Nowadays all spheres of people’s lives are connected with the Internet. More than 1 billion people visit YouTube on a monthly basis and a lot of them are convinced that this platform is the most precious source of knowledge. There is no denying that this issue is rather controversial and people differ greatly in their attitude towards it. In my essay I am going to analyze this debatable issue and express my point of view.
As far as I am concerned, watching YouTube videos is the best way of learning something new and there are some reasons to support my viewpoint. Firstly, this way of learning is really convenient. People are able to obtain knowledge by watching videos in comfortable conditions, for instance, while commuting. Secondly, it is free. YouTube channels’ subscribers do not have to pay for watching videos whereas people who attend courses or learn with tutors have to pay quite a lot.
However, there are people who think differently. They claim YouTube videos are useless for learning since they sometimes contain misleading information. I cannot agree with this. The majority of people who make videos for YouTube are not interested in deceiving anybody, so they try to check all the information by themselves. As a result, YouTube videos are really useful for learning because they contain trustworthy information. To sum up, taking into account everything said above I can come to the conclusion that watching YouTube videos makes learning possible for everyone and everywhere that makes it the most convenient way of all types of education.
