A quick Google News search for "geriatric1927" conducted a moment ago reveals a plethora of links to publications - The Washington Post, Times Online and CNN Money, to name a few - discussing a man who goes by the name of "Peter."
Peter was born in 1927.
Peter is a quiet British widower.
Until about two weeks ago, not many people knew Peter.
Then Peter posted a video titled "first try" to YouTube, under the username geriatric1927. (See Peter's YouTube page.)
Since then, that and several subsequent videos have garnered well over two million views.
No other YouTuber on the planet has as many subscribers as Peter.
Now millions of people know geriatric1927.
What does Peter do in the videos? He mostly just talks about his life. Shares his experiences and his feelings and thoughts. Sits there in his home, just talking to the world.
That's why online media sharing isn't what you think. It's not about today's kids trying out new toys. It's about technology enabling people to communicate in new and more powerful ways.
And that's why you could be the next geriatric1927.
