How Websites Changed Over the Years
It's pretty interesting to see how websites changed over the years. In the early '90s, websites generally look pretty basic, and if you're old enough, you would probably remember GeoCities and all their flashy icons and animated GIFs. These days, most websites look a lot more polished and cleaner.
Take radioshack for example. Below are some links to how their website looked like in the past, in 3-year increments. Try not to visit all the links at the same time, there is a small chance you might get blocked if you do, like how I was.
