Reminiscing over the web in 1996

This article is not exactly new, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s about how the online world worked back in 1996 (written in 2009). The Jurassic period of the web, as the piece’s author calls it was, obviously, very different from what we live in today. There were no YouTube, Facebook, Twitter or Wikipedia – the sites that defines our current daily paths on the internet -, let alone Google, or even Hotmail that were to be launched in the upcoming months and years.

The point of the article, of course, is that if we find it so amusingly remote how the web looked like thirteen (now fourteen) years ago, will we find it amusing how the web worked in 2010, when we look back on it in ten – fifteen years?

The pace of development, is, obviuosly huge, technologies change, big players come and go, but if you ask me, the answer to that very question is no.
