Websites are typically dedicated to a particular topic or purpose, such as news,

education, commerce, entertainment, or social networking. Hyperlinking between
web pages guides the navigation of the site, which often starts with a home page.

Users can access websites on a range of devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets,

and smartphones.

used to retrieve individual files from a server.

These protocols offer a simple directory structure which the user navigates and
where they choose files to download. Documents were most often presented as plain

text files without formatting or were encoded in word processor formats.

In design, we talk a lot about trends, those changes in style and the direction of

our industry. But why do design trends happen, and how are they sourced and
predicted? Is a trend defined by its newness, or are we at the point where everything

we do is recycling a style previously used? The idea of using the past as an
