YouTube & Children - Pros and Cons

The Future: Children & YouTube

The future is an amazing place full of technology and many more. But, the future relies on our children and their consumption of the internet.

Generations

Children in this generation have many positive and negative impacts on the world around us. Firstly, Children all over the world constantly view Google for information or games. This provides knowledgeable adults for the future of the world. The negative is that children can not get enough of the internet and Google. Google has created an addictive site that children from the age 5 years old up to 18 years old, who use Google every day, can not stop going online. This is a negative because children are not getting outside enough, this can cause many body problems and addictions.

YouTube

YouTube is one of Google’s most prized possessions. The amount of profit Google makes from YouTube is insane. So many children go on YouTube every single day, children watch their favorite YouTubers prance around and sing. Instead of learning about informational things such as “How Animals Act in Nature,” children are watching people playing videogames. The dream of becoming a famous movie star is no more, children dream about how life would be like as a YouTuber.

How Gamers Make Money

Gamers make their profit by many sponsorships and donations by fans. Gamers do make profit from YouTube but, mainly sponsorships. Sponsorships can consist of many things, a sponsorship just slightly promoting the company, or a sponsorship where the company send the gamers new equipment. Many big companies like Logitech and Razer sponsor gamers to promote their companies. Twitch is a streaming website that allows gamers to stream their favorite games to a live audience. Also in Twitch, there is a donation function. Twitch makes a percent of these donations but mainly all donations go to the streamer/|YouTuber.

Children are affected by YouTube by spending so much time on YouTube. YouTube with the so many YouTubers, there is an endless number of things to watch.
