form and content

The difference between form and content is not something which I am particularly knowledgeable about, but I would have to guess that form is the way in which content is presented, and content is what is actually being presented. As for youtube, I would have to say that it is modern in some ways and postmodern in others. The reason it is modern is because it is simply videos of people doing things, but it is postmodern because of the way it is presented to people. Youtube is video sharing from person to person and is not professionally done, making it postmodern because anyone can do it. In this case I would say that the content of youtube is modern because it is just video, but the form of youtube and the way it is presented is postmodern.
As for the Shakespeare sonnet, when you change the words around, you do not change the form because it is still a sonnet and in the classic sonnet form with 4 lines and all that good stuff, but the content is nowhere near what it was before. The original sonnet makes perfect sense and can be read fluently and understood by anyone with a 5th grade reading level, but when you change the words into alphabetical order, it does not make any sense, to anyone. I would argue that changing the form from the original sonnet to a sonnet where all of the words are just in alphabetical order is just a stupid practice with no real purpose. The only reason why anyone would do that is to try to cause unnecessary confusion amongst the readers of the sonnet. It doesn’t solve anything so why not just leave it as it is, accept it as one of the works of a great historical writer, and move on? There’s no need to change things just for the sake of argument.
