Movie of the Moment 10

A longer one but worth every minute.

YouTube: A lens for seeing ourselves.

Michael Wesch is Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology Kansas State University and creator of the famous YouTube video “The Machine is Us/ing Us” about the cultural significance of new media. Here he speaks to the Library of Congress about the work he does with his students on the same topic. Like his subject, Wesch is interesting, inspiring and above all engaging. It’s worth 55 minutes to hear what he has to say — and what his work has to say about you.
