Tommy Anderson is a student-athlete from San Diego, California. He is planning to double major in film and business with a dream of one day being a film director. His short film examines the multifaceted effects that YouTube has on homework and studying. Anderson was inspired by first-hand experience when he was distracted by the endless amount of cat videos online while trying to study for his statistics final, so he decided to recreate the experience with a video so others could relate. Anderson shows the evolution of the Internet through personalized advertisements and recommended videos and its correlation to Internet addiction, hoping to demonstrate how advanced the Internet has become and the many consequences that come as a result.
