Viral video is a video clip, which is now spreading in an amazing speed all over the world. YouTube is the most popular example of it, containing more than 40 million viral videos. Surprisingly, few people knew about YouTube one year ago; on the other hand, I am sure that there is no one in our class who have never visited there. It has become one of the most visited site.
The containts of viral video are often humorous comedy or parody; however, sometimes there are serious one. Websites like YouTube give us variety of choice. In addition, every users can contribute their own video clip by using special tool, which is not so difficult now. Recently, there is a new site in Japan, and the users offer interesting clips, from the way to makeup to the way to use Nunchaku.
The growth of viral video is so rapid that it has caused many problems, whose solutions are not found yet. The biggest problem is copyright: YouTube is said to contain the viral video that are copyed from other professional works. In the Japanese company that I mentioned before, the stuffs try to check all of contributed videos. However, what should YouTube does for the huge numbers of already up-loaded videos?
There is another problem. It is really easy to access viral videos, and we can watch them wherever and whenever we want. It causes problem because it allows workers to watch during their work! Also, once they have become the slaves of viral video, they would not be able to part from them.
In the future, these sites will increace even more. We must be selective, and concern about the problem such as copy right. If we become good audience, they will be useful and enjoyable for all of us.
