And the watch page that is now in the possession of the Victorian Album Museum and I say in the possession it's difficult with digital things isn't it they've basically recreated it is that right?
Yeah with the help of a design agency they have basically replicated what it would have looked like not necessarily on that first day of YouTube either they have
taken a snapshot of it from December 2006.
So the view and the look of it had adapted somewhat.
But if you go back in time by looking at it through the exhibition, actually, there are an awful lot of things that are very similar to the YouTube page that we would recognize now.
So you have in the top left of the screen,
The video playing, the iconic scrubbing through that video that you can do to fast forward.
You also have on the right hand side a range of related videos.
Of course, now YouTube throws us into this endless torrent of videos and replays them constantly more after the other.
So very much a kind of relic of the past, but also recognizable, I think, to YouTube users these days.

An official promotional film about Schemo for the Olympics in Milan and Cortina.
It explains what attracts some of the world's top athletes to this gruelling sport.
In Schemo, the athletes sprint uphill with sticky material known as skins on their skis to provide traction.
They then remove the skis, put them in their backpacks and continue climbing on foot before a further uphill section on skis.
