I love how far the world has come over the past few decades. It is amazing how quickly you can get content up and online, and available to people.

Great post, I really think it highlights the power of technology and the appeal that it offers.

To be fair, this didn't contain anything that wasn't possible in 10 or even 20 years ago in one hour. The only thing that wasn't so straightforward 20 years ago (1995) was finding hosting for your page.
Not sure about 20 years ago, but 10-15 years ago finding hosting was pretty easy. You probably got some free from your dialup ISP (at least here in the UK). And everything else was substantially easier, because unstyled HTML was still considered perfectly OK. It's a shame the need for rounded corners and less legible colourschemes has pretty much killed the idea of the web as a read-write medium for the masses.
