One of my favourite books as a child was The Rough Guide 2.0: The Internet and World Wide Web. It’s crazy how much has changed in 27 years and I hope this post helps you take a trip down memory lane. Or if you weren’t around in 1996 it provides a glimpse of what the emergent days (dial-up days) of the internet were like.

The internet felt so different until MySpace took over. I was still young, but I remember running like 3 Geocities sites, one that got fairly popular, and the social media came along and ended everything about the old internet.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
