Importance of Words

Doing videos actively since 2007 of events, places and people and sharing them online in the video webhosting sites such as Video.ca, Vimeo.com, Youtube, blip.tv, Veoh.com, UStream, Torontotv.net, has accumulated to an online collection of 400+ videos!  A picture and video are worth a thousand words and lets the viewer sees reality reflected through the mental viewpoint of the videographer while forming their own viewpoints too as viewers.  It allows more fairness for all to share a video without putting too much bias on it.  However, the importance of words and sharing a biased viewpoint can help influence (or hinder) the reader depending on the background of the author.  As neutral and fair as some media and authors try to be, we all eventually form a viewpoint based on our background biases and one subject may be seen by others in many ways, even conflict with our own limited viewpoints.  Words are more biased than video but a blog (weblog) could also reflect on a vlog (video log) and either add or detract from it.  Keep this in mind when reading or viewing that it is shared but biased and each reader and viewer should develop their own opinion and viewpoint based on their own backgrounds, no matter how influential a blogger or vlogger is.  As for how truthful an opinion or viewpoint is?  It depends again on how close it is to our limited backgrounds and biases, whether it matches or not.  Sometimes, people will try to agree or disagree with someone else's but is it appropriate to agree with another when it goes against our own background?  In a public and shared event, multiple opinions, viewpoints will piece one event together creating a collective consciousness.  Since the internet and introduction of free blogs and comments online, traditional media opinion, often an elite educated background, has been balanced with the readers turned writers multiple opinions.  The masses now have a voice via blogs!
