From around 2008 until 2015, as the internet gained users by the hundreds of millions, viral videos were all the rage. When the very first YouTube video was uploaded, on April 23, 2005, not many people had video cameras, let alone the then-revolutionary delivery system of “broadband” access. This is so cool!

I signed up for Facebook before many – in 2005 – when I first moved back to the US. So throughout 2006/07 when I had really young kids Facebook was truly a social network for sharing family moments.
