TechByte: The Internet Archive is the Library of the Web

Public Libraries are an important institution. They’re strongholds of information, accessible to everybody. But what if there were a public library that was accessible to everyone on the internet.
The internet archive has become the de-facto library of the world wide web. Founded in 1996 by Brewster Kahle, almost anything you’ve ever wanted to read or watch or listen to is probably somewhere on the Internet Archive.
And yes, it’s all legal. You don’t even have to make an account to view the content, with the exception of some books. Accounts are free though, and they only take a few seconds to make.
The staff and volunteers at archive.org have spent thousands of hours scanning thousands of books, all for you to enjoy.
There’s also a TON of software on the internet archive. If there’s an old program you need to use and the CDs are hundreds of dollars on Ebay.. No problem! Just search it up on Archive.org.
If you feel like killing time, you can even play games!
One of my favorite features is the Wayback Machine. Type in the address of a website, and then click on the date you want to see. Here’s Channel 12’s website as it appeared in 2002.
I guess a few things have changed in 24 years.

To access the internet archive, just go to archive.org on your web browser.
