Think back to your Internet habits a few years ago (hello, MySpace). Does everything seem different now?

That's probably because it is.

A decade ago, the Internet was a completely different place. Facebook had just made its debut and our precious Twitter was about to be born. Since then, they and other popular websites have been revamped and tricked out to satisfy the eyes and needs of the immense traffic they draw.

Check out this infographic made by Robert Morris at NinjaEssays, which compares what some of our favorite websites looked like in their first iterations with how they look now.

Call it the yearbook of websites. (And Google is definitely that one person who never ages.)
