When YouTubebegan in 2005 , it was a fresh idea that was started to share videos with loved ones. The goal was to design a website that people could use and share their most cherished videos. Nowadays, the YouTube website draws millions of users from all-over the globe and features a lot of things, from video blogging to viral videos that keep many subscribers hooked.
YouTube History
Like what I've said earlier, utube began in 2005. Its founders Chad Hurley, Jawred Karim and Steve Chen were all ex PayPal workers. The first idea was to design a website wherein the group could share the videos they've made in their friend's place in an convenient fashion. As things progressed with the company, they became a little more user friendly and thanks to million dollar capital, the company was able to develop into a remarkable online force. Just a little trivia, the very first video uploaded on YouTube was by Jawred Karim called Me at the Zoo.Although YouTube was later on bought out by Google in 2006, the original 3 founders all hold positions inside of the company.
Societies Reactions
There are many countries where YouTube has not been allowed. One of the main reasons is that the social message that is allowed doesn't protect all groups of individuals. With parody videos, for example, users can create an inappropriate personification of a nationality in "fun" that unaware audience might find appealing. One more thing is that there is access to defamatory content as well as items that represent religious personas in an inappropriate light as well.Even though these videso can be flagged, it is not a guarantee that these videos will be removed. Rather, they are given a special warning message before entering the video.
China, Pakistan and Libya are just some of the countries that have decided to ban access to this website.One more thing that has been noticed by many people is that YouTube gives no privacy for its users. Rather, IP location as well as viewing habits have been given to major companies in a way to keep track of the subscribers' viewing patterns.
The Future of YouTube
As the site keeps on moving forward, it is almost visible that the content will start to change as well. We've noted that 3D video has rapidly begun to make itself visible on the site. Actually, some of the newer televisions that has 3D technology have access to YouTube to give their users plenty of content that they can enjoy viewing as well.While there is no determining how long YouTube will stay the driving force for online video sharing, one thing is only certain that people agree on. As of now, it does offer some of the best video viewing options for people concerned. From general viral videos to informative videos, many people will continue to view all their favorites on this website and many will wait to see what the future of this website holds as well.
