I've just read this fantastic piece on the development of the BBC website since it's inception in 1997. Above is the original homepage.
For me, this picture says so many things about the state of digital in 1997 but also just how important and progressive the BBC has been in understanding the potential of online as a platform for its complete spectrum of output.
In a weird way it's made me a bit nostalgic. Never again will i have to spend 5 hours on Napster to download one james brown track or ask my parents if I can 'dial up' and then have to explain what I'm doing on there anyway. It's easy to forget how much has been accomplished in such a short period of time.
