Steve Chen is one of the most popular people, even if you don't know it, because he made YouTube. Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim made YouTube. He is a renaissance man because he made one of the most known websites in the United States. His first job was at 7-11 and at a grocery store when he was a teenager. He studied at the University of Illinois for computer science.

Steve Chen was born on August 18, 1978 in Taipei, Taiwan. He moved to Chicago at eight years old with his family. He started working at PayPal, he then met Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim (Steve Chen biography). All three of them got together and made YouTube In February 2005. YouTube is we're you can upload videos, share videos clips, and view videos.

YouTube became popular and there were 100 million views daily (Steve Chen biography). YouTube was ranked tenth most popular website after a year of being released. He then was one of the "50 people who matter now". In October 2006 Google bought YouTube for 1.65 billion dollars. YouTube is the most popular video sharing website out there.

Steve Chen was part of the Facebook making group but then left to make his own website. Google owns YouTube but Steve Chen stills works for YouTube. He is the chief technology officer at YouTube. YouTube has impacted many of people's lives by learning and seeing other countries, seeing how they live. It can also be used for music, and entertainment.

That's why I think Steve Chen is a renaissance man because YouTube will always be known. I think YouTube will be around a lot longer. YouTube is increasing in videos and views because a lot more people are using it.
