| My computer was pretty cutting edge then. |
Yes the monitors came in a range of colours to match your office decor, as long as it was beige, and they also were also limited to a small range of colours to display on the screen.
So websites were designed with these limitations in mind.
As technology advanced, websites changed to accommodate the varying screen sizes of not only monitors but also laptops, tv screens, tablets and mobiles.
If you check your Google Analytics, you'll more than likely notice up to 70% of your visitors are on either their mobile phone, tablet or netbook. As a busy race of people, we are spending much more time checking information while on the move and less time at a desk. Looking at these statistics, designers need to accommodate for the changes, or risk the website being overlooked.
Three main features to make your website mobile friendly?

- Readable Text Size.
Many websites have very small text, which on a computer screen may be OK, but requires a magnifying glass when viewed on a mobile. - Big buttons.
It might sound silly unless you've ever tried to click on a text link with a large finger and a small mobile phone screen. - Phone adjusted layout.
A computer screen is horizontal yet mobiles are used vertically. Using a separate css for mobile will allow the website to display well in both media.
