It's hard to believe that like 25 years ago, most of us had never used the Internet. I still remember the first time I opened up Netscape on a computer and went to www.yahoo.com and my mind EXPLODED.

But now that we live our lives on the Internet and use it for literally everything, the website Gizmodo.com decided to rank the 100 websites that shaped the Internet as we know it today.

Here are their top 10: Wikipedia . . . Google . . . YouTube . . . The Onion . . . the Internet Archive . . . Twitter . . . Netflix . . . Reddit . . . eBay . . . and MySpace.

And here's how some other big websites finished: Craigslist is 12th . . . PornHub 13th . . . Amazon 17th . . . Facebook 19th . . . Yahoo 26th . . . MapQuest 30th . . . LinkedIn 63rd . . . Pandora 74th . . . and Friendster 84th.
