You know how it is with technology – once something becomes so ubiquitous and so universally used, it is simply impossible to imagine life without it.
For instance, just how did we organise our lives without mobile telephones and emails? Did we really rely on landlines without answerphones and write letters to one another? It wasn't that long ago, and yet somehow I struggle to believe that we did!
And how did we survive without YouTube? What did you do a few years ago if you wanted to look up an old TV clip or post some funny nonsense for the rest of the world to waste its time on?
That's the premise of this amusing skit, "YouTube in 1985". A man rings in to submit his latest video. "VHS or Betamax?" asks the girl in the office, before reading him a couple of comments on his previous effort – from a book. "Just get your tape in the mail ASAP – rumour has it our company's really going to be big soon." Well, it took a couple of decades.
