I have vague memories of the many characteristics of the web
that Olia Lialina speaks of. Under construction especially resonates with me as
I can distinctly remember times when I’d be left at home with a computer to
browse and I’d more often run into these rather cute animations than a
functioning site. Being so young these instances were not so much of a bother
but rather were almost fun. I personally never really gave much thought about
how different the web functioned and how it looked compared to now, but sitting
here and reminiscing certainly builds a kind of nostalgia for a little bit of
time I experienced. However, from what I’ve seen as of recent we may be lucky
and get to experience this freedom once again. There are many sites becoming
popular on the web that allow users to customize their own personal pages. If
the demand for a renewal of the beginning of the web becomes great enough we
can perhaps see history repeat itself for a newer generation.
