First Time Using The Internet?

[Cam Cam]

How old were you when you first used the internet? I don't know how old I was exactly, but I do remember using the internet in elementary school before I was ten years old. A few months after I turned ten, I remember being introduced to games on the internet on websites like Cartoon Network for example. Then when I was twelve years old, that was when the forum craze began for me. This craze is still going, and it has been over four years.

So, what about you? How old were you?

The first time I used the internet was probably around 7-8 years old. I would assume most people are in the same boat as me.

I've been using the internet for as long as I can remember. I think some of my first internet memories were playing Spongebob games on Nickelodeon.com with my sister, back when we still had dial-up connection, so it would take forever to load the page.

I discovered Youtube (and with it, the internet) when I was probably 8 or 9. Didn't make an account or anything, just watched random videos.

I think I was about 8 when I started using the internet, but I've been using the computer since I was like 3 playing games on it.

I was around 7 when I really began to use the Internet by myself. I have been using the computer to make power points and other stuff since I was around 3.

6 or 7. Became a global moderator on a fairly large (and active) RPG forum at 9... At the time that was so exciting.

Same here, but I'd like to say I learned the Internet when around 12-13 years old.

First used the internet on my first day of high school at the age of eleven.

That part was a bit hard to believe until I realized you were from the UK.

I can't remember the exact age, but I was definitely under 10 years old.

Wait, does the UK have different ages than us or something?

What they refer to as "high school" is basically the same years as our middle school through high school... I think.

 

[Moss44]

To clear this up, can anyone post what GRADE LEVEL high school starts in the UK?

I started using the internet at a very young age.

I think that I was 12 years old. At the age of 9, I played my first video game on PC. I remember that I was so impressed with the games, and I couldn't stop playing. The first page which I opened with my browser was...yahoo. I think I couldn't use the mouse and the keyboard. I was so idiot. After some years, at the age of 15, I was speaking with my friends while my parents were cooking Internet is so beautiful

I'm pretty sure I started at 7 or so with my parents helping me out and sort of attempting to teach me how to use it. I started by playing Webkinz, a fun online kids game which I was really addicted to back then! After a while I became more independent and used the computer way more often. The internet like Panos said, is so beautiful. It's my life! xD

I know I've been on message boards since 2003. So I was about 15 when I started.

I may have done school-related research on computers before that, but I don't remember. To be safe... 11-20.
