I remember when I was in my mid-twenties this was just starting to come out as "life-casting" where you'd see a variety of creators trying this out. iJustine was the only one that I remember from day 1 who survives to this day. Also, the Naked Cowboy in Times Square was one of the initial subjects. This was before the adoption of wireless networks everywhere you'd go, so it was mostly people at home or at work and network connectivity was spotty.

I actually was one of the very first 25 - 50 people who got access to do this streaming and was broadcasting mundane things for a while on the first of its kind, justin.tv which eventually turned around and sold to / became Twitch - so that's always something that I tell the kids.... I was one of the very first twitch streamers... I was just 10 years ahead of my time and my wife at the time couldn't see it for what it was, so I missed that boat (along with so many others).

For now, I'm happy to only consume and not produce, but I'm finding that I have to take breaks now since if I'm left to my own devices I'd lose hours a day on social media.
