The internets have come a long way.

Remember back in the ’90s when the ‘internet’ was relatively new to the public and websites had little to no functionality?

Do you remember yesteryear’s hilarious clip art and site organization that makes today’s most lazy web design seem hip and fresh?

Well, friends.. Now you can experience it all again thanks to Internet Archive’s ‘WayBack Machine‘..

This site has archived 85 Billion web pages going back to 1996, and many of them are functional beyond just the front page.

Just enter the address of a website you enjoy, hit the ‘Take Me Back’ button, and see the website in all of its proto and beta glory..

Funny places to begin:

mcdonalds.com
whitecastle.com
yahoo.com
google.com
aol.com
excite.com

[Full Disclosure: I have wasted several hours today on this damn website..]
