Audrey Witters remembers the creativity of the early web.
When she was launching her career in the mid-1990s, being online was more about exploring and having fun than figuring out how to make a return on investment. Witters said if you were curious about someone’s web page, you could simply click to see their code or email them with questions. She enjoyed how accessible the early web community was and the feeling of connection.
Now a business consultant in San Jose, she spoke at the Internet Archive’s Oct. 22 celebration, praising its efforts to save digital content and encouraging innovation through experimentation.
