Going Viral

When it comes to going viral it can depend on your video, audience, or just luck. There are so many videos on YouTube posted every day that your odds of getting yours to go viral are very slim. Like i mentioned before it also depends on your type of video. One of the videos that were shown of a baseball team dancing to a song in a van was shot in a horrible angle and just not that great video, but it reached to millions of viewers, how? Maybe because just luck.  Tastemakers are big factors to some videos going viral. If I was to have a video on YouTube but never though it was viral capacity, but if Jimmy Kimmel who is a night show host would show it on his show it is very likely for it to go viral. Jimmy has millions of followers already that make any video go viral just because of his followers. It’s amazing how famous you could get even from a picture, like the example of the teen from target who’s picture was taken and became famous. He was even on Helen.

            In our society we also depend a lot on our phones or the Internet that we sometimes don’t need to memories things. For example, phone numbers are not required to be remembered because of our phones, when before I would know most of my friends phone numbers and my families. Today I only know two cell phone numbers by heart, one is my dad and the other is my aunt’s house number. Also in our jobs sometimes we don’t need to remember too much because we can use the Internet to get our information.
