Internet nostalgia

Google turns ten years old this month, which reminds us of how much fun it is to explore the "olden days" of the Internet on the The WayBack Machine, part of the Internet Archive.
The folks at the WayBack Machine have archived millions of web pages so you can look back nostalgically on how much simpler -- and often uglier -- were the early days of the World Wide Web.

Maybe you remember learning how to use Yahoo when it was mostly a long list of blue text on a white background

Looks like the New York Times didn't quite know what to do with a computer screen in 1996.

And take a look at the Stratford Library's first web page in 1998 -- we've come a long way!
