How long have you been using the internet ?Your first activity on the net....

Hi Kiran! I started using the internet since 2004 and of course like you my first activity was to open an email account as that was the first thing the computer class teacher taught us about the internet. Then start searching other things..I was so impressed that time I can search anything I like but not addicted to it as much as I am now.(^^)

Hi kiran8, if I'm not wrong it would be 9 years or so back. I think the exact date is not that important as long as I do enjoy the convenience of having the facility of internet that makes my daily living so colorful since the first day I had subscribed the dial-up internet lol...if compared to those earlier days without any internet service. Me too didn't have any knowledge that we could make earning via internet before Anyway I's still in great pleasure busy with net surfing earlier as there were countless of fun for me to explore the vast virtual world lol...and this kept my life rather busy and full of interest. My first online account is yahoo account as well, and it's still with me now. Though I have joined as member of many sites later, myLot still is my most favorite site which I like to participate in the activities available here frequently. Happy posting and have a nice day

I believe my first experience with internet was around 2000. I would go to the publice library to get information about local reggae concerts. My son-in-law help me learn how to get online. I didnt actually own a computer or have a email till about 2002. Im still searching for a way to make a living online.

FOr my personal use I started about the same time you did. I got a Dell laptop and it had MSN on it so I started my first account on MSN. And I got AOl too. SOmeone asked if I had Yahoo and wanted to IM with me so I went on there and started an account on there. I have been on Mylot for over four years. I wish i could remember how I learned of it but I can't.

1989, first year of University, studying Computer Science. Ah, the scary text email system, newsgroups and all that stuff! My first web site was mostly for a PC game (Stars!) and was actually featured in a gaming magazine. That was back when everything was built by hand in Notepad - none of this wussy Publisher or "Save As HTML" nonsense! 2k/s upload over a telephone line, everything optimised so it wouldn't take hours just to update a page... great stuff. Wrote for a couple of online gaming magazines in the mid- to late-1990s, blogged, moderated forums... tried a bit of everything, really. That was all just for fun, of course. No money in it. I started earning online at the end of 2008, setting myself up as a freelance writer/editor.

Hello my sister's son tell me that I can earn from internet. It is period of 2005 or 2006. At that time he was doing IIT. I was interested in typing and job. I searched for but I was not found and legit site. So it is my activity on net. Than I forgot earn from net. Once again he asked me that I can earn from blog. Than I start again and till the today I am using internet. Although I was not success in earning from blog. I am not from computer or IT back ground, it is a problem with me.

I have been online since around October 1996 or so. Maybe even earlier than that, but this is as far back as I can really remember Email, etc. I remember getting my first WebTV back in 1997 and my first Email address being Sleepless97@webtv.net Since then I have seen a lot of changes, and owned a couple of computers, etc. It is interesting looking back how far we have come with Computers and internet access today.

Hi Kiran! I have been using it for 5-6 years and like you I opened my first email account on Yahoo. However, at that time I did not have any PC with net either in my office or in my home. I first ventured into Yahoo answers and from there I switched over to mylot and then to Associated Contents. I still love to work on mylot and enjoy my time here.

I too started using the Internet back in 2001, though I didn't really start getting into it until the beginning of 2002. LOL One of the first things I did was look into getting a dog for my family and I. I wanted to get a purebred from a breeder (I never got one from a breeder before so it was a new experience for me), but didn't know what breed to get. However, I knew it had to be a large breed, as that's what I was accustomed to. Shortly after I got my dog (who has recently passed), I joined a forum specially for this breed. After that, I became hooked to the Internet! I have been using it ever since. Happy mylotting!

I honestly cannot remember the actual date or year that I started using the internet. It's just been way too long to actually remember.

I was the first one to get a connection where I live, around 1998/99. It was not easy those days as the connection went off almost on a daily basis. I had a dial up connection then and I think the following stuck in my memory more than even the nursery rhymes: " The server is not functioning properly or has been temporarily removed from the Internet. Your Internet browser is not configured properly. The TCP/IP configuration for your dial-up connection to your ISP is incorrect. Your ISP's Domain Name Service (DNS) server is not working properly."

I got my first computer and arrived online late in 1999. The first site I joined was MyFamily.com and I've been hooked on the internet ever since. I cannot believe all I have learned by being online and all of the wonderful friends I've made. I'm fortunate to have met quite a few of them face to face also, which is awesome!

Hello, my experience with the internet came very shortly after i got a computer. it was 2001 i think. The i was still in elementary school 5th grade and it wasn't hard to get use to working on a computer, that is playing games as all the kids do. I came into contact with the internet through an old dial up modem, that now seem really annoying sense it was loud when it was connecting and we had to pay for use by the minute, it was much more expensive and much slower. I only spread my wings online when i got my dsl line. Now i find most of the things i need online. I just haven't succeeded to make money online yet, and now i'm intensively searching for options.

I started way back in 1999, mostly surfing for adult materials then I got my Hotmail and I also started using MIRC. It was late 2000 that I started to use my time on the Internet to earn money, first was for a webcam company then moved on to updating yellow pages. I was then introduced to adult blogging and I have been doing that since 2004.

I started using the Internet in 1980. I had to use it for my job.

It's been so long I can't remember exactly how long. I can remember being at a friends house and booting up her dad's computer. It was old school dial up. I probably was 14 or so so that would be about 15 years ago roughly. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing and we would get on chat rooms. And ofcourse the familiar "you've got mail" you'd hear when you'd sign on to your email.

I used the Internet when it was first available in the UK. That would be sometime in the 1990s. I only had dial-up then and would have to keep reconnecting after an hour or so. And webpages loaded so slowly that most of the activity was done with Yahoo groups via e-mail. Yahoo was my first mail account too, but I set it up for the e-mails to come into Outlook Express. Webmail now, is such a difference! I always had computers before the Internet. The kids used to play games on it, and I used it to edit videos. It wouldn't go on-line at all in those days and I hadn't even heard of the Internet. The computer was an old Commodore Amiga 500 which had to be started with floppy disks. Now that was very slow! _Derek

For me i will get to know it 2005 but 2010 i know this mylot,odesk,contencurrent.

I have started the internet using since 2005. After completion of my 10Th class, i have learned typing and computer coaching. I was first registered in Yahoo. I don't know what is an e-mail, unknown person explained about net to me, later on i have learned many things myself. Now i know a lot. I am doing blogging. And how the ciao.co.uk is working? how can we earn from it?

I think it was the 2003 when I first used the internet. It was my school time, and probably I was in 10th standard. It was our school computer lab and our English teacher took us there to show us some articles on the internet. Then we started surfing other things also.
