One of the world's pre-web technologies that kept well track of data and records was called and archive. Typically, it would be a room with hundreds of folders categorize numerically and alphabetically. With this in mind, one of my favorite websites that resembles an archive is the Wayback Machine (https://archive.org/web/). This is basically an online archive that keeps a glance of how a web page looked throughout the years as you can glance trough specific dates and times. For example, you can be navigating YouTube from 2006 as you can access its links, and even interact with some features. Just like in real life, archives might go missing or corrupted; the Wayback Machine experiences the same thing as sometimes you may run into errors or missing time stamps on a website. Other than that, is a great website to examine how far graphic designing and technology have evolved as it keeps the history of the internet in a matter of clicks and seconds.
