  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

When was the first time you used the internet?

Hmmm 1993 or 94 I think. It was a very early Internet Explorer on Windows 3.1. I do not remember the site but I'm sure it must have had multiple XXXXXX's in the name.
 
Cool thread LOL

When was it?

2000? i think? I just remember it was when Napster was at its peek. And when there was msn explorer around that time.


I used to love yahoo back in the day. Although when i first got internet i mostly used it for email until i got accustomed to it and back then it was dial up so you couldn't stay that long as calls would get interrupted.

The first website i think was yahoo and the second one Napster and the 3rd was porn LOL.

I my gosh why didnt anybody tell me about cookies or cache ? And that all the addresses you went to were saved in the drop down bar? LOL

Those were the days. Come a long way since.
 
Internet proper, 1993. I and a few business associates brought it to Fort Smith. The 128K backbone link supplied 8 plastic modems, all located in the phone center of a local hospital. That was all the Internet connection for a metro area of 100,000.
Prior to that it was all BBS, going back to the mid 80's. My favorite system was on Ognet. It was a series of Apple owners scattered around North America and Europe -perhaps 20 or 30 of them, max. You dialed in to your local node, read your mail or added your two bits to the forums and entered your moves on the multi-player games. If you wanted to maintain your sanity, you stayed out of the file areas on Ognet -it was maddening to figure out how to do anything in there. Each night the sysop of each node would gather up all the new content and send it to the next node in the chain. They did that either by phone or satellite. After six or seven days, your messages/moves/etc. would have made the entire loop and you would have all of your responses. Conversations were very different in those days.
 
Someone mentioned something else interesting from those early days. Some of my oldest and best friends came from that period. One friend I see only rarely. I remember his name (it's rather odd) by the memory of those green letters glowing on screen.
One friend did an episode guide of ST:TNG, Dr. Who, and a few other shows. He uploaded it weekly and people from all over the world downloaded it religiously. That labor and tradition evolved to yield www.thelogbook.com.
 
Grade 4 for me in a Computer class at school. The first thing we did online was learn searches... Used Netscape Navigator... the Magellan search engine I think. The assignment was to find a picture of Saturn the planet. I remember it being quite difficult; Too many car results.

Was around 1995/1996 or so I think.

There was also a kid in my class that found a picture of a naked woman... he was subsequently banned from using the internet.
