How long ago or how old were you when you discovered the internet?
Personally, I am 22 years old and I have lived with the internet most of my life. I can always remember having the internet. My parents got the internet at the same time they bought our first computer, which was in either 1995 or 1996. And they were very proud, because no one else around had the internet. Anyways, I would like to hear from you all.

Oh wow, so you are telling me that you were 2 years old when you played games on the internet?? That seems almost impossible. However, if you are telling me this is what happened I will choose to believe you, because it is not impossible it would just be difficult in my opinion. I believe a lot of things are not quite impossible if you put your mind to it!

I discovered the Internet when I was about 10 years old. I remember how overwhelmed I was at first. The Internet was like a gateway to so much information and various media. I remember spending hours trying to learn as much as I could. At first, it almost became an obsession to me. But as I grew up, I learned to take interest in other things like science, comics books, and video games. Although I still use the Internet, I do take breaks from using it from time to time. It really irritates my eyes to stare at a screen too long.

Ah yes, it is wonderful the technology of today - allowing us to be able to use internet on our phones! I admit I do not use my phone too much for anything. However, when I do use my phone I do take advantage of the ability of using the internet on it. It is a great thing my friend. Thanks for your response!

I was only 18 years old and my first time attending college. I was fascinated with the internet because it was something new to me. I was a bit having a difficult time familiarizing with the internet. However, since I got some practice with using the internet at my friend's place, it was getting a bit easier for me. My typing speed got a bit better because I surf the internet all the time. The internet became my favorite technology.

Yes, that is understandable that it took you a while to get used to the internet at first glance. And there are many ways in which you can improve your typing speed, but surfing the internet sure helps that is true indeed! :)
The internet is my favourite technology as well. I do not think I could live without the internet for a long period of time.
