Why a man at the zoo changed the Internet.

Hands up who knows why the video below is important?



If you said it was the first video uploaded to YouTube then you're spot on and deserve a biscuit.
The astonishing thing is that the video is less than 5 years old.

I'm fascinated by YouTube. I'm fascinated by the fact that people can talk to webcams, I'm fascinated by the notion of a YouTube 'hit' and also by the idea of a 'YouTube community'.

Learning Resources at UoB has produced a series of 60 second videos for YouTube which you can view here. I can't promise you CGI madness but you may find out something new.

That's the thing about YouTube; it can be about research, connecting with people, home videos and teenage boys falling off skateboards. It's only limited by our imaginations.
