The world in 2001
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008For Google’s 10th birthday they brought back their oldest available index. Cue back 7 years, to the year 2001 and SEARCH!
Searching the index of the world is kinda weird. I am nowhere on the net. I only started using the net more regularly around 2003. I was 12 in 2001. What business would I have on the net then? I was playing Pokemon for crying out loud. 
Compared with the Internet Archive, we have literally entered a time portal!
But after some searching I find it truly amazing to see just how much our world has changed in only 7 years’ time. I find it exciting how fast our times are moving. Today, where things like YouTube, Facebook and the Ipod permeate our existence, it didn’t even exist then.
I would like to take this opportunity to toast my future self, because he is living in a much more awesome time. Who knows what awesome lies around the corner in these times of rapid change!
