At what age/year were you introduced to the Internet?

Sadly enough, I was around BEFORE the internet.
I was first introduced to whatever the heck the internet did first, if that makes any sense. 😛

nm..i'm half asleep right now
 
1989, 5 y/o... I remember looking at some Toys R Us thing... I can't remember what ISP we had back then.. started with a P IIRC. It's no longer around..

Ohh, Prodigy! It looks like it is still around, in a different form..
 
6 years old in early 1st grade or a little before that

i spent the next year downloading tons and tons of videos from lamborghini.com!
 
I remember being on prodigy when I was really young. I'm thinking '91-'92ish. I was the only kid in my elementry school using the internet for current events. One teacher banned us, i.e. me, from using the internet for research.

Times have changed.
