Amazing to think that this wasn't even that long ago, that internet that exists as we know it was created 8 years before I was born, which makes me feel wierd as I've grown up using the internet.

I still remember getting on the internet for the first time. Using a modem, keeping my parents' phone line occupied. Was using Netscape then, and later Comic Chat before switching to mIRC. I then got into chatting a lot and met a great girl from another country one day. Long story short, she moved here, we got married and have 2 children together. So yeah, my life would be totally different if I couldn't be online that day, almost 21 years ago.

"There was a period in time where you couldn't use the phone and internet at the same time." Wow, that statement right there just made me feel like an old timer instantly.

Next time, instead of doing a video on the history of the internet, do a video on your internet history. I'm sure we would all like to see that.

Hm... What would my life be without the internet... Well, maybe I'd actually have a life... *( ._.)*

I feel the years 2006-2009 was when the internet became the internet. This period saw the emergence of big sites like youtube and Facebook. It was during this period we got memes and when things like 4chan and anime got a huge presence.

I first heard the term "email" towards the end of '92 - didn't have a clue what it was. Didn't really start to use email properly until 1995 because back then, few people I knew had email accounts. First used Mosaic web browser in 1994 - really slow and basic web sites. The web began to take off from 1996-1997 onwards. Some of the media were still referring to it as the "Information Super Highway". LOL.

It would be different because I wouldn't watch this awesome show

I remember Dial-Up. I would be playing a game online and my mom wouldn't warn me that she was about to call someone. So many Connection Lost messages ;~;

I wouldn't have seen this great video

[thatkatieproject]

Yay internet! The internet has literally changed my life in so many different ways. The main one of these being the friends I've met. I've made so many AMAZING friends all over the world because of the internet. And with it, I can keep in touch with them super easily. Without the internet I wouldn't have a job either, since I work for a cloud software company!

It's cool being able to realise how much the internet has come to think it's gone from a room sized computer to phones it's cool.

I remember when I was little in kindergarten until 3rd grade in the early 2000’s, we used Brick computers and we would go on starfalls, poptropica, pbskids, spongebob typing, timez attack and watch dvds on it. Awh man, great childhood memories
