Video has become a huge part of social media in the 21st century. Not only is video used to capture memories but video is also used for learning and teaching. When trying to study a subject and gather information about something, one often tends to lose focus with reading and writing. Not only do people lose focus with reading and writing but they also might miss information that could be very important. If you were to simply watch a video to learn, the person giving the instruction could put every important detail in that video, make it entertaining and informative to where the viewer is able to learn easier, more efficiently, and not miss out on anything important.

Video doesn’t only have to be for learning. It actually started out for the sole purpose to entertain. Therefore, when people are given an informative video instead of a packet filled with information, they see it as more fun and they are more willing to learn. It is also very easy for a good editor to not only make the video really entertaining, but also make sure all the right information is included in the video. In order to make a good entertaining video, an editor could include, graphics, music, demonstrations, and even more. You can make good entertaining videos long or short. For instance, a company might put a short promo video on Instagram and put the longer, more detailed video on YouTube. It really helps in for the Google Search Engine to rank you higher when you are posting across different platforms.

Almost everyone has a smartphone nowadays. Having these smartphones makes viewing videos extremely easy. You can watch and upload a video anywhere you go at the touch of your fingertips. You can upload any video to YouTube and view it for free. When you upload a video to YouTube it stays there forever unless you decide to delete it. This is great for learning because if you forget something you can pull up that video really quick and get the information you forgot. You can also go back and watch a video over and over again to retain information. With paper, it is easy to get misplaced, get torn up, and it is also worse for the environment.

I encourage everyone to switch over to using video to put out information on all social media sites.  It is more efficient, saves time, is more entertaining, and better for the environment.
