You’ve seen it from your favorite celebrities, your friends, viral memes and you may have even posted one yourself. The #10YearChallenge is a comparison of 2009 you vs. 2019 you. Instead of looking at myself and helping Facebook train it’s robots even more, I decided to do a comparison of 10 of the largest tech and social websites to see how well they’ve aged.

Apple.com 2009 vs. 2019

Steve Jobs would be so proud of the Apple Airpods and all of the other innovative products Apple has created since he passed away, like… the eventual Airpods 2.

Amazon.com 2009 vs. 2019

Throwback to the arrival of the Kindle 2! From having your e-Reader actually read you stories to asking your smart speaker to read to you *and* listen to everything you say and do with your significant other.

GetDropbox.com 2009 vs. Dropbox.com 2019

From needing to add a verb to your companies domain so you don’t have to go with a .net, to convincing users to bug their friends for extra storage space, to saying no to Steve Jobs and eventually helping you work… safer?

Facebook.com 2009 vs. 2019

You’d think that having a user base of like half the world would mean you’d have spent some more time on updating your landing page.

Google.com 2009 vs. 2019

Remember iGoogle? Or iRobot? or i….’ll go ahead and stop. I sorry.

LinkedIn.com 2009 vs. 2019

The biggest surprise to me here was that 35 million people actually used LinkedIn in 2009, but then I remembered all those emails I deleted every day.

Microsoft.com 2009 vs. 2019

Ahh, the good ole days of Windows Mobile, Silverlight, Windows Live Messenger and… Songsmith(?).

Pinterest.com 2009 vs. 2019

From foodie photos to helping brides plan their weddings and their eventual divorce parties, you’ve really matured Pinterest. ❤️

Spotify.com 2009 vs. 2019

Ah, the days when those of us in the U.S. had to rely on not-so legal means for unlimited music.

Twitter.com 2009 vs. 2019

You’ve grown from a 140 characters to 280 characters. Can we just trade you back the extra 140 characters for an edit button?

These tech and social companies have grown so much in the last 10 years. Some estimates put the market at Zillions of dollars (U.S.). We can only expect that 2029 will bring us even better organic, non-GMO crypto locally distributed A.I. powered websites and continued growth of the companies behind them.
