Watching You Tube Has Never Been More Fufilling

September 15, 2007 - 4:00 pm By CC Staff

you tube class Procrastination is always something I’ve been really good at.

Now that You Tube has made a permanent mark in all of our lives, procrastination has been easier than ever, making useful hours fly by and turn into a waste of clips and videos.

One professor at Pitzer College is trying to change this.

Alexandra Juhasz is a media studies professor at the liberal arts college, and is teaching a course on the usefulness and the phenomenon of You Tube.

As someone who spends a lot of time on the website, I have yet to find its inherent “usefulness” but I’m hoping Ms. Juhasz and her students let us all know what they come up with.

Of course we all saw how wonderfully effective the You Tube debates were, and how insightful the user questions were.

The idea is good and the intention is nice. But really those of us who sit on You Tube all day watching our favorite clips from “Family Guy,” maintain that the site’s usefulness lies in the fact that it’s completely useless.

We kind of want to keep it that way.

I wonder if now that being on You Tube is required for a class, the students will rebel and actually want to read books to waste time.

Coed Dorm Rooms – Yay or Nay?

My group of friends is pretty mixed between guys and girls, and now that we’re upperclassmen and live off-campus, it seems totally normal for them to share houses. In fact, it seems quite splendid. But would it be quite the same to co-habitate with a manly man in that closet I used to affectionately consider my room?
