I think this website is great. It's an internet archive. As a web designer, I can see the transitions the web has been through for more than a decade.
The idea of looking back at the old websites and comparing them today gives us a whole new outlook to what they will look like in the future. Mr. Mannheimer is right, that not everything will look like the way they are right now in the future. Its true, thats why we don't have ugly fanny packs at Target, we have modern handbags, because bags are not meant to go around our waist, just like websites are not meant to have bright yellow fonts and black background with frames and an animated banner. The internet archive can prevent a designer from committing those mistakes by looking at different examples of old websites.
