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

[DaWhim]

around 1996, 3 years before I came to the US.
I was 13 or 14, i guess

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..

11 or 12? 1998 or 1999? I'm not sure, but I know my paypal account is over 5 years old so I've had it since I was 12...

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

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.
