Internet History

For the most part, my interest in the internet's history is in it's ideas, the concepts that can be salvaged from it's corpse and used to build a better future beyond the evil ass bullshit of what the mainstream web is right now. I'm not really into nostalgic web design, the aesthetics of old websites, and honestly feel like it's for the better that some of what they were doing has fallen out of favor. BUT THAT DON'T MEAN THOSE 88x31 BUTTONS DON'T GO HARD!!!

I have a bunch of WIP in-depth writings about the old internet saved to my hard drives, hopefully I will finish them sometime and put them here.
