Yang Li:We start with our interview with a group of students at Goldsmiths University: Do they use the internet for entertainment? Eva: Yeah, I use the internet a lot to listen to music. I also find it good for, I love comedies, and it's just fantastic that YouTube is full of old clips of old American sitcoms¹ and sketch² shows and stuff like that. Daya: I also use YouTube as well. But for me, I think it's the authenticity³ of people who are not famous, who are not musicians, who go up on YouTube and they post their own videos and that has me laughing all day. It's absolutely entertainment, it's classic. There's no editing, it's just hilarious⁴, it's completely hilarious, I love it.
