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”
Whitehouse.gov
Yahoo
I hope you enjoyed the list.
