The Internet

I think it was around 97/98 at uni, that I first saw it. I didn't think much of it.

I distinctly remember getting it at home in 2000 as the Sydney Olympics were on at the time.

Each time the phone rang it would cut out.

How can I make the entire internet about me and my mediocre career, great thread.

Late 90s for me.

First Everton forum type thing for me was the old MIRC 'chats'

It is also interesting to try and pinpoint when in your career answering emails became a measure of 'work done' as opposed to actual 'work' done.

Thank God I have retired.

90% of emails were absolute Whum.

I would spend (waste) 2 hours of Monday mornings, clearing all this junk.

Also on-line training used to be about doing your job more efficiently, but latterly it has become political indoctrination.

I think it was Limewire, an old 56kb dial up modem and it must have been the late 90’s. A young teenage boy and his mate realising they could download a music video for a band they were really into back then (can’t remember the band). It took forever and a day to finally download.
We were so excited! So we open up the video, and guess what it is?!

The nastiest German scat porn video you’ll ever see! I don’t want to go into details, but it still haunts me to this day.

I was around 5 years old when my dad brought home a computer from work, and I've been sat in front of one ever since.

I think we first had internet in 1999 when I was 6 years old. Compuserve. We had a load of people from the estate come over and take a look.

Late 90s. Was in the MSN chat rooms and downloading tunes off Napster and Kazaa, in between fighting my dad to allow me to use the Internet for a few extra minutes. I remember once attempting to download a movie clip and it being some Russian beheading video instead, somewhat disconcerting to the unwitting 14-15 year old.
