We cant touch. we cant look. That is unhealthy... I am part of a team of researchers doing an ethnography of YouTube culture for a class at Kansas State University taught by Dr. Michael Wesch (mwesch). We are creating a video documentary of YouTube that will be posted to YouTube at the conclusion of our research. We will also be writing papers and giving conference presentations on this research. To see our work in progress, visit our blog at http://mediatedcultures.net/ks... If you have any questions or concerns you may contact Dr. Michael Wesch at mike.wesch@gmail.com or Dr. Rick Scheidt, Chair, Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects, 203 Fairchild Hall, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506, (785) 532-3224.

i lived in spain for a while and there people kiss on both cheeks whenever they meet even if they have never met before. People always touch when talking to eachother, people you dont know will pat you on the back etc. In spain americans are considered the least friendly/least open to physical contact even more so than northern europeans

Thank You Thepoasm...I understand what you are saying, and I agree, I am a very kinesthetic (touchy feely ) type of man...however in our society the "TOUCH" is not "Allowed" esp. for men... I LOve to hug children...non-sexually, of course...(notice the disclaimer...)but I had to wait until I was a grandfather for it to be more tolerated in regard to touch.....CIAO Of course there are those who would and do exploit touching...I am Strongly OPPOSED to that...

I wish our society wasn't so isolated as well. We travel in boxes (cars), like in boxes (houses), we ride up and down in boxes (elevators), I kinda wish society wasn't heading towards more isolation. Makes it harder to meet people. I study people all the time. See if a smile sent receives a smile back. It's nice when complete strangers smile back. Would be nice to just cuddle up on a couch watching a movie with a female friend without expectations of anything. (out of space)...

You make good points. You should check out the 'Free Hugs Campaign'. You will be pleased by what you see.

in hong kong, you can sleep on someone's shoulder in the subway - and its normal. (saw it in an ad) its a cultural thing. in india, guys and girls hold hands in any order w/o issue. its a cultural thing. anyway... ask urself what does it feel like watching these videos again so many months later?? if ur laughing, its good. if ur not... thats too bad.

Guess what? You're dumb. Stop being really insightful and intelligent. Jesus! It's too much to take. EVER. Also, to this guy below me- get bent, go see a shrink, then jump off the roof of a fast moving car naked so you can get chees gratered by the asphalt. Just a suggestion.

Touch me. I love watching people too. Most people react pretty awkward to me watching them. Every now and then somebody smiles. And I can live on that for days. Another thing I got thinking about while I watched is: do we enjoy listening to the thought of a stranger for 5m57s - offline?
