Nicholas Carlson explains:

Every year, Kleiner Perkins partner Mary Meeker puts together a presentation on the state of the Web.

Meeker is a former analyst for Morgan Stanley, and her decks  are always a handy guide to where things are going. 

So, when a source told us he had a copy of Meeker's first report on the Internet — from way back in 1996 — we begged him to send it.

Unlike Meeker's decks, "The Internet Report," is a 322-page, text-heavy PDF.  

We've gone through it, pulled all the charts, pulled some quotes, and re-arranged it all into a Meeker-style deck — one from 1996.
