Twenty years ago, your smartphone wasn't even a twinkle in Steve Jobs's eye. Nevertheless, 1994 was a momentous year for the tech industry.
It was the year the world wide web (the internet as we know it today) was born. There were no smartphones, no iPads, no flat-screen TVs... and, imagine this, no Google, no Netflix, no Dropbox.
We've put together a reminder of how far we've come since then.

We've put together a reminder of how far we've come since then.
1. Windows Operating System

2. Cellphones
3. First Website
4. NeXT PC Used To Invent WWW
In 1994, Steve Jobs was still running NeXT Software, formerly NeXT Computer. This is the actual NeXT PC that Berners-Lee used to invent the web, and host the first web pages.
5. Microsoft's First Web Page
This is Microsoft's very first web page in 1994. Because it had a picture, it took a long time to load.
6. Yahoo Home Page
1994 was also the year Yahoo was founded. This is what its web page looked like.
7. Floppy Disks
There were no thumb drives or cloud storage. You backed up files on a floppy disk.
8. Doom Video Game
In 1994, Doom arrived, the seminal first-person shooter video game. It's been a hit ever since.
9. Sony PlayStation
The Sony Playstation arrived in 1994, too, and changed video games forever
10. VHS Cassettes
The DVD wasn't invented until 1995. So in 1994, you watched and recorded movies on VHS.
11. Fax Machines
Because email was expensive (and not everyone had it), the fax machine was uber popular.
