One thing is for sure, I sure do not miss the Internet of old. I love being able to type something in the browser and getting tons of links. That wasn't always so. I remember having to have an entire address to get to a site.
Google groups (alt news groups back in the day) and you can do a search, the earliest date is in the 80's.
internet archive/wayback machine? what's that!!! i'm interested!
btw i LOVE nostalgia
It doesn't have to mean everything from way back, it can be just some things, and perhaps discovering what they were or something. Bren, I love vinyl records but I'd rather not go to the year of the events of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
I don't always sit back, looking on things just wishing. Sometimes I like to stand, jog, or walk about!
I love nostalgia but only in moderation i don't think people should be living in the 1800's with parachute pants and listening to Perry Como on vinyl :P
