As we step into the New Year, it’s like we’re starting a fresh adventure filled with hopes, dreams and all the good things. But, there’s also this bittersweet feeling, like saying goodbye to an old friend — the past year, with all its ups and downs.

Life shows us all sorts of things, and it’s important to see each day as the beginning of something new. So, let’s look at things positively and take a trip down memory lane, not just for the past year but for the past ten years! And that which took place around the world, with all those headlines and events that shaped the world by time-travelling through Ten Years Ago (https://neal.fun/ten-years-ago), a virtual time machine that zips us back a decade. It’s like a little journey, recalling about where the world was ten years back.

The website revives memories by offering insights into the trends, events and cultural moments that defined the last decade in the internet realm. With a user-friendly interface, featuring names of internet giants on the homepage like Amazon, Reddit, ESPN, Apple, IMDb, YouTube, IGN, CNET, etc, it’s fun to see these giants spreading their magic back then.

To start with, click on any and see how it transports you to its ten years back state. You can explore the pages and read more on any topic that interests you. As you may be reading it for the first time, most of you would be astonished to see and read about the events and the news because that would actually give you a feeling that you are travelling back in time.
