Youtube improves

They say Youtube is top innovation of this decade. Youtube originally use to be 320X200 videos and took forever to load on old 56K modem connections. Streaming 1080 HD movies seemed like a fantasy. Back in 1999 I predicted that by 2009 most people would have broadband and do video over the internet. Also that terabyte drives would become common.

A debunker laughed and said T1 connection is $1000/month, and a good video camera is $20,000 so nobody is going to do video over the internet in 2009. Well, here we are, a max power quad core desktop is under $500, video editing software is free over the internet, cameras that shoot 1080 HD movies are less than $99, my high speed broadband connection is $10/month.

Youtube is a success, an epic win.
