In the very close future, video broadcasting will be the most ubiquitous and accessible form of communication. The tools for video recording will continue to become smaller and more affordable. Personal media devices will be universal and interconnected. People will have the opportunity to record and share video with a small group of friends or everyone around the world.
Today, 100 hundred of new video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. This will continue to grow exponentially as more of our people get access to the internet. Our goal is to allow every person on the planet to participate by making the upload process as simple as placing a phone call. This new video content will be available on any screen – in your your living room or in your pocket. And YouTube will bring together all the diverse media which matters to you, from videos of family and friends to news, music, sports, cooking and more.
In just about 8yrs of years of existence, YouTube has united hundreds of millions of people who create, share, and watch video online. In the nearest future, users will be at the center of their video experience, you will have more access to more information, and the world will be a smaller place.
