Overview

  • The internet has transformed the way we live, work, and study; and over the past few years, content available on the internet has evolved rapidly as well. A thing of the future in the era of slow internet speeds and spotty connectivity, video content has become an essential component of online media today. From product reviews to the latest news, professionals and amateurs alike are turning to video content in order to better connect with their audience. This change has taken a strong foothold in today's online world, and is in fact, making images and text obsolete in some cases. When it comes to watching or sharing videos, YouTube has become a recognizable brand around the globe. Simply put, YouTube is the new radio, TV, record store, magazine, and review guide rolled into one.

    More than 1 billion unique users visit YouTube each month, surpassing the number of human beings on the planet within a year by almost two to one. It is no wonder then, that YouTube has become the World's 2nd largest search engine, just after Google. While a few years ago you wouldn't believe this fact, today, users from over 50 countries upload video content in more than 60 different languages. A whopping 100 hours of new content are uploaded to YouTube every minute - that's nearly 6000 days of videos uploaded in each 24 hour period. Nearly 6 billion hours, or 250 million days, or more than half a million years of videos are watched on YouTube monthly. With these ridiculously large statistics, it is evident that YouTube has become more diverse and reaches a bigger audience than ever anticipated.
