I must
admit that the availability of YouTube and my iPhone earbuds have been a new
and pleasant surprise for me in my on going needs for learning and
enjoyment. My 22 year old son’s love
for YouTube used to amaze me and caused me to reflect on his fixation of its
use. I would commonly think to myself, “He
sure does use YouTube a lot” …. “I wonder why?” It is now making more and more sense as I
have begun to use YouTube for my continuing education and spiritual needs
around the topics of spirituality, faith, psychology, music and personal growth. My cell phone plan gives me unlimited access
to YouTube and that includes music and whole albums from generations past.
Technology
is a lot like the unwrapped gift waiting for me to open it up and taking the
first step to learn something new. That
includes using my earbuds, finally. It
also includes wading into the deep waters of YouTube and checking out its
usefulness. Yes, YouTube is amazingly useful
and a goldmine and resource of free information. It’s a gift of modern
technology that is ready for the taking and use. Tapping into YouTube has reminded me, once
again, that learning and personal growth are up to me. Opening myself to new technology, YouTube
and earbuds, have paid surprisingly good learning dividends for me. My
next step is to dive into audio books, and I am eager to discover if audio books are good for me and my needs. Feel free to send or post your thoughts on audio books and YouTube. I welcome your opinions on both. Thanks.
