Reality Question for you YouTubers! I am part of a team of researchers doing an ethnography of YouTube culture for a class at Kansas State University taught by Dr. Michael Wesch (mwesch). We are creating a video documentary of YouTube that will be posted to YouTube at the conclusion of our research. We will also be writing papers and giving conference presentations on this research. To see our work in progress, visit our blog at http://mediatedcultures.net/ks... If you have any questions or concerns you may contact Dr. Michael Wesch at mike.wesch@gmail.com or Dr. Rick Scheidt, Chair, Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects, 203 Fairchild Hall, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506, (785) 532-3224.

Well for myself I just think there is not just one reality there is many of them and we adapt ourselves to wich one of them. We have many identities too and it's not just an youtube thing. You don't act the same way if you're talking to a kid or a policeman or with you're boyfriend, etc. Are you acting because of that ? No, you just choose the more appropriate part of you're personnality, you adapt. Well that's my opinion.

reality = a plane of existence, most of all you create our own reality. u can only INFLUENCE other people's reality. point is this all reality is an illusion. what is "real" like real life ya... u go ahead and think its real b/c u can touch it.... enstien e=mc square... nothing is real but consciousness but what is that? point is humanity knows nothing of nothing our whole society and reality on this planet is a construct or idea of a person not "real" just a program.

try a blow dryer to dry out your phone, and yes we are creating reality. everything we do as humans does something to reality.

Becky: Reality is a judgement, but as such, to make that judgement correctly we'd need to be both infinitely objective and infinitely wise, and if so, we'd probably not then need YouTube.

Everything is a big ol' hologram. (Space between and within atoms being what it is. There is only 'energy', blah blah blah.) Only Thought is real. In the world of thought there are falsehoods and truths. Real is that which is True. The medium is not relevant. Simple. Here's a truth: Cell Phones fuzz awareness. Maybe you dropped yours twice on purpose. The toilet was the right place. Now THERE'S a metaphor! In a world made of thought, metaphor is king. Listen to the subconscious. It knows.

Don't lie! :P You were taking a dump & talking on the phone. This, my friends, is a female thing. My friend dropped her cell phone in the toilet this way. My sister dropped her house phone, & my grandmother has done the same. Ladies, leave the phone on the hook; It will be there when you finish your business(promise). This will save you money(as you won't have to keep buying a new phone or -worst case scenario- have to call Roto Rooter. Remember: When you're on the throne, leave the phone alone.

Everything is real as it's part of our experience of reality. Fiction is real, a lie is real... But our experience of reality is so limited that it would be easier to simply say that nothing at all is real. "Reality" is no more than a word we use to talk about what we live, what surround us... But -in my opinion- it's just a word.
