What's your Internet Age?

I'm 15. I voted 10+. We were the first family in our street to have internet, and I used it as soon as I could type.

AOHELL? lolol. 🙂 the first thing i did when i got on aol was... look up porn. that was when i was like 14 on a 2400 baud modem. then came the 9600 and 14.4 and 28.8, and eventually the 56ks. bastards!
 
I started using the internet in college back in 1995 at least.

I didn't connect my own computer to the internet until summer 1996.

So either 10 yrs or 11 yrs depending on how you look at it.
 
I used to use my Commodore 64 and 8088 PC (with Turbo button) on BBS's back in the late 80's/early 90's. Many of those BBS's had gateways to usenet. I remember one of the BBS's having a big picture of Jessica from Who Framed Roger Rabbit on it, so that should put a date on things.

So I'll say my first post on the internet was about 18 years ago.

Remember, the internet isn't just the World Wide Web.
