Want to see what the internet looked like back in 1996?
I have compiled some screenshots of the more popular sites. How do they compare to today’s versions?
Using the Wayback Machine I put together a list of the more popular sites. Did the internet really look this bad? Well it all had to start somewhere.

Altavista
AOL
Apple
BBC.co.uk
Lycos
McDonalds
Microsoft
MSN
NASA.gov
Netscape
Pizza Hut
Site Robo4
Wendy’s Homepage
Wendy’s “Hallway”

I hope you enjoyed the list.
What Next?
Looking for something else?

I just showed this to my daughter who couldn’t believe we dealt with this. When I told her it sometimes took a minute or two to load a page like this she just laughed! Times have changed!

The MSN one looks actually pretty modern. If it weren’t MSN, i’s date it with 2002+. Wait a minute… internet tutorial? Hilarious! Ahh, good old times
