It seems that educational videos may be crushed under the huge demand for entertainment videos. Who does not enjoy sitting back and watching a funny video? The whole experience is therapeutic--it relaxes the mind, lifts the spirit and eases stress. Even dedicated students, who are so strongly aware of the benefits of learning or individuals who have allocated their personal time, energy for learning, are prone to distractions and are unable to resist the temptation of watching entertainment videos.
This being said, it should be noted that educational videos have their place in this world. They serve the important purpose of instructing/educating viewers and as such, cannot be dispensed with. Their audiences consist of students, researchers, parents, teachers and enthusiasts. High school students and their parents would find videos on the SAT and ACT testing very useful. History researchers and enthusiasts might choose to watch videos on the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire. Teenagers would like instructional videos on avaition, cars or about whatever their interests may be. In spite of their instuctional focus, educational videos may not be necessarily boring. Everybody appreciates that a good educational videos, which combine fun and learning are valuable and indispensable.
