On 23rd April 2005, the co-founder of YouTube– Jawed Karim uploaded an 18-second long video and led us into the new age entertainment revolution that literally changed our lives.

In this snippet, you can see a very young Jawed briefly describing and giving out pointers about the elephants behind him.
Honestly, I didn’t even realise how old this video is until it abruptly ended without a “like, share, subscribe” sign off.

The funny thing is, even though YouTube has evolved to become a whole different universe in itself, this video still remains the only one that has ever been uploaded on Karim’s channel.

I really cannot believe it has been 15 years since the first video was uploaded on YouTube.
