Your first time online - 12/18/11 12:06 AM
When was that, 11 years ago?
Do you remember the very first time you tried the internet?
First homepage?
First "LOL" ?
I'll share my memories:
I didn't even know what Google was, not sure if it even existed. Homepage was set to MSN, where I read the news. All I knew at first was MSN, HOTMAIL, and ICQ.
Most of the early days I spent on ICQ. I remember the excitement of talking to people all over the world, just for fun. That's also where I picked the internet jargon. LOL was indeed the most common one. Also, every conversation had to start with A/S/L...I guess it's still like that on ICQ, though I haven't used it in years.
Then I tried all kinds of search engines, typed in all my favorite things and checked all kinds of websites. Eventually I found this place as well.
That's about it, I guess. What was your first experience online?
