Watch Videos Online To Increase Your Knowledge
By Sylvia Adolvana
Watch videos online for entertainment and increase
your skills with online courses. I like to visit online
video sites like YouTube to watch funny videos and finding
online courses for software I use on my computer.
I even watch videos on gardening, cooking and home
improvement. If I need to know how to do a task around
the home, I conduct a search for videos on the topic.
Free Online Courses
Some of the courses may be the complete online course
for free, or it may include a couple of videos for free
and then you have to run to the site to pay for the
rest of the videos. This way the video creator can recoup
some of the production costs.
I always like to search what is available on the video
topic and then watch some of the free videos, read the
offer for the rest of the videos on the website and
decide if I wish to pay for the rest of the course.
If I can’t find what I need on YouTube, I enter the
search topic on Google and find the videos I need on
other sites. But whenever I like to watch videos, my
first stop is YouTube.
Watching Free Online Movies
Although it has been possible to watch videos online
for a long time, the advertising industry is only now
getting hip to the commercial possibilities. For a while,
they figured that if people watch free movies online,
they would drive the film studios out of business.
I don’t think the film studios are anymore at ease
with free online movies, but they are starting to realize
that there is only so much they can do. Rather than
fighting it, they are starting to try to find new ways
to make money with the technology.
Funny Videos On YouTube
A lot of Internet viewers try to watch videos made
by the big studios, but I think even more people are
into watching independent movies. For everyone illegally
downloading Spiderman, there are probably three or four
people who watch funny videos on youtube made by some
guy with his web cam.
There are a lot of ways to watch video clips from commercial
movies, but downloading movies online is a little bit
more difficult. You usually need a pretty fast connection,
a lot of hard drive space, and a good bit of luck. After
all, the laws are so draconian in this country that
if you get caught downloading videos, it can completely
bankrupt you.
Downloading Old Dr Who Episodes
One of my favorite things to do is to watch videos
of old TV shows that aren’t available anymore. Although
this is technically illegal, in general the laws aren’t
enforced. I download Dr. Who movies off bit torrent
all the time.
Many of the old episodes haven’t even been released,
and a few of them have been lost, but there are still
people uploading them on to the Internet. If Dr. Who
fans could not watch videos online, we wouldn’t be able
to see many of these great episodes. I think the BBC
knows this and that is why they aren’t taking legal
action to stop it.
It is also a lot of fun to watch videos on YouTube.
The great thing about You Tube is that it costs nothing
to post your movies, but once they are up, they can
be seen all over the world. People put up political
commentary, funny movies, or just footage of their vacations.
Entertaining Movie Clips And Online Courses
I sometimes spend hours watching entertaining movie
clips on YouTube. I love the ones where they pull some
funny stunts, although I try to avoid watching videos
where people or animals get hurt. Among the millions
of videos, there are some trash videos, most are far
better than the funniest home video shows on TV!
I also watch videos for online courses, to increase
my skills. If there is new software I have installed
on my computer, I go to YouTube and search for videos
on the software.
Educational Video Courses
More often than not, I find some fascinating courses,
which are often much more detailed and informative than
the educational videos on the software site. I have
started to notice, many of the software companies now
place their videos on YouTube to promote their software.
I find it is much easier to learn, when you watch someone
using the software, completing a task, rather than reading
text and try to imagine how the task can be accomplished.
Seeing is believing when you can watch videos.
