YOUTUBE - 1

I heard about
youtube from the news because of the content of some videos - such as violence, pornography and sex - but I never browsed the site. This free service, like many others on the net, is very useful if people use it appropriately because you can watch videos, movies, singers performing on stage, cartoons, past live events, make irony of politicians... I had a lot of fun in searching videos because I could listen to native speakers and it only took me a click of the mouse! I think that the main problem is the lack of regulation as everybody can upload them.

Net regulation is one of the most discussed issues nowadays and net industry has not drawn a conclusion yet because there are too many interconnecting factors coming into play. Think about the collision of national and local regulations all over the world, people's anonymity when publishing, difficulties in checking pages being published every second... I think that there will be no solutions or, better said, there will be an end to regulation.


What do you think about this topic?

Do you know Stewie Griffin?!?! I think he is great!

He is the breakout character of the Family Guy show. He is Machiavellian and evil in whatever he does. This is probably due to the fact that his mother used to smoke marijuana while pregnant with him. Stewie is not a child like the others because he does things adults do and there are so many aspects to investigate about him - e.g. his intelligence, his ambiguous sexuality, the fact that he seems constantly carrying a firearm ... But that's not all... You can get more on youtube where you can watch some episodes. I chose two for you - the first one gives you an idea of the character and the second one is connected to actual topics... Enjoy them!!!
