How The Internet Has Changed Throughout My Lifetime

I remember the first time I ever even used the internet. In 6th grade, the new friends I was making at Cocopah were asking me if I had a screenname. I had really no idea what they were talking about. When one of them explained it to me, I immediatly knew I wanted to join in! I went home and told my dad, then within the next week, I too had a screen name. At 11 years old I was not exactly aware of all of the things that could be done on the internet. All I was a part of was the AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) chatting with friends from school. I then learned how to go to websites and , look up the Arizona public newspapers online for current even assignments, then other sources and websites to use for school assignments such as papers, projects, and presentations. As I have grown and learned new things, the internet has also developed and developed new things to do. Youtube, facebook, myspace, almost anything is possible on the internet. Back when I was just starting to use the web, I would never have thought I would be spending so much time on it later on.
