The Boom Shaka website was born in September 1995. At that time, there were fewer than 20,000 websites in the entire world. Today, there are over a billion websites.

When the BoomShaka.com website was born, most of us didn’t have a cell phone or an Internet connection. If you were connected to the Internet, it was with a 14.4k or 28.8k dial-up modem.

There was no such thing as Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, eBay, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, or Instagram. We were 6 years away from the first iPod and 12 years away from the first iPhone.

So not only was BoomShaka.com the world’s first Reggae site, it was one of the first websites, period. Here are the different looks the site has had over the years.
