The videos we nowadays watch at You Tube, were not always like this, they were just simple presentions, with texts and sometimes a few images, now we can also watch 3D movies, hundreds of film editing softwares, we can now create moving images, starting from zero, and without a lot of acknowledge about softwares or image creating.
Images and videos have always been connected, since most videos are formed by images, not only films. In the past, we would only watch some commercial and business videos and images, nowadays we find any video and any image about anything, the internet is filled with content for all ages and likes.
But as everything, there is a bad side on that too, with funny images photos pics and videos being accessible by anyone who has a computer connected to the internet, a lot of bad content is being distributed around, criminality, porn, violence, even kids find content related to that, they may not wish so, but the internet has been such a mess, with advertising everywhere, that sometimes we can not choose what we want to see anymore, it just pops up and we are shown anything others are paying to show.
Of course, someone can have a lot of fun watching videos and finding nice images, comic strips, and obviously, serious content, all those videos and images available do certainly help a lot of people with their jobs and school work, have you ever imagined what it would be like if the internet was like the past, only black and white text pages? I can bet it would not be that popular if it was like that.
So, in general, the online images and videos have developed a lot in the past years, from simple logos to websites dedicated to images hosting, from text presentations to 3D videos and websites specialized on internet videos, it is hard to imagine what it will be like in a few years, with several ideas popping up every day, this industry still has a far market to take control!
