“You can learn more about how Americans live just by looking at the backgrounds of YouTube videos—those rumpled bedrooms and toy-strewn basement rec rooms—than you could from 1,000 hours of network television.” - Lev Grossman, Time
Here at Smelt Productions, we celebrate the revolutionary collaboration made possible by the World Wide Web. It’s digital democracy at its best.
You!
In 2006, the person of the year was not a modern day Einstein. It was not even another one of those Good Samaritans. Nor was it Al Gore. In that fateful year, the person of the year was You. Yes, You who love to play around with your Facebook profile or upload videos on Youtube. You who love to socialize in the online community. You who never get tired of tweaking around with your blog even after a long day at work.
International Understanding
“Web 2.0 harnesses the stupidity of crowds as well as its wisdom. Some of the comments on YouTube make you weep for the future of humanity just for the spelling alone, never mind the obscenity and the naked hatred.” - Lev Grossman, Time
True enough. But that’s the fun part of it. YouTube, among other social media sites, show us ‘reality’ at its rawest form. And it definitely beats network televisions at doing the job. Just like Lev Grossman would have it, “This is an opportunity to build a new kind of international understanding, not politician to politician, great man to great man, but citizen to citizen, person to person.”
