While enjoying my 45 minute drive to work this morning (I hope you can hear the extreme sarcasm in my voice), I eagerly awaited my guilty pleasure of hearing the “Today in History” segment that Rock 103 does ever so poetically. They always seem to intrigue me in the things they choose to tell. Sure enough they did today but in a delightful way. I always love hearing something I can use in my classroom and well sometimes it is hard to find things that are relevant and/or interesting. Okay, I’ll stop rambling - I warned you I do this frequently. They announced that YouTube officially began 6 years ago today. However, it wasn’t Beta launched until May of 2005 (please don’t ask me what it means I just googled it) and wasn’t completely launch for full public use until December of 2005. But who really cares about specifics? Anyhow, only 6 years ago? Wow, right? Its hard to remember the days before you could just pull up a video whenever you wanted... a commercial, a celebrity mishap, a song, a laughing baby, or even snow on the Ole Miss campus. So, I asked my students today how old they thought YouTube had been around. Their answers? Our future leaders responded with answers such as: 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, and every number between that. I will give them credit that most didn’t think it was over 20 years old - I mean goodness it wasn’t as old as me they said, geez thanks. Oh did I mention that I teach 12th grade? Some of these kids were in middle school when YouTube started, it was just 6 years ago. But then again I was told that I was not correct that Facebook is less than 10 years old too, hey what do I know anyway?
So I thought I would share some of my favorite YouTube videos with you all... Just think what we would all be missing without these? Enjoy :)
Who can resist "Charlie Bit My Finger" - If you haven't seen this, I have no clue where you have been hiding the past few years...
And this baby laughing is just so adorable... if you don't smile while watching this, I'm pretty sure you aren't human.
Last baby one I promise... But can you just see this poor child when he is in high school? He will forever be known as the Baby dancing to Beyonce (at least he had good taste)
The very beginning of the Evolution dance...
Which then led to multiple wedding dances like this...
Then who can forget "Don't tase me, Bro!" - to which I might add he later admitted he was never tased
Okay, I'm sorry South Carolina but I couldn't resist...
No, this isn't my little man but it is an Italian Greyhound doing what they do best! It just reminds me of Toddy:
I have come to the conclusion that people have too much time on their hands:
And any Ole Miss fan can appreciate this:
and the last one.... BASEBALL SEASON IS ALMOST HERE!
Hotty Toddy! that is all for Lisa Lately
