Most of us probably got our Internet connection somewhere 10 years back. Websites We Visit: How They Look Like 10 Years Ago At the time, it was revolutionary enough to connect with the rest of the world and gain knowledge through a 14-inch monitor. In hindsight, Web 1.0 sites didn’t come close to what we have today, but we didn’t complain back then. Website designs were neither flexible nor creative due to the fact that everything was restricted by template-like HTML tool. The designs were awkward at best, with single color backgrounds and crude GIF images and animations that can only be placed in a certain fixed position. They’re static whatever is there on the page is just there. Visitors who chanced upon these pages can only read the contents but not actively participate in the site.
Unlike today’s highly interactive web pages such as forums, social networking sites, and video-sharing sites, these ‘old school’ websites provided information mostly in a one-way and passive manner. Remember those simple websites filled with GIFs and blue hyperlinks? That’s how life on the internet used to be. The web itself has replaced the practice of reading. The world has become tightly connected since the internet.
