In this case I could alter that to: "You will know what nostalgia truly is, when you see a younger generations representation of nostalgia and you can point out all the anachronisms in it."
Netscape 3 and websites that looked like that: 1996
Geocities: 1994-1999 (so far so good)
jQuery: 2006
Blink: 2013
- amatecha 5y agoI think by Blink they meant <blink> ... wait... I hope!
- seaish 5y agoThat steven universe gif: 2016
- indrora 5y agoBlink, the tag, dates back to the 1994 or so: http://www.montulli.org/theoriginofthe%3Cblink%3Etag http://www.montulli.org/theoriginofthe%3Cblink%3Etag That's what they're referring to in the page. In 2006, I was reading [HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible](https://www.amazon.com/HTML-XHTML-CSS-Bible-3rd/dp/0764557394 https://www.amazon.com/HTML-XHTML-CSS-Bible-3rd/dp/076455739...), which was new-ish at the time and using Netscape as a daily browser, building sites using GeoCities. There were precursors to jQuery (cssQuery, for instance) that made it possible to do some things that Flash was too heavy for but you couldn't do in pure CSS. And you bet your ass we were still building flashy, wild sorts of sites like that. Still do! Absolutely go check out stuff like Neocities.
- KwanEsq 5y agoHuh. When I read that I assumed Blink referred to the <blink> tag, but reading again you might actually be right that it means Google's browser engine. Truly anachronistic indeed.
- croon 5y agoI would've written that as <blink> though, but outside of that it would make more sense, yeah.
