YouTube: A digital classroom

Over the past decade, YouTube has turned out to be a great platform through which new skills can be learnt. YouTube users can learn anything from it. They can learn cooking, body building, how to assemble a computer and install software into it and even learn foreign languages.

A few days back, I bought a water filter machine. After bringing it home and taking it out of its box, I was unable to properly assemble it. So I logged into YouTube and saw a helpful video clip about assembling water filters. It then took me five minutes to put the machine together and it ran perfectly.

Now, if I face any problems with my personal computer, I type the problem in the search option of YouTube and instantly find a number of solutions.

YouTube is a wonderful learning tool and it should be used to learn new things so that people can enrich their lives. The youth of today and tomorrow are very fortunate that they have such convenient platforms through which they can learn new things and get so many other benefits from.
