Computer and Web Articles

Here’s a fun little distraction for you the next time you’re waiting for an email, watching a slooooow progress bar inch forward, or whiling away the time after that customer service representative says “May I put you on hold for a moment?”

Here’s what you do.

1. Go to www.YouTube.com
2. Type your birth year into the search box at the top of the page
3. Hit the Search button
4. Check out the videos of all that happened the year you were born

Whether you were born yesterday (in which case I must say, “Good job, you precocious youngster, for reading this article!”) or you were born long before video was around, I’d wager you’ll find the results quite entertaining.

(An alternative version of this game is to drop in the year you graduated from high school; that’s really a fun one.)
