The '''[http://archive.org/web/web.php Wayback Machine]''' is a section of the [[Internet Archive]]. What makes this website so notable is that, while the Internet Archive is, [[Captain Obvious|well]], an archive that's available on the Internet, the Wayback Machine is an archive ''of'' the Internet. It allows people to ''actually access'' past versions of web pages. [https://web.archive.org/web/2020*/https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Wayback_Machine Including this one.]
In other words, it's the browser version of a time machine.
