First ever YouTube video

Back in the olden days, there was no YouTube. Cyberspace was a pretty dull place.

Then, in 2005 a couple of guys came up with the idea of a video social networking site. The rest, as they say, is internet history. Or something.

Anyway, I was amazed to see the first ever upload from one of YT's founders. It's pretty bland and yet typical of the kind of content YT is riddled with. If only they'd thought about filming the elephants taking a dump, or someone getting attacked by a monkey.

No doubt cyber-archaeologists will be searching for this historic gem in centuries to come.
