How long have you been on the internet? Probably not as long as Yahoo or even Microsoft has been. If you’d like to take a step back into the past, visit today’s cool site so you can see what a certain website looked like.. Say.. 5 years back. Just go to the “Wayback Machine” at the Internet Archive.
For example, take a look at Microsoft.com back in 1996 compared to what it is today. It’s amazing how websites transform from something simple to complex sites.
Even better, pull up a search for worldstart.com and see what we looked like back in 1998. Neato.
If you can’t find a certain website, then you can always add it to their database for future comparison.
Cyn, I was going to ask if Internet Archive is a cool site for you. But I looked it up myself and found out way back in 2004 you entered it as a cool site. I looked up ‘”What should I read next” being a reader. Wow! Also, I’d used Internet Archive couple years ago to reload – Windows Live Photo Gallery. My download wasn’t working right. I even used Internet Archive to download for my husband as he’d never had it and should have organized his photos better. He doesn’t take anywhere the photos I take, but still his were a mess.
So maybe a refresher introduction to Internet Archive for all your new recruits. Have a great holiday season, Cyn. And thanks for all you give us, Trish
