Review: The History And Impact Of YouTube

Today I am writing a review of a paper covering history and impact of  YouTube. It is written by Tashi Kamlaldin Rwalshrangpa, Sanan Mammadli, Adeyimika Agboola Adetunji, Alejandro Ballesteros Perez, Louis Alvin.

The paper overall structure was very good, firstly a history of YouTube, then the technical aspect of it(as we are IT students) and then social aspects and society influence of  the platform. A little bit more division of paragraphs would ease reading, but overall it was not difficult to read it. 

The language used in the paper is easy to understand, didn't use complex English dictionary. Sources are very well sited, there are plenty of them. You can see all the references mentioned very clearly. 

The paper was interesting to read. The articles were exciting, and I have learnt many facts that I did not know. I really liked the fact that they covered the technical aspect of  YouTube and the way it stores videos. Also, mentioning the social and political aspects was very important, since YouTube is an enormous platform with tremendous influence on the world. 

Overall, I recommend reading this paper, as it is very exciting and I have learnt many new facts while reading it.

The Social Contract Theory

The Social Contract Theory was first formulated by Thomas Hobbes in his book Leviathan and later added to by Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. According to it, the society should strive to develop a set of rules that make sense to everyone (making people follow them voluntarily). For instance, driving on the right (or in some places, left) could be a common example - drivers keep to the right not for fearing the police but to avoid confusion and possible crashes. This theory can be applied in IT ethics. User Interface and overall User Experience is crucial in Web Design. Good product should be easy and understandable to use, otherwise users won't be happy to use it. Consumer will prefer a product that is easy to use and doesn't require any special training. Apple is very famous for concerning about user experience, starting from packaging, ending with small animations that guide you what to press.  A good example of developed set of rules, that make sense to everyone in IT is we

Stephen Hawking is a well-known British physicist and a world-class scientist, who is considered the most practical theoretical physicist since Albert Einstein. At the a very young age of 22, Stephen Hawking contracted Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) also referred to as motor neurosis. It causes muscle twitching and deterioration of muscles which leads to degeneration of muscles, difficulty in swallowing, talking and even breathing. Initially, doctors made a prediction that he has only 2 years left to live. But the genius went on to live up until he turned 76 and passed away in 2018. A human with such a rare degenerative disease went on to do phenomenal work in physics on Black holes and became one of the most outstanding scientists of all times. He was the best selling author of his time. Now, a question rises: how did a disabled man who could barely move his muscles got around to start giving lectures and writing books? This is where comes the intervention of Intel that has helpe

Estonia can be considered one of the most developed countries in terms of cyber security. According to Global Cybersecurity Index, Estonia is in TOP-5 in the world in terms of cybersecurity.  The Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) is a trusted reference that measures the commitment of countries to cybersecurity at a global level – to raise awareness of the importance and different dimensions of the issue. As cybersecurity has a broad field of application, cutting across many industries and various sectors, each country’s level of development or engagement is assessed along five pillars – Legal Measures,  Technical Measures, Organizational Measures,  Capacity Development, and  Cooperation – and then aggregated into an overall score. Estonia is the first nation in the world to implement electronic voting, which is a gigantic cybersecurity challenge - to provide both anonimity and trust, which are key elements of fair election. It has a well-developed system of ID-cards and signing the docu
