Ebay through time
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This assignment was to look at how a website has changed over time. Take a look at eBay since 1999 (the year I was born) 1999: 2001: 2004: 2007: 2010: 2014: 2018: As you can see, Ebay has changed quite a bit over time for the last 19 years. The amount of ads on the eBay page has increased greatly. The colors and eye-catching parts of the website also had increased. There is also less reading on the page as time went on which was very strange.
Take a Trip Down Web Lane

This blog is my submission to an assignment called Way Back Time Machine found in the web assignments section of the ds106 website. The assignment itself struck out to because of the name of the title ‘Way Back Time Machine’. I found this assignment unique because most of the assignments require us to create a piece of digital media, whereas this is more of a research assignment and the piece of media we create is the story and screenshots we provide along the way in our blog. The aim of this assignment is to use the WayBack website tool provided in the assignment brief. ...
LLBean Website Flashback
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I visit LL Bean on those occasions when I just need really, really well-made clothing that’s actually meant to last outdoors. In fact, I just got two new flannel shirts for the winter, plus two camisoles. Only two, because LL Bean is sadly expensive, and even though my mom treated me, I still don’t like spending money. So when I saw the 2 star Way Back Time Machine, I knew immediately what website I wanted to present. SO: PRESENTING THE 1996 VERSION OF THE LL BEAN WEBSITE Wow. Flashback to the early days of the internet. I mean, I started ...
Target.com Waaaaaay Back

For my last assignment, I chose to use the way back time machine to look at the Target website in the past and today. It is listed as 2 stars, but I would say it’s worth 1 star because all you have to do is type the address in. The earliest I could find a good screenshot was in 1999: It looks a lot more modern than I was expecting! Here is the website in 2016: Biggest difference was that basically every website today has their categories under a drop down menu. It definitely makes websites more aesthetically pleasing! This assignment was ...
Vintage WMWC Radio
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I am the technician for the radio station on campus, WMWC Radio, and I love it. We are the oldest club on campus, although no one knows we exist. For this assignment, I decided to look at how the WMWC website has changed over time. I used Wayback Machine to go back and see previous versions of the WMWC homepage, which was awesome because I was able to find versions of the website all the way back to 1996. Click on the photos below to see what WMWC’s website looked like (the date of the photos are in the url): ...
Wayback When UMW’s Website Was Young…
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I was first drawn to this assignment simply by reading the title. I had heard of the Wayback machine, but had never used it myself. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so! The first thing to do was select a website to examine. Originally I considered Wikipedia, but then the idea of examining the school website struck me. This seemed like a great way to make the assignment especially engaging to other UMW students by using a website that is relevant to them. In terms of assignment completion, please note that I opted to use the snipping tool to ...
Some Things Never Change
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
????? For my first assignment from the Assignment Bank for DS106, I’ve decided to do the Wayback Machine Assignment. I’m supposed to use the Wayback Machine to look at versions of a website in the past, and compare it with later versions. Instead, I’ll be looking at a website that doesn’t have versions to compare. Space Jam was released in November of 1996. Warner Bros. had a website created to promote the film, a bold move at the time. In 1996, there were 36 million internet-users. In 2016, there are 3.6 billion (a 100-fold increase in 20 years). For this relatively small audience, the ...
ESPN Time Machine
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Another assignment I chose to complete is the Way Back Time Machine. The assignment called for “Using the Way Back Time Machine website on Internet Archive, take screen shots of a favorite website overtime. Then, look at how the website has changed for better and worse.” The site I chose to analyze is ESPN , and I am going to check the site’s progression in 2 year intervals, beginning with 1998. Here, the site looks rather bland, as was the standard in the 1990′s. If this were the ESPN site today, it would not be looked upon as the “worldwide leader in ...
Travelin through Yahoo!
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For the rest of my assignments, I decided to do the Way Back Time Machine Assignment, which reminded me of my radio show so I couldn’t resist! It involves looking at a website and just seeing how its changed over the years, either for better or worse through internet archive. It was actually hilarious to look back on websites such as Myspace, but for this assignment, I decided to look at Yahoo! and take screenshots! 2000: 2005: 2010: 2013: There was a drastic change in the past decade, and it’s definitely for the best! This easy breezy assignment was two ?’s ...
Wally World over time

The first web assignment I completed was the 2-star Way Back Time Machine and it was really interesting. For this assignment we used the WayBack Machine to search for a particular website and see how it’s changed over the years. In doing so, we must provide commentary on whether the changes have been beneficial or not. While I admit I’m not a personal fan of Wal-Mart, I decided it would be interesting to see how its web design changed over the years. So first lets take a trip through time. Wal-Mart’s website went live in 1996 and it looked like this ...
