It’s amazing how YouTube has become a part of our everyday lives in just 5 short years. Talk about disruptive innovation. Just look at these statistics:
- 2 billion views every day
- 24 hours of video uploaded every minute
- The average person spends 15 minutes a day on YouTube
- More video is uploaded to YouTube in 60 days than all 3 major US networks created in 60 years
- Available in 24 languages
- 70% of traffic comes from outside the U.S.
These numbers would be mind blowing for a company celebrating its 50th anniversary let alone its 5th anniversary! Seldom does a piece of technology come to fruition that has such a global impact. The ability to upload and share video across the world for free has changed the way we go about our daily lives. That’s innovation at its finest.
