The Internet As It Was in 2001 - Old Websites

I wish people used WebGL to create websites with 3d sections like how Vir2L used pre rendered 3d stuff in their V4 website version

Is there a way to look up certain boards for gameshark codes n64 because unlike today i know there were lots of codes?

i miss the sound from my 56k Modem.

Three Minutes before Content!? Come on man

That was early back in the day

Site name please

We cannot go back in time to browse the old website. But it must be lived in the present and in the future.

It was also a very sad year with all those who were murdered on September 11th

i was born in 2000 and i didnt really use the internet until summer 2014

amazing!

The Wayback Machine is a godsend It truley is.

My insomnia began as staying up all night online!

I got online in 1995 so by the time 2001 rolled around I considered that the modern corporatized Internet. Oh boy… I had no idea what was around the corner lol

I was trying to look up some ezboards from back in the day but it wont work?

the internet used to be cool, until it became too cool for its own good.

This is very nostalgic. I miss surfing the web in the 90s. I used to watch flash movies, go on gaming forums, and look up products on their websites. I will never forget the static you hear when connecting to aol and the internet.

I miss your weekly soulful house shows! On point from start to finish!!! Thank you.

Twisted metal!

Where my leet haxors at? AOL progz by source?! Itz da syfa… mass mailers… spammers, pws.shs, Visual Basic 4.0 , WaReZ from limewire and Napster, downloading MIDI files of 311, god I miss the good ole days

craziest thing was everybody was using an irc client and there where so many, many scripts and addons for it.

Nice edit 🎉🎉🎉

I had dial up in 2001, AOL and this does bring back memories.
I remember GBA, Xbox and GameCube being released in 2001 along with the hype. I agree it was a fullstack year.
I was in secondary school and remember my sister talking about Windows XP.
Cheers Dan for taking time to do this video, it was a different world both technologically and real life (good & bad).

i used to use a few of those instant messengers.

Omg I didn't remember the Google old version which I met much years ago, when I was used to use Windows XP

Sorry bro, I have better things to do than play a tank game

im a retro player, i have a lot of retro hardware, and let me tell you guys,

Wme is far more stable then w98se.

even back then my work computer had Wme installed and i had no problems what so ever,

the problem is that a lot of people had really old hardware that were probably on their last legs and also there was a big capacitor problem in the 2000's so there were a lot of bsod's
companies pretty much made Wme a scapegoat.

data is precious

Damn if only to go back for a day. I was 10 years old and got a platinum gameboy advance and pokemon crystal. Something about seeing these images just squeezes my heart. It's like for just the tiniest fraction of a second you can almost feel IT again. I don't even know what "IT" is really. Just some odd connection to the time.

I miss it

I miss the old days man😪

I had a CD shaped portable CD player. So glad when I got a Touch.

Windows XP was my first computer

100,000? They have over 6.5 million articles today.

Not to mention cable internet so no more slow dialup messing up the phone

Pokemon Crystal!

I wish someone would've shown me how to use an N64 controller when it was in stores

It was also the year the Dreamcast left us </3 RIP

In the 2000s the main discussion was being done on forums. Now i feel most of the internet discourse occurs in the social media platforms.

Back in the day when EBay was honest…now you have to be careful 😂

wow i completely forgot about google groups. back when newsgroups were popular-ish

A lot of nostalgia here. I didn't get my first glimpse of the web until maybe 2003 and I was hooked at it's wide scope of content.

Love these kind of videos

I used to throw these free AOL CDs like frisbees down my backyard balcony on the neighbor’s tile roof to see them shatter.

PLEASE DO 2007!!!!!!

I want to go back to 2001

Whitelisting the way back machine means you can access the way back machine without the proxy!

Please do this with the years 2005 2006 2007 2008 and 2009 please

It such a shame you can't search for anything on old versions of google

I wasn’t around during this time, but this feels so nostalgic.

Man does this bring back memories, I used to visit the Apple website daily debating on giving them a try. I eventually switched when OSX Jaguar came out, bought a G3 IBook and an IPod 2nd gen as I was away at school. Here I am 20 years later and still using Mac’s wishing that Apple would have some “fun” in designing their products like they did back then.
