Have you ever wondered how your favorite website for watching
funny animal videos, gaming streams, and cool science experiments
got its start? Join hosts Mira and Finn on History's Not Boring
as we travel back in time to the year 2005! Back then, sharing a
video on the internet was actually incredibly hard to do. But
three friends had a big idea to change that. They filmed a
simple, 19-second video of some elephants at the San Diego Zoo
and uploaded it to their brand new website. It became the
first-ever YouTube video! At first, nobody thought their little
video-sharing website would actually work. But guess what? Just
20 months later, the giant tech company Google bought YouTube for
a mind-blowing 1.65 billion dollars! Today, people upload over
500 hours of new video every single minute! From a silly, short
clip of zoo animals to the way the entire world watches almost
everything, the story of YouTube is totally amazing! Grab your
headphones and hit play to discover how a quick trip to the zoo
changed the internet forever!
