When did you first use the Internet?

[Kivan]

I was a little kid, i used to play games made in Flash on laptop of my mother.

Edit: I also played Runescape sometimes

The first time I used the internet in any form? Around 2007. We couldn't afford WiFi so I used to go to the very furthest corner of the house and use the neighbours connection so I could play Mario Kart against other people on the DS. The first time I actually used a pc or laptop with an internet connection would've been around the same time in school, it was alien to me. Around 2011 when I went to my first secondary school is when I started using the internet and computers regularly, some older friends had given me a heap of old flash games which I was addicted to at the time and still have on a USB stick today

Early 2000s, in grade 2 or something. Neo Pets, Habbo Hotel, Diablo 1.

I was 8 or 9, my favorite thing was playing Pet Society on my mother's FB account

It should be 2005, so when I was 4.5, 5 years old. We downloaded a game to my father's computer. I started using it regularly after 2009.

I began to use heavily the internet when I was 11-12 years old

Around 1999 -- nine years into my studies at university.
Ironically, I met my ex-wife (of 15 years) online two years later, when even saying that was still unusual, even a little weird.

Mid 90s. Probably the year 1995.

I just can't remember how and where did I go online but this was the year I first had a computer in front of me at school. So it must've been 1995. Maybe even 1996.

[Mr.G]

1995 probably. In those days we called it, 'The Web'.

The first time I heard the song Spiderwebs, by No Doubt, I actually thought that the lyrics were referencing this weird new thing (the internet).
