Today, The Big Internet Museum is opening its figurative doors to, well, the Internet. Just like any museum, “wings” are divided into sections like Audio-Visual, Social Media, and Gaming, and temporary exhibits will be springing up from time to time. Entries range from logical (the invention of HTML) to the absurd (double rainbow guy seems a questionable web cornerstone). But every exhibit does at least share one thing: younger kids won’t have any idea where these things came from.
Still, even for us more seasoned cruisers of the information superhighway, it’s a nice refresher course in the days—and people—of Internet past. You can even submit your own ideas for future exhibits. So tell us, what parts of Internet lore belong in the museum? [The Big Internet Museum via TNW]

Maybe they should use the lounge jazz version of Nyan Cat.
No I’m not linking it.
60′s Spiderman memes deserve their own exhibit, along with creepypasta stories about childhood cartoons. Anything that puts a different spin on my childhood needs to be preserved for posterity.
