I saw this question on Swagbucks and it made me think. When was the first time I used the internet. Well growing up in the 90’s means I was raised in the computer age. So I want to say my first time was probably late elementary to early middle school so some where tween the age of 9-12 was when I first started. I remember waiting for the computer to boot up and then waiting for the internet tk the connect and heaven forbid you need to make a phone call or someone call you because it wasn’t happening. That time seemed to fly by quick those. I still rememebr play alphabet soup and roller coaster tycoons on it.

As I recall, my first foray onto the internet was in late 1988 or early 1989 when I went back to college after my military service.

It must be around 2001. That was probably the year I opened my first email account and in a couple of months was writing voraciously in yahoo answers as well.
