What Percent of Us Have Uploaded a Video? Why?

One in four people (25%) of Americans have uploaded a video, according to a recent Pew Research report.

That’s driven by two factors:

• Mobile — more than 40% of us record video on our cell phones and 40% watch videos on our tiny screens.
• Social media uptick going from 8% in 2005 to 72% in 2013.

The percent of online adults who watch or download videos has also grown from 69 in 2009 to 78 in 2013. Here’s a little video of results, although I’ve pretty much stolen its thunder.
