With the advent of Web 2.0 and the evolution of the web as a whole I started to wonder: How far has the web come from its humble inception? Luckily Archive.org can provide a portal into our past, looks like we don’t need Doc from Back to the Future after all. Below are some interesting comparisons, I hope you enjoy.

This begs the question: What will websites look like in 2020? Will we be up to web 5.0? Will Google control the internet?
