Technology, particularly online technology, has become more and more sophisticated as each day goes by, with the online possibilities now potentially being beyond the imagination of those who first brought the internet in the world. The majority of these websites have been taken offline, to the relief of those of us who threw together a haphazard HTML-mess of a site back in the days of Geocities or Angelfire, but many websites have simply been abandoned as they are. Working like a digital Pompeii, somehow these websites haven't been cleared away and so offer a fascinating insight to the early internet - whether you remember it as it happened, or if you never knew that a professional website would look so shoddy. Some of these websites will be top-of-the-range, for their time. Websites for films like Wild Wild West and The Lost World will have been pretty high-tech, but absolutely do not hold up in any way, shape, or form when set against the comparative works of art that nearly every website is now. Others on this list, however, will be the often bizarre personal websites set up by those who had the skill and inclination to give the internet a go without having to web search every single HTML command (and well done to them). Regardless of these origins, we can all fairly strongly agree that old websites are hilarious, and hopefully will never be taken offline so that they can serve as a relic to simpler times (like The Amanda Show website, which has only recently been taken down, and which is a loss for us all).
