Does anyone else feel like the internet in the early 90s was a bit better in some ways than now? At least surfing the web. That shot use to be like having a dark art. Not everyone had it. I remember having to use mamma.com and Altavista search engines and that shit used to find secret stuff that no one knew about, like you could literally find anything. Now it all seems programmed.
Altavista was the GOAT old school search engine.
The web in the 90's had more of a sense of community. It was new, people were stretching their legs and claiming a space for themselves through places like Geocities, Angelfire, and Tripod. There was more of a sharing environment back then. Cats would throw up info on those old sites just to be able to help the next man that had the same question they had and not for financial gain either, all that info was free. Nowadays everything is a money grab. 23844234 ads just to view the solution to a problem you may have had and the only reason it was even posted was to generate money.
Yeah the old web didn't look as slick as it does now, but I still miss it the way it used to be.
