![Share Your Memories of The Internet in 1996 [OPEN THREAD]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/06eAV5pilpYlkAp45S1Uros/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647020231.jpg)
The conversation sparked by our story Internet of Yesterday & Today: 1996 vs. 2011 took the Mashable staff on a trip down memory lane. The time when the Internet was in its infancy was one of excitement, endless possibilities, obnoxious blinking GIFs, and impossibly slow modems.
To jog your memories, thanks to the wonderful website Geocities-izer, we give you what Mashable would have looked like circa 1996.
We at Mashable have our own memories of the Internet when it was young, and members of the Mashable community have already shared theirs. But we want to hear more.
