I came across this old website that was used for generating websites in the '90s and 2000s, it has been outdated since 2009, and even has the old PayPal, X- formerly twitter and Facebook logos. (https://www.angelfire.lycos.com/)
According to research, the CERN Project created in by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991 was the first ever website created, according to google it was restored in 2013 , so i looked it up using the link (https://line-mode.cern.ch/www/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html) though i really think it is very insecure and there are still lots of question marks about the link, at least that is what I think.
1. Outdated Website:
- Link: https://www.angelfire.com/
- Explanation: Angelfire was a popular web hosting service in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Many websites created during that time are now outdated or even defunct. Angelfire websites often feature outdated designs, information that is no longer accurate, and broken links. The information on these websites is likely no longer relevant.
2. Timeless Website:
- Link: https://www.nasa.gov/
- Explanation: NASA's official website is a great example of a website that has remained relevant and informative for many years. While some specific pages may be outdated, the overall site provides accurate and up-to-date information on space exploration, scientific discoveries, and current missions. Even pages from several years ago can still be valuable resources for historical information or exploring past achievements.
This website was created in 2002. In this websites, we can find about dinosaurs, hovercraft, bike, scooter and cars. But this website is using incorrect color usage, lack of organized.

I found that website. This is too funny
https://www.webdesignmuseum.org
This website exhibits many old websites
I chose an article I found from Wired, that mentions the "Rise and Fall of Bitcoin", which is very clearly outdated, as it definitely hadn't completely fallen off by 2011, when it was written. You'd be a millionaire, buying even $500, at its highest point in 2011 where it peaked at $29.60. We're basically 2000x that now...

This Fidelity page from 2014, explaining crypto taxes appears to still be relevant and accurate. It may have been updated, but I wouldn't rush to assume so.

I found a couple of interesting old web pages to share. One is titled "The Future of Computers,' which was last updated in 2000. It makes some pretty wild predictions about computers being able to read minds by 2020. Obviously, that hasn't happened, so it’s a good example of how some tech predictions can be way off.
On the other hand, I found a page called "The Evolution of the Internet," which was last updated in 2016. It covers the key developments in the Internet's history and its impact on society. This information is still relevant and insightful today.
The first website I thought about is space jam https://www.spacejam.com/1996/.
This website has been outdated since 1996 and doesn’t reflect modern web design standards.
Another website that came to my mind is craigslist. This site is poorly designed and outdated and could really use some improvement at better filtering usage and categorization.
The first website I thought about was Craigslist. I got my dog off of this website about 11 years ago, and the logo and everything about it still look the same.
I googled poorly designed websites and the Yale School of Art website popped up. I must say this is quite ironic. For a school with such a prestigious reputation, their art school website looks like a middle schooler made it.
...is an example of an article still holding relevance today, as its topic has become even more relevant with the uprising of AI.
https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2010/11/setting-the-stage-for-roe-v-wade/
...is an example of a news article becoming outdated, as since then the case has been overturned.
Topic: So yesterday ...
When I read think of old websites, these two came to mind. Craigslist.org and Myspace.com
Craigslist.org, while outdated still holds some pretty relevant information, but mainly due to it’s nature of it being a marketplace. Otherwise I’m sure a lot of the posts there would be as ancient as the first computer.
"Myspace.com, on the other hand, has not aged as gracefully. Upon visiting the landing page, you'll quickly notice that it feels like a relic of the past, featuring old pictures of trending artists from the 2010s—some of whom no longer have profile pictures. This outdated design is horrendously displayed on their landing page!
1. Outdated webpage
Link: http://web.archive.org/web/20080101010101/http://www.old-computer-museum.com/
This link points to a webpage snapshot from January 1, 2008, stored in the Internet Archive, belonging to a hypothetical "Old Computer Museum" website. Please note that the date (January 1, 2008) and website name here are examples, and the actual date and website may be different. Because this webpage snapshot is from a long time ago, it may contain information about computer hardware and software that is outdated or no longer in use. This information may be interesting for understanding the development history of computer technology, but it is no longer accurate or applicable in the current technological environment.
2. Webpage with a date more than 5 years ago but still correct
Link: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra-basics
This link points to the "Algebra Basics" course page on Khan Academy. Khan Academy is a well-known platform that provides free online educational resources. Its course content is carefully designed and reviewed to ensure accuracy and educational value. Although this page may have been created or last updated more than 5 years ago, the basics of algebra are universal and timeless, so the teaching content on the page is still correct and applicable to learners.
1. Outdated Information: The "10 IT Trends to Watch in 2008" page on Computerworld (link: computerworld.com) is an example of an outdated resource. While some concepts, like cloud computing and mobile devices, are still relevant today, the predictions for 2008 (like the rise of “new computing platforms”) no longer hold true, and the site hasn't been updated since 2008. This page reflects trends that are now outdated and largely irrelevant in the modern tech landscape.
2. Still Relevant: The Wayback Machine (link: archive.org) is a digital archive that’s been running since 2001. This tool captures snapshots of websites over time, allowing users to access older versions of websites. While the interface may look a bit dated, the fundamental technology and concept behind it are still incredibly relevant for historical research or accessing past webpages that are no longer available online.
This is a website for ads and listing. However, it has not been updated since 2019 and yet the listings are still there which make user confused.https://www.pennysaverusa.com/
This is an interesting website about Carl the fog, or fog at San Francisco State University. Even though it was created 30 years ago in 1994, it is still actively updating images of the fog.
1. http://playingcards.wikidot.com/
This website is no longer in service but was once a wiki dedicated to different playing card decks, spanning information anywhere from origin to appearance. The images that are attached that depict some of the card designs are now outdated as they were updated after 2012, which was when the site was last updated.
2. https://www.dolekemp96.org/main.htm
This was the first presidential campaign to establish an official website, helping to set a precedent for future political campaigns. And though its primary purpose was to provide information about Bob Dole's policies and campaign activities, the website has remained live for many years after the campaign.

Old global network navigator website. Upon arrival to the site you can tell it was from 1993. Not much use for this site anymore, but a glimpse into how things were before the Y2K surge.
Coverage.com was a site used to check auto insurance rates. I have not seen it in circulation but it still has the functionality to check rates. I'm afraid to do so. Wouldn't want hackers to tap into my computer, lol!
https://itcorp.com/ This website is old and outdated. Also, horribly created. It's old and can be accessed. It is also hilarious how they describe things on here. It's like it's just on the internet to be on the internet.
https://www.fogcam.org/ This website is also old but still valid. It is the oldest webcam in the world and still gets updated every 20 seconds with live footage. If you would like to catch a glimpse at the San Francisco fog, look no further!
The website, http://www.geocities.com/ , is so old it cant even be accessed anymore. I searched it up and it was a web hosting service in the late 1990's and 2000's.
But, the website, https://science.nasa.gov/mars/ , is also really old but still has good information. The site is more than 5 years old but is still consistently updated with new findings and resources.
This is MIT's largest and the oldest newspaper with it providing its news services for quite a long time well before the internet, it then became published online in 1993 and has since been providing news to this very day with relevant topics being discussed given the time it that certain issue was published.
ICCE/ICCAI 2000 -- Background (archive.org)
Thanks to the internet archive I found this website that only lasted from 2000-2003 and was about the International Conference on Computers in Education and how they strived to spread the knowledge of the use of information technology in education throughout the Asia pacific Region, its interface is quite updated and did not last long and has since been forgotten for the last 2 decades with its last post occurring in 2003.
Dole/Kemp '96 Campaign Site - This is one of the earliest examples of a political campaign site, found at http://www.dolekemp96.org. Created for Bob Dole's presidential run in 1996, the site is very simple by today’s standards, with a basic layout, minimal imagery, and small blocks of text. It’s fascinating to see how early political websites were more about basic information-sharing than the complex social media integrations and multimedia we see now.
Craig’s List - Found at https://craigslist.org, this site has been around since 1995 and hasn’t really changed much since its early days. The design is incredibly minimal, with a text-heavy layout and links galore, sticking to a format that looks straight out of the 1990s. Yet, its simplicity is what makes it so functional and loved by users for classified ads, housing listings, and local services. It's a testament to how sometimes, sticking with the basics can be a winning strategy.
This website is unreliable and outdated because when you go into it, the format flashes you with its goofy bright colors, and most links don't work. This website was copyrighted in 2004.
https://www.howcast.com/page/about
This website is helpful because it mainly aims to show "how to" videos about anything you search for instead of reading instructions. This website was founded in 2008 and, to this day, is still updated.
