First Internet Experience

March 2nd, 2011

The first time i remember using the internet would probably be in grade 1-2. This experience was more educational than anything else because it was under the school system therefore no bad images or websites were allowed to be accessed. Many other people don't have such experiences because they were often exposed to "bad" images or events at a young age. A lot of the times at school we would go on the internet to play math games or anything along those lines. Before i knew it the internet had much more to offer to me. I had no idea that you can do so much on the internet. Google, was by far the biggest and most inspiring site I had visited. Literally no matter what I typed in I would always get a result that I was looking for or even something that I had no expected. Now-in days Google is pretty much used everyday for simples terms. From not knowing what something means to looking up images to see certain things. Also, many people had created websites of their own where people got to visit them, post up their comments and such and was sort of like facebook this time of around but instead it was accessed by anyone and you did not need any account. A lot of my friends created websites and it was a way for me to talk to them online rather than using windows messenger because I did not have an account then. Therefore, using the websites they had created provided me with an option to communicate to them. Although it wasn’t much, it was still fascinating to see what you had posted could be seen by thousands of others. Also, majority of the time I was afraid that I would mess-up the internet by installing randomn things or downloading files that I wasn’t aware of. I always seemed to get in trouble for doing stupid things and always got yelled at. So, even ‘til this day I try to be pretty cautious with what im doing on the internet and what may be a virus or not. Overall, id say my experience with the internet wasn’t bad at all but was a much more fascinating experience.
