Internet, like Dog Years, run about 7 to 1 human year. Three years is a generation. 10 is a lifetime.
So, the most visited site on the Internet, Facebook, is 7 years old today – or 49 Internet Years.
And if you think that’s the exception, Live.com goes back to 1994, if you trace its history to the first public Microsoft website.
And that’s the oldest of the 13 most visited websites in the world.

Yahoo also dates to 1994, Yahoo’s Japanese site to 2000
Amazon.com was started in 1995.
Google was started in 1998.
QQ (Chinese instant messaging service) in 1998
Blogger 1999
Blogspot in 2000
Baidu (Chinese search engine) in 2000
Wikipedia 2001
YouTube in 2005.
Twitter in 2006

How will it look in another generation (3 years)?
Different.
