Pro tip: Check out the Wayback Machine for your hometown's first website
I used to think old websites were just outdated and pointless. On a whim, I looked up my city on the Wayback Machine and found a page from 1996. It was basically a digital brochure for local shops with plain HTML and tiny pictures of main street. Seeing how much has grown since then, both in how sites look and what stores are around, really stuck with me. In my experience, it's like a peek into a whole different era of the internet. Now, I browse archives to see how spots I know have been posted online over the years. Your mileage may vary, but for me, it's a neat way to touch base with the past. Take this with a grain of salt, but you might get hooked too.
