Some of the interactive stuff on old BBC election coverages still almost work to this day. Hard to imagine that with many sites now 20 years on. It's not even that it;s impossible with the technology, it's probably closer to how writing got worse after the invention of the word processor. Every thing is managed and structured now so the freedom / bubble needed to make things good in a way that can't be easily explained is gone.
