Die letzten drei Jahrzehnte waren von bahnbrechenden technischen Umwalzungen gepragt. Vom ersten Desktop-Rechner bis zur virtuellen Realitat ist das Web aus unserem Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken. Die Anfange waren jedoch gepragt von technischer Pionierarbeit: die erste Website mit Surround-Sound, Navigation per ,drag and drop", nahtlose Videoeinbindung, virale Sites, Parallaxeneffekte, Gesichtserkennung, mobile Integration und Video-Sharing-Plattformen wie YouTube. Uber 200 Websites illustrieren die Geschichte des Internets von seinen Anfangen bis heute, erganzt durch Zitate und Erlauterungen von Pixelpionieren wie Jonathan Gay, Gabo Mendoza, Yugo Nakamura, Peter Van den Wyngaert, Joshua Davis und Eric Jordan. Diese Bildchronik umfasst 21 Kapitel, die fur jedes Jahr seit 1998 die besten Websites und genutzte Hardware vorstellen und aufzeigen, wie Benutzererlebnis, Benutzerfreundlichkeit und technische Errungenschaften die Entwicklung des Internets gepragt haben. Daten und Fakten, Google-Insights und Kategorien wie ,Schlagzeilen zum Weltgeschehen" oder ,neue Soft- und Hardware" fuhren den Leser durch die Geschichte. Diese Sammlung bietet eine virtuelle Reise in die jungere Vergangenheit und ist ein umfassendes Nachschlagewerk fur alle Generationen, das die kreativen Kopfe wurdigt, die das Web einst erfanden und unsere Welt veranderten.

Synopsis:

The last three decades have marked an era of technological upheaval as frenetic and groundbreaking as there ever has been. From early desktop computers and mobile phones to virtual reality: the web is now virtually inseparable from all facets of human interaction and daily life. But it wasn’t always funny cat videos and sleek interfaces.

This collection is a visual journey through time, gathering the very earliest examples of what we today take for granted: the first website to use surround sound, the first drag-and-drop navigation, the first page-turn effect, the first website to use seamless video integration, the first viral site, the first parallax website, the first ‘upload-your-face’ website, the first site to incorporate a mobile phone, the first ever YouTube-like “website”, and many more.

It gathers more than 200 websites, and each comes with quotes and insights from the creators themselves—an invaluable peek into the minds of pioneers who paved the pixelized way for many to follow, including Jonathan Gay (Flash), Gabo Mendoza (Gabocorp), Yugo Nakamura (Yugop), Peter Van Den Wyngaert (NRG.BE), Joshua Davis (Praystation), and Eric Jordan (2Advanced).

This comprehensive visual history gathers 21 chapters that detail, for every year since 1998, the best websites and examples of hardware used at the time, and explore how user experience, usability, and technological milestones have influenced the development of the internet we use today. Year-by-year factsheets and smart Google insights orient the reader through major developments across such categories as world news headlines, highest grossing films, new soft and hardware, greatest website traffic, and many more.

For many, this collection will offer a virtual trip down nostalgia lane—but all generations will find a sweeping reference work as well as a celebration of how the earliest creative minds came to define the web, and eventually the world, as we know it.
