Given the advantages YouTube achieved over a large range of world culture, we were hoping to remember the first video we saw there. But many or most of us are not. Rather, we simply realized one day that we had developed our daily YouTube habits in the mid-term and 2,000 people. Rather, your own introduction to the platform came through videos that were too trivial to make a lot of impressions, assuming you can load it at all. (We forget how late YouTube can first be in this era of instant streaming.) But perhaps the smallest of things were the point. “Me at the zoo.”

“Imperfect, here we are in front of the elephants,” says Jawed Karim, YouTube co-founder, standing in front of an animal enclosure at the San Diego Zoo. “The cool thing about these guys is that they have really, really, really, really, really long, um, um, trunks. It’s cool. And that’s pretty much everything.”

The runtime is 19 seconds. The upload date was April 24, 2005, two years ago. “Charlie bites my finger.” and “Chocolate Rain” 4 years ago Joe Rogan’s experienceand 7 years ago “Gangnam Style.” The power of pop culture, Mrbeast, a child known only as Jimmy Donaldson, would have been expecting his seventh birthday.

“After the zoo, a great flood,” Virginia Heffernan wrote 2009 new yoke The era piece In the first four and a half years of YouTube, the site contained very little content that associated it today. If you have a favorite YouTube channel, it probably didn’t exist. Heffernan, as it actually did, has come to viral as a new form of culture in “failure”, “carrying”, and “unboxing” videos at the time, but now we’ve come closer to the convention of YouTube videos that we know are not crystallized yet. Not everyone who saw something like “Me at the Zoo” understood the promises of YouTube. Perhaps it was not particularly revealed to be informed that an elephant has a trunk, but it is even more beneficial than many of the myriad explanatory videos uploaded as we speak.
