How long have you had the internet for?

Personally I must have had it for at least 8 years.

About 8 or 9 years I think. Back then I had an old PC with Windows 98/ME on it.

I can't remember, but it would probably be around 4 to 5 years on Broadband and another few on Dial-Up.

God only knows, as long as I can remember, though I feel like I only really discovered the internet within the past 5 or 6 years. As far back as I can remember we had a time limit to use the internet; first it was 30 minutes a day, then eventually an hour or so, but I didn't use it for much so it was okay. Eventually it got to be about two hours, but maybe twice a day. Eventually I just started going on whenever and only disconnecting during hours when people would be likely to call the house phone. Sadly I only escaped dial-up less than 9 months ago when we moved to the city, as my old house couldn't get dsl or wifi from any provider - believe me, we tried them all. So I finally feel like part of the 21st century, no longer needing to abuse school internet to download things or watch youtube videos...feels good man.

Hi

The Internet is named after the Internet Protocol, the standard communications protocol used by every computer on the Internet. The Internet can powerfully leverage your ability to find, manage, and share information. Never before in human history has such a valuable resource been available to so many people at such little cost. You are incredibly lucky.

Thank you.
