America's Funniest Home Videos

Who hasn't heard of YouTube at this point? I am still amazed how fast things spread over the internet. We have now gotten used to these videos on youtube. The thing is, these videos aren't edited by professionals or screened prior to releasing them. They are created by individuals who have the freedom to say what they want and thousands of people watch them. In fact, most will believe whatever message they are trying to get across. This is now called "peer production." Will this be allowed to continue or are these videos going to be restricted or limited?

I think they are a great means of self-expression. There is a lot of freedom as to the content of these videos. Additionally, the speed at which videos are viewed is remarkable. This has never been possible and I think is beneficial. The only thing to keep in mind when viewing "peer produced" videos is that they are made by regular people. It is important to remember not to believe everything you see and hear.
