| How video clips influence our lives | | Posted Friday, May 05, 2006 8:55:33 AM by Rose Martins | Video clips are viewed everywhere today.  They are downloaded from the internet, seen on TV, watch during theatre previews and emailed from PC to PC.
Some video clips are funny, some are hilarous, there are those that are pretty shocking, some scary and then there is just plain stupid video clips.
Most of the hot video clips don't come for free. One has to pay a download fee that varies depending on demand. There are great skateboarding clips and fighting video game clips available, as well as some really crazy clips of people doing outrageous stunts.
Some of the funniest video clips are taken by amateurs that don't always have the necessary video skills. These clips are taken for the purpose of showing at special occassions and functions.
