Story of the old net

In 1989, a british scientist named Tim Berners Lee created the World Wide Web, WWW for short.
A few years later, there were a variety of web browsers, Netscape Navigator being one of them. In 1994,
Beverly Hills Internet was made, it was a web hosting site, it was then renamed to GeoCities. Due
to the '80s through '90s being a colorful time, sites were very asthetic and personalized.
GeoCities was then sold to Yahoo! and shut down, freezing all of the "Under Construction" sites.

Decreasing Color

It's now the 21st century, everything is turning
from a colorful wacky mood to a more "futuristic" dull grey mood.

BBtOW is not affilated with McDonald's in ANY WAY, this is just for reference.

This shows how boring everything is getting, the world is turning from a vivid eccentric geometric shape, to a gray box.
