YouTube Appreciation Thread: What has it helped you do?

It taught me how to give a pedicure to an opossum, which was really something that I used to worry about doing right:

As long as you stop short of 42 times a day...

 

Pretty much any useful education videos that are uploaded from Khan Academy on youtube. It's been my own personal tutor. When I was going for an Electronic Tech Cert, it helped teach me how to test electrical math formulas with a bread board and helped better explain things like the various manipulations of Ohm's Law and the formulas for serial & parallel among other formulas.

There's almost no excuse for struggling in school nowadays if you have a working computer and a high speed internet connection.

 

The last How-To that somewhat helpded. I ended up just busting it open FORCEFULLY anyway, without the precision. And put the hard drive into a usb enclosure.

(Also "Youtube to MP3" has HELPED me SAVE $$$$)

Isn't that the truth.

Still, its about cutting away away attentiveness from FUN time into the LEARNING time. The easily accessible DISTRACTIONS have increased just as much as the easier learning tools.
