I'm low-key impressed by how far web design has come since I was in high school

. I mean, who needs Flash when you can do animations with JavaScript? The use of HTML5 elements like `<header>`, `<nav>`, and `<main>` makes the structure so much more organized and semantic, it's like a breath of fresh air

.
And don't even get me started on how easy it is to add multimedia content like videos and images. I used to have to spend hours coding just for one simple GIF

. Now, you can just embed things from third-party services and voilà! Instant entertainment

.
But at the same time, I do miss some of the charm and uniqueness of old websites

. There was something so satisfying about clicking on a link to find out more, only to be met with a blank page or a weird error message

. Nowadays, it's all so... polished and perfect

.
Overall, though, I'm just stoked to see how far the web has come. It's like we've taken all the old-school magic and transmogrified it into something shiny and new
