Carol Anne asks

When did you get online, and get connected to the internet? And, what did you use the internet for initially?

    1980, in college. This was well before the World Wide Web, the internet was mostly used for email, Usenet (sort of like message boards), and software downloads. I used it on school computers, I didn’t have internet access at work for about 10 years after that, and soon after that, I got it at home, in the early 1990s.

    Many years ago. Initially, it was for learning and having a better understanding of it’s working. Later on, it was for Multimedia and then at home it was for entertainment purpose apart from some projects I did as a freelancer.

    Oh wow that was so long ago. I can not remember the year. That was still in the days of dialup (oh just the word ‘dialup” even sound hilarious now🤣) I accessed the internet to connect with friends and for work email.
