Imagine not having a platform to post whatever you want. A safe space to post videos containing your thoughts, opinions, stories and there is no restraint on how long your videos can be. Most of will never know a life where this doesn’t exist. Especially since the majority of you in this class were born after the founding of YouTube in 2005. Before then, it was nearly impossible for the average person to be able to produce films without production studios, expensive equipment, etc. Now it’s just a simple click of a button as long as you have access to an internet connection.
Youtube was created by three friends, Chad Hurley, Steven Chen, and Jawed Karim, who all previously worked at PayPal. They all had a common problem, which was the lack of ability to share/access videos online. Their goal was to make something simple out of a previously complicated idea. At the time there was no good way to upload and view videos with computers and phones.
