I'm so glad it's there as a resource! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-life-before-youtube#post-494410 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:26:09 +0000 JoJoGirl 494410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Haha okay. Then I guess I should give a warning it uses foul language :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-life-before-youtube#post-494401 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:24:20 +0000 Bao 494401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use YouTube more for "how to" type things, and the occasional silly/popular video at the time. DH uses YouTube a ton, mostly for his music stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-life-before-youtube#post-494396 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:22:14 +0000 mrbee 494396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: the auto embed is a feature we built!

I honestly don't even use YouTube that much. I remember life before we had internet. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-life-before-youtube#post-494377 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:16:51 +0000 JoJoGirl 494377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha.. of course. I remember getting the original "Spirit of Christmas" Christmas card that eventually became the South Park series by attachment via email when I was in college. Only computer guys were getting it back then so I was lucky to have my brothers to clue me in :) I remember being SHOCKED it was getting picked up and turned into a show because we watched that 5 minute clip on repeat for like a week straight!</p> <p>ETA: Aw. Here it is. Such nostalgia! ETA AGAIN: Sorry, didn't think it would embed! Do I have to delete it? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-npltBVgAM" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-npltBVgAM</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-life-before-youtube#post-494374 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:16:29 +0000 mrsjazz 494374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Yes, I believe that was when I had to train pigeons to send my friends mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-life-before-youtube#post-494370 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:15:08 +0000 mrbee 494370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: There was life before email? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-life-before-youtube#post-494369 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:14:17 +0000 mrsjazz 494369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love YT. I use it almost daily. And yes, I do remember life before YT as that wasn't many years ago. I remember life before e-mail! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-life-before-youtube#post-494312 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:01:10 +0000 autumnlove 494312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use it very much but my dad is obsessed with it. I asked him something about a recipe and he asked me if I knew about a website called YouTube! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-life-before-youtube#post-494306 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:58:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 494306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really... I was a teen at the time so I didn't need YouTube lol! I remember the days of not having Internet. We played out side every day, all day.</p> <p>My younger siblings are significantly younger (8 and 15 years) and they are growing up with Internet which means they're always playing on the computer or watching tv. It feels like a completely different generation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-life-before-youtube#post-494292 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:55:42 +0000 mrbee 494292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People were always sending huge video files around, and whenever you tried to play them then the computer say you were missing a codec... ahhhhh!!!!!</p> <p>YouTube launched in 2005 and changed all that. I'm amazed that they're still on top almost a decade later!</p> <p>Do you remember life before YouTube? Do you use the site very much? </p>
