YouTube‘s first video is more than 18 years old, but it recently received an update that brought it in line with contemporary digital content trends. Jawed Karim, the YouTube Co-Founder who turned a herd of elephants into a piece of history, uploaded a new thumbnail for “me at the zoo” earlier this year.
In 2005, Karim kicked off the YouTube era with a 17-second clip set at the San Diego Zoo.
