I've been using internet since 1995. You're right! A lot of things have changed since then. I used internet to search for something in Yahoo or Alta-Vista. I used to read some magazines. But now the whole gamut of internet use is different. So much so that I have to ask myself, what I don't do with internet.

Wow thats really a long time, really if you go back and look it has changed completely. Earlier you might be receiving hardly a mail in a week but now there are mails which may take more than a week to read lol. I really agree with you that we need to think what we need to do and what not. Enjoy surfinghappy

Oh gosh, I started using the Internet when I was 15, which was like 10 years ago. We had dial up and the slowest computer on Earth. Everything was bulky and Napster was still free. Making money online wasn't really an option and most of the things now, like MySpace and believe it or not, most spam didn't really exist. There was some, but not to the extent it's at now. While it was simpler back then, it's a lot more fun now.


myLot reputation of 88/100. babshish (914)   ranked 975 out of 13,142 in internet  3 years ago

Yes earlier the speed was so slow but we still using the internet at that time, and now we have all kind of options like, broadband, DSL, fiber optics, wi-fi etc, and still if the speed is not good, we start yelling and gets frustrated, so see how time changes every one.happy

I have been using the internet since the days of the bulliten boards. A server you dialed directly in to with your modem. As far as actual internet usage, I would say since probably around 1991. There were not many websites back then and they were much simpler. You didn't have streaming video and huge flashy graphics, low speed modems and dial up internet connections couldn't handle them. Chat was limited to forums and "IRC" (internet realy chat)clients. Yahoo was just a search engine back then. There was no such thing as instant messaging, or social network sites. My, how things have changed.


myLot reputation of 88/100. babshish (914)   ranked 975 out of 13,142 in internet  3 years ago

Hey thats really a long long time, at that time I just used to read about internet in books. So you have seen almost internet from childhood to it current age, And I think it is still growing and we will see more changes (good and bad both) in future. Thanks for sharing your experience.happy


myLot reputation of 83/100. xfahctor (7623)  3 years ago

yeh, I pretty much watched the internet "grow up", lol. The internet is still a young adult though, can't wait to see it 10 years from now.

Hi, I've been using the internet from when I got my first computer in 1996. At that time there was dial up internet connected with the telephone line. The off peak hour was from 6pm otherwise it would be expensive since you had to pay for how long you stay online during the day it cost more like the telephone. AT 6pm I would be in front of pc trying to connect and all the time it was busy since many people would log in at that time too. So after about 10 tries I would finally be connected. Mostly I used to chat and do some research. But when compared to today it took a long long time for sites to load especially when there were images and most of the site's design was very basic. There weren't any social networking sites as long as I know and much less info. Today technology has so much evolved in these past 13 years that the experience is incomparable.

Who knows how it will be in 10 years time. I will surely have a new laptop with a new technology.


myLot reputation of 88/100. babshish (914)   ranked 975 out of 13,142 in internet  3 years ago

Wow, its really a long time you are using it. Agree with you that cost wise it has became very much cheaper. And the way now the sites are designed has also changed. And it has helped everyone in gaining the knowledge. Now whatever you want to find is just a click away. Thanks for sharing your views.

I am using the net for about 6 years..At the beginning we used to work with dial up connections and most of the time, we may not get connected with the net.But now, we are able to online always with the improvement in the technology. Also, there were no number of online earnings sites in those days.Now ,we can not count them.The main thing I forgot to tell is , the download speed..Previously, if we open a page, that will take much time and also the pages will be opened as like we are lowering s screen.Now, it is happening in fraction of a second.I don't know if such social sites were there or not.Now, 100s of such sites are available.Really these changes are beyond our imagination.Also we can not predict as what will happen in the next two or three years..Science is going on developing..Also the ill doings of men ..


myLot reputation of 88/100. babshish (914)   ranked 975 out of 13,142 in internet  3 years ago

Yeah the speed of internet has changed drastically compared to dial up connection. And the earning opportunities are so many, which can really help us all a lot. Yes you are right that these changes are beyond imagination but I feel there are many more things in future. Lets hope for more better things.

I can't really remember when I started using the internet. It must have been like a decade ago though. I just know that I was pretty young. I know that a whole lot has changed though. I can remember back when they still used floppy disks and when Myspace was new. I didn't really use it very often back then though. I use it every single day now. I can't remember really anything about speed, cost, socializing. I was too young and I wasn't allowed to do much on there. I never socialized; wasn't allowed to chat. I only used email, but it was just with kids from school, so I usually just talked to them in person. Technology sure has come a long way in my lifetime though and it will just keep on doing so. Haha. I just remembered another thing. I remember when they didn't have MP3 players. Gosh now everyone has them. What a crazy world.


myLot reputation of 88/100. babshish (914)   ranked 975 out of 13,142 in internet  3 years ago

Hey thanks for sharing your view and experience, yes a lots of things have changed, like every one has MP3 player and most of the people are using internet now a days as compared to past. It has became one of the important way of communication and also a knowledge base.

I have been using the Internet since 2001. It hasn't really had many huge breakthroughs, besides some upgrades like more social networking sites and such. But nothing earth-shattering since I started. I do have a faster connection now, as well as the sheer amount of information available online is more now than back then.


myLot reputation of 88/100. babshish (914)   ranked 975 out of 13,142 in internet  3 years ago

I guess in 2001 internet was not used at such a big extent, like for communication, today we mostly apply for any job via email only. This was just an example. And other things you have mentioned like social networking, speed and information etc. Thanks for sharing your views.

I have been using internet since 1995 and now as you said correctly that internet is taking an altogether different format. May it be sharing, collaboration of documents in organization or social networking, making friends and many more. I hope we have too much of surprises to be seen in coming year


myLot reputation of 88/100. babshish (914)   ranked 975 out of 13,142 in internet  3 years ago

Surely we will have lots of surprises in future, the way technology is growing. It has changed a lot from past and it will change more in future as well. Lets make the best use of it. Thanks for sharing your views.

Yeah, many things have changed since then and some are good and some are bad, like at that time there were not so many scams as they are presently. And also money making oppurtunities are more compared to earlier. Lets make the best use of it. Thanks for sharing your views.
