YouTube has reached its 20th anniversary, evolving from a mere entertainment platform into a significant educational resource. Users like Vena, a graduate student from Temple University, have turned to YouTube for in-depth learning opportunities previously unavailable to them in their home countries, such as China. As she aims to become a scriptwriter, Vena highlights the value of long-form instructional videos on the platform. Meanwhile, other users, like Dina and Mike Brown, emphasize YouTube's role in providing practical skills like makeup techniques and car maintenance, showcasing its broad applicability in daily life.
"Because I come from China, China blocked YouTube, so I never used it before I came to the U.S."
"I watched a lot of master classes about script writing on YouTube... YouTube is very good because there are a lot of long videos..."
"I watched a lot of makeup videos, and I learned a lot of hacks. I learned about some products I never heard of before..."
"I've learned to change the oil on my car. I've learned to change light bulbs. I've changed my brakes, rotors and pads."
