My favorite part about the internet is that all of these things are still there for the most part. The early internet has enshrined itself as an immortal; the most ancient of memes remain passed down by word of mouth and nostalgia decades later, and even more people find them by the simple fact that once you've caught up there's no place to go but backwards. 20 years from now there will be people finding out that the Wild Web was actually a thing, and finding out they have the ability to see firsthand what it was really like; impact-font memes and troll comics and Rickrolls and Strong Bad emails and Leekspins and almost thirty years of people having fun. I don't cry because it's over. I smile because it happened.
