I have no idea why I did this! (But who says you need a video camera to make videos for Youtube?)
Did they have celebrity gossip in 1906? They didn't have television or cinema. Was there radio? What, if anything, was the equivalent of the bikini-babe centre pic of a Youtube vid? They did have some pretty horrific traveling freak shows. The school leaving age was about 11, I think. Oh well, I suppose things move on. I posted this vid because it's really the opposite of what YouTube is all about. Or is it? YouTube is about... everything. There's room for everything and anything. (Within Terms of Service of course.) I'm not against skate-boarding dog vids.
Other things that happened in 1906:-
Theodore Roosevelt became the first American President to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
An automobile company called 'Rolls Royce Ltd' was registered.
SOS became an international distress signal.
The first submarine was launched.
John Betjeman, Estee Lauder and Otto Preminger were born.
World Wars hadn't been invented yet but local wars were very popular.
