Back in 1996 the Web was starting to gain some serious momentum, but it was still just a few years old. Now in 2008, looking 12 years back into the past of the Web can be a both nostalgic and entertaining experience.
To give you some perspective, in 1996…
Google.com didn’t exist yet.
In January 1996 there were only 100,000 websites, compared to more than 160 million in 2008.
The web browser of choice was Netscape Navigator, followed by Microsoft Internet Explorer as a distant second (Microsoft launched IE 3 in 1996).
Most people used dial-up Internet connections with mighty speeds ranging from 28.8Kbps to 33.6Kbps. Highly modern 56Kbps modems would arrive in 1997.
People had only recently started to switch from 640×480 to 800×600 screen resolutions.
