Videos are becoming the medium of education -- for better or worse.
In April this year, an 8-year-old boy from Ohio, US, surprised the world by driving himself and his 4-year-old sister safely to McDonald’s for a cheeseburger. He credited YouTube for teaching him his precociously skillful driving.
On Monday, the Busan Haeundae Police said it arrested a 54-year-old man for administering beauty procedures to women without a license after learning the ropes through video guidelines.

On Monday, the Busan Haeundae Police said it arrested a 54-year-old man for administering beauty procedures to women without a license after learning the ropes through video guidelines.
The suspect is being accused of giving shots of aesthetic fillers and botox to some 20 women and quoting a fee that is 30 percent of what a hospital would normally charge.
The man originally worked as a supplier of cosmetics appliances. In between his jobs, he learned how to give the shots on various parts of the face through the product’s booklets and video instructions.
The man made some 6 million won in profits through the irregular practice.
Unregulated beauty procedures hold serious risks of facial paralysis, dyschromodermia, blindness and apoplexy.
