An Anthropological Intro. to YouTube

EventsTechnologyEducation by: iThinkEd Staff

Yesterday, our friends at Open Culture posted a fascinating and accessible video by Michael Wesch dealing with the intricacies of Web. 2.0. Michael Wesch, a professor of cultural anthropology, has become something of an internet phenomenon, having produced two wonderful videos that help demystify the world of Web 2.0.Wesch has a new video getting some play.

Below you can watch a talk he recently gave at The Library of Congress, where he uses video to dissect the new mediascape that we’re living in, and how it’s changing our relationships … for better or for worse.

Be sure to check out Wesch’s other videos, “The Machine is Us/ing Us” and “Information R/evolution.”

    Great video. Thanks for the post. It sure is long, but if you are interested in the trends of Internet culture, make some time to give it a view. It serves as a great overview of Wesch’s work.
