Evolution of the Web

Mashable has a great history of the Web interactive that runs from 1990 to 2012. Select an item (eg., the Touch Events HTML5 specification from 2011) and you’re brought to resources specific to them on third party sites.

And it’s pretty too. Which is nice.

Kudos to Hyperakt and Vizzuality for pulling it together.

Select to embiggen but better to read through.

This is amazing—from 1994’s Netscape to 2008’s Chrome, check out this hugely informative graphic that maps the History of the Internet through the different browsers and technologies it used, and then tracks its growth over the years. We’re excited to see what great things will transform this chart even more over the next five or 10 years.
