yes, i remember the first time i surfed the internet and it was the same year as you which of course is 1995. however, i didn't have a computer at the time but i was in a library at school. of course i didn't realize how much of a sensation it would become as the years went on but the thought of going to different websites even back then enticed me. i got my first computer in 2000 and the internet has even evolved much more since then(duh).

Yeah the first time I surfed the Internet was when we were introduced to it as a part of a computer class for school. I want to say about 1998 or 1999. It was an entirely new world. It was surreal and almost alien in many ways. It is also very different than it is today. It is hard to think that internet evolved into this Internet but it is very true. It is quite an interesting thing to think about.
Still, we have come a long way since the 90s I think. It was a curious thing at the time. Now it is a huge part of my life and the lives of many other peoples. Going on that educational website that we had to use to do the assignment for school was the first step towards a long relationship with the Internet. I think that those first steps are always uncertain but the Internet has really changed and it is hard to believe that it was new.

I do remember that day. I was on my first year high school. My classmate and I went in an internet cafe and she showed me how to use the computer and how to surf the net. I was so amazed and got addicted. Bad thing is, I don't have my own computer so I have to go to an internet cafe.

Thinking about when I started to surf the internet let me feels I am old. It has been almost a decade or so since I started. Wayback then IrC chat is the way to meet other people then came yahoo messenger. I used to have a dial up as my connection which is pretty slow as compare to standards now.
