I've discovered the internet still has cool stuff
Being a teenager in the late 90s and early 2000s the internet was still new and unfamiliar to a lot of people. At the time, people were still in the process of exploring its utility and determining a place for it in their lives and society as a whole. Even browser names reflected this point in time with names like 'Internet Explorer' or 'Netscape Navigator'. Names that were intentionally functional and metaphorical, as in navigating or exploring uncharted territory.
For that same reason, the internet lacked regulation and standards and it was also less commercially driven, which made it an excellent feeding ground for chaos and fragmentation, but also creative freedom. Over the years, as the internet has grown, this mindset didn't necessarily disappear, but just more harder to find.
Here's a list of things I recently found that I really appreciate:
