Everything is on YouTube ( www.youtube.com ). Or, almost everything. The point is, you can spend hours losing yourself in your favorite TV shows and films on this site, not to mention educating yourself on anything that may strike your fancy at the time.

And when I say "everything," I actually mean everything. People post video blogs on YouTube, which are really just several-minute-long recordings of them talking about random and often mundane things in their lives that very few people are really interested in, anyway. But if you have a specific point of interest - or a specific television show or film - don't be too surprised to find it on YouTube. Technically, the time of each video was limited to ten minutes in order to keep things like TV and film from finding their way to YouTube, but people just started posting them in installments, so that rule did no good.

However, if you have a particular interest in a historical event or in a place or person - don't be too surprised to find a wealth of documentary film sources up on YouTube. So the site really is not only a good way to have fun and pass time, but also could be used as an educational tool. Personally, I use it as both - a way to watch American TV shows that I don't get here since I don't own a TV, and also as a way to find documentaries on things that interest me. And of course, to find old television shows that I watched as a child and which were taken off the air long ago.

So if you find yourself with free time, and feel like hanging out alone, give YouTube a try. I think you'll find that you won't be lonely at all.
