A fun sort of online museum with exhibits on the early internet. From the first mp3, to the dancing baby gif, to the first webcam feed of a coffee maker and more. This was really cool!

Yeah Netflix really started taking off once TV shows started getting DVD releases. These DVD sets were expensive, but you could get a 3-disc Netflix plan for $15/mo and realistically binge an entire season of 24 in two weeks. This is what I think turned Netflix from a Blockbuster alternative into a Blockbuster killer.
