A decade ago on Thursday YouTube made history when its co-founder Jawed Karim uploaded the site's first video.
The video-sharing site, which now boasts over a billion users, has risen to fame from small beginnings after Karim posted a 19-second clip on elephants and their "really, really long trunks."
Karim co-founded YouTube along with former PayPal employees, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen.
A self-professed nerd, the Bangladeshi-German internet entrepreneur was credited with having created PayPal's real-time anti-fraud system during his tenure with the company.
Obsessed with technology and learning, Karim originally dreamed up the concept of a video-sharing site. He became a millionaire after eBay purchased PayPal in 2002, but that was small change compared with the $64m cheque he received when Google acquired YouTube in 2006 for a whopping $1.65bn in stock.
YouTube debuted publicly days after that first upload and has since gone from strength to strength, with users from across the globe posting a reported 300 hours of new video every minute of the day (International Business Times), including music clips, cartoons, exercise manuals and movies.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
