And the internet back then was like the wild west. You could sense that it was not yet mainstream, but it was poppin little by little.
Here's the first ever youtube video. April 23, 2005. shyt, I remember playing in the park and reading newspapers that day, thats when John Paul II was dead or Benoit 16 the new pope was elected..
