Around what year did you first hear about the internet?

I heard about it first in the 80s coz I had an American penpal who was into technology and was going to go to MIT, but I didn't use it til about 1999.

Early 2000's, it wasn't until 2010 that we got it at home, but beginning in 2005 i had a family friend buying controversial art films from ebay. He was not without his strict set of morals and put an end to it shortly, i know i know TMI .....:)

Somewhere in the late 60's. I read a lot of sci-fi, I think it may have been Arthur C. Clarke in one of his short stories. He thought of geo synchronous satellites too!

fucked if i know the year aye. haha when i first would go online it would be dial up internet with really not much to do on there except go on these lame chat sites

1988
I had a school friend who liked to get onto bulletin boards and download porn and make conversation with people.

1993 before finishing my grad school at ISU. Colleges were connected to each other through the menu driven Gopher.

late 90's. had to deal with the good old dial up internet that was slow as molasses good times

Late 90s. I had my first account in 1999.

Around 2001, when I was in 7th grade 😅

Sometime in the 1970's. Maybe 1976.

About the early 90s

the what?

2010-2011

1994.

I heard about the internet as a kid in some movies pretty early maybe 1990 but it wasn't explained properly or really called " the internet" yet. But I knew that computers could connect people across the world and information could be shared. I thought that it was for rich geniuses.

But the internet as we know it today didn't come for me until maybe 1995
