater started running out of hot water prematurely and thinking I needed to replace the unit, went to You Tube to check how to diagnose a faulty hot water heater. After reviewing several videos, I learned that I could simply check the thermostat and heating element to determine if the heater was working properly. You Tube showed the repair, and after purchasing the parts for $20 I was able to repair the heater and now the hot water runs long and strong.
The expense, time, and energy saved by the repair lead to increased productivity and an improved quality of life. Now let's multiply these countless opportunities with people throughout the world, from developing countries, across cultures, and languages You Tube is just a single example of how the internet can improve our lives in powerful ways.
The sharing community will transform our lives in unforeseen ways, from educational institutions to health systems. We are at the early stages of understanding and applying this technology and the best is yet to come.
