In less than 20 years, YouTube has changed the world.

While it seems like it’s been around forever, YouTube has only been around since 2005. Okay, for most of us, that is a lifetime.

You can find almost anything on YouTube, from funny videos to tutorials on how to do things. Want to know how to draw a house, cook a gourmet meal, or repair an engine? There are several of videos out there and the numbers keep growing.

While movie rentals are still a thing (think RedBox) and you can often stream movies, YouTube gives you the opportunity to watch some full-length movies right on your phone or computer.

YouTube can be a good resource for information and give you a visual on some of the more challenging aspects in life, like how to do math equations or find the perfect outfit for an upcoming date.

Besides watching all of these things on your own, you can also share and save videos to friends and family. Create a channel and you can even have strangers tap into the things that you find most interesting.
