It’s funny to look back only five years at the first YouTube video, "Me at the Zoo" (2005) by the site’s co-founder Jawed Karim, and consider Andy Warhol’s clichéd "15 minutes" in light of the Internet, YouTube, and 21st-century video art. As misguided as the concept unfortunately may be, fame is no longer relative to time and has rooted itself in participation, sharing, and community.
