To be saddened by the waste

Sat in a meeting the other day doing some strategy work, an agency bod presented the fact that YouTube is now the largest (most used) search engine.

When challenged that surely he meant Google he confirmed YouTube. But surely this engine is not the most relevant for looking up useful facts, work use etc?

No no its not but they do have a lot of funny cat videos and the like he says. True fact.

So AIBU to be saddened by the fact that our great nation is now mainly using the awesome invention that is the world wide web, the opening up of our global minds, the power of collective knowledge and communication.

To watch funny cats.

You should be ashamed

YouTube has a lot of educational, information and instructional vids, it's not all funny cats.

Also, some good documentaries.

The cat videos are the least of my worries of the things that lurk on the internet. I'm pretty sure nobody uses the internet for the sole purpose of watching funny animals on YouTube.
