You Tube
Sooo…I can’t stop thinking about the videos we watched in class the other day. I’m pretty sure I told all my friends about them. I just am shocked at how a group a strangers formed an online community all for one little girl. I think it’s amazing. At first when Mr. Corso told us that the mom had documented her daughter’s struggle with cancer, I thought it was a little odd and strange, but after watching the video it didn’t seem strange at all. I can’t believe how brave that little girl was. It made me think about how I over-react when I think I have a problem. That little girl was struggling with cancer and she was still laughing and telling jokes. I also thought it was a little weird for the lady to respond with a hugs for Jaycie campaign video. But once again, after watching the video and knowing that so many people responded, I think it’s pretty awesome. Without the use of video, the internet, and other technologies, none of that would have been possible. I think that posting videos is a great way for people to build a community or support groups. It is interesting how the internet can inspire people and form a bond between perfect strangers. I’m going to search you tube and watch some videos as soon as I’m done with this post…haha.

I was really touched by the video on you tube also! It made me feel a little unconfortable to when the mother was showing all the pain and things she was going through to the world, but it was a very nice thought and it really made me realize that there are worse things in life that the little things I'm worrying about. I think it was a good way to get her experience out there and it showed how strong she was. I agree with you on the hugs but it was a great idea and it got to alot of people! I almost had tears in my eyes!
It does make you think, a little girl can go through that, then I can handle my "problems". You're right if we didn't have the technologies of taking videos and sharing them with the world all of that wouldn't have been possible. She wouldn't have had nearly the kind of support she did.
