History becomes alive on the internet

I am going to write a thesis paper at the end of the course and it will be about John F. Kennedy and Obama. I want to compare them by looking at their campaigns and how they used the media for it. When Kennedy ran for presidency in 1960 the "new" medium TV was used for the first time in a campaign. Therefore the first presidential debate was held on TV which was a really great thing back then.
By researching about Kennedy on the internet ( I have to say that I did not know much about him before) I really found some interesting stuff and I spent hours reading articles about Kennedy also in comparison with Obama. The internet makes it possible to get so many information about a topic... However, the best thing I explored where videos on youtube. I actually did not spend that much time on that site before so it was really exciting for me to see how many videos there were especially the old ones. I watched speeches by Kennedy, the tv debate and also how he was shot. It was so interesting to see these old things from about 1960 on the internet. It felt like getting a real insight into that history. That way it is even fascinating to learn something about "boring history". I really like that kind of studying more than reading old history books. On the internet history becomes alive and if people would spend more time watching serious stuff on youtube they could know alot of things. Especially when it comes to politics it is a really good source, you always have the latest news on youtube and you can catch up to what happens in the world right now. There is even an own youtube site for people interested in politics http://www.youtubepolitics.org/ lots of great stuff.
If you need information for University stuff from the internet you should consult youtube, there are probably the best information.
