    I am going to try to emulate your model. I’m not as fearless as you; not sure I could ever recite my own poetry at the Library of Congress, or dance/lipsync to TI (love that song) and then broadcast it. I find the public space of blogging and YouTubing somewhat terrifying. I like to see my audience. But just as I ask my students to inhabit spaces of discomfort, challenging their taken-for-granted assumptions about the world, I guess it’s my turn to do the same. This semester a new adventure in active learning begins. Wish me luck.

    I have been looking for ‘Digital Ethnography’ for some time now(sites in terms of anthropology on the web, virtual spaces etc.). And here it is :-) .
    I’m a student in educational anthropology in Denmark (so you’ll have to excuse my englishea). My studypartner and I are currently doing our thesis on the educational project, One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), which aim to provide a laptop to every child in the poor and remote ares’ of the world, to bridge the digital divide (one may close a digital divide, but there will always be a divide, culturally, educationally, economically, governly etc.). anyway…

    I did my fieldwork in an armchair in an office in Denmark, just by looking at my computer. I’m an armchair-anthropologist. Because of digital ethnography, I had to rethink armchair-anthropology. Fieldwork can be done in virtual spaces. But in this sense ”Virtual does not referer to ‘imaginary’ and ‘unreal’ spaces. Like the physical spaces, virtual spaces is just another (equal) form of space… real fieldwork in an ‘unreal’ field.

    You tube has provided me with lots of data. The difference is, that I’m not studying you tube connections, I’m studying connections on you tube (in part). My biggest problem is to set up digital walls. Every time I see an interesting web-site in terms of scope, another interesting link/video/site reveals it self. When my thesis is done, I have connected OLPC to the hole world-history, and every living being on this planet.. hmm

    Having just finished watching the full video a bit over two years after it was first posted here, it’s proven again. Things online connect people through time.

    Incredible video.

    As a Media- and Communications Science student this was very interesting in many ways. And still valid after two years. Feels like it will be valid for at least another twenty. Thank you!

    I had to watch this for an SLIS class at Kent State University, and I have to say, it made a profound impact on the way I think about vlogging and YouTube in general. Amazing, insightful, and well-constructed. Thanks so much for sharing.
