Description
Remember when websites had visitor counters, guestbooks, blinking GIFs and “Best viewed in Internet Explorer”? Evolution of the Web lets you travel through the internet one era at a time, from the early ’90s all the way to a speculative 2040. Every era changes the design, technology, interactions and culture of the site itself. How many eras of the web do you remember?
