Hi!

Here are three recommendations we've prepared for today:

Wayback Machine: A gigantic historical archive of web pages

The Internet Archive is a non-profit project that has been building a vast digital archive of websites and other digital documents since 1996. Any user can access for free.

One of the most popular services of the Internet Archive is its Wayback Machine, which allows users to explore over 866 billion web pages captured and stored over the past 28 years.

It is a seemingly magical service, as it enables the retrieval of web pages from specific dates for millions of sites, even if those sites are no longer active, as is the case with many pages.

In the Wayback Machine's search engine, we can enter a domain, and it will provide information about the total number of pages saved from that website and since when, along with a calendar to access specific days. By clicking on a day with a saved page, we can access it as it was published. In some cases, at different times of that day.

For example, here is a snapshot of the Google search engine, in beta phase, from December 2, 1998:

Or The New York Times website captured on November 12, 1996, in its first year of operation:

Or Apple presenting its iPhone in early 2007, in this archived page from January 13 of that year:
