How long have you been using the internet?

Amazingly I've only had it for 4 years.

[Octavian]

I've been using it for some time. A bit over half a decade now.

[Veteran]

Since telnet was the only way to go on my 300 baud modem.

[Squeeky]

Since i was 8, AOL 1.0 :lol:

[Octavian]

Since telnet was the only way to go on my 300 baud modem.

Umm wow, how long ago was that?

[BigFreak]

Yea, my first time on the net was when I went to work with my dad once, in '99. I just thought it was so cool I pestered him enough to get a modem ^^

"Umm wow, how long ago was that?"

Back before you kids were on my lawn, whipper-snapper!

1987.

Impossible! Al Gore invented the internet!

[Veteran]

He pushed for laws to fund the consolidation of many subnets into the Internet that we know today.

He was a major force in the creation of the modern Internet.

And I always liked to take two Oreos and put them together....doesn't mean I invented the double-stuffed ones.

There's a kid in our school whos father was on the team that invented the internet.

[ZeusCali]

the earliest time i remember being on the internet was when i was 9, im 17 now so 8 years ago in... 1996. i had an amiga back then i believe, no free range porn :D like they have now

and i was under the impression that the internet didn't go public until around 92 so being on in 87 was i believe not possible i could very well be wrong i'd as my father was has been using the internet since it his years in college, but he is currently away ;-(

ARPA net or somethin?

[AztecWarrior]

[worldvengence]

[mechaman]

Not real sure, I first used it in the house I'm currently living in and I've been in this house for 7 years so about 5-7 years

[Hezzy]

<3 for Deus Ex references.

<3 for Deus Ex references.
:confused:
Any way....since I was in 7th grade....im in 10th now....

[Cyanide]

I've been on since '95.

I really really doubt that anybody here has been on since it was invented. That would mean that you were on the internet back in the mid 70's, before it was even accessible to the average PC. The only way that's possible is if you worked with ARPA, the DoD, or were a graduate student at some place like MIT. 1987 I could believe, but that's long after the net was actually invented.

[Spee]

I got into the computer scene late, because the person who makes the money in the household is not too keen on technology. So, I got a computer as AOl....I THINK maybe 4.0 was coming out.


Much more memorable than that, though, was the conversaion from 56k to cable...UnF.

[Marsman]

ARPA net or somethin?Actually that's DARPA (Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency). I was on-line back when there were no personal computers of ANY kind - even before Tandy's Model 1 - and was running at 110 baud on a teletype connected to a mainframe (DEC PDP-10) in 1972.

[BigFreak]

Hardcore to the extreem. lol, nice :D You can like...actually say "I wuz on teh intr0net b4 u wuz in dyp0rz!!11" and be correct :(

Edit!11: Do you guys in the US have those BT/Yahoo! internet adverts (yea, I'd guess they'd just be for Yahoo! in the states, as British Telecom probably don't have an ISP in the US) with those two geeks in the '60s or '70s (I forget which it's supposed to be) talking about the internet and stuff? I can just see Marsman in a similar situation ('cept Marsman'd be cooler and stuff, cos I don't wanna be banned :( ).

Found the guys!!1 http://www.btopenworld.com/broadband/partner/affinity?UKA

[Rbstr]

[Infernus]
