If you had to put a year on it, when would you say the web became meaningfully "interactive"? Meaning when did we go from static pages of longform text to dynamic components streaming live data and flying 3D interactive articles? Articles / refs with historical detail welcome 🙏

Back in 1995, Microsoft had deployed large-scale, consumer-facing web services like Expedia and CarPoint with dynamic, data-driven UX.

OMG! That takes me back! I'd forgotten about this ad. That was my baby. We had an incredible team, and it was light years ahead of its time. Nothing quite like it even today. So sad that MS eventually killed it. Thanks so much for sharing that. Makes me happy. :)
