"my first encounter with the internet" Write about your first feelings and experience
Answers
Answer:
was made accessible to the public. I had always been fascinated with computers. I took a couple of computer classes in college and had fun with the Apple II computers they had in the lab. I even found word processing fascinating at the time.
When the internet became increasingly more popular, I could no longer resist buying my own computer and getting online. My first computer was nothing to write home about. It was a used generic desktop PC that I purchased fom an acquaintance who sold used computers. I paid $600 for the PC, monitor, and a printer.
I was so excited when I brought the computer home. I just couldn't wait to set it up and start surfing the web! The setting up was quite easy but I couldn't get online just yet. I had to call the service provider (ISP) and establish a dial-up service first. Luckily, that didn't take very long. I was to able to get online within a few hours. Yay!
You wouldn't believe what happened next. I found out that the monitor was busted. It was so fuzzy and had black horizontal lines running through. Needless to say, I was irritated but still managed to go on the World Wide Web for a few moments to get a first taste of it, if you would :) Even with everything blurred I found the internet quite amazing. I went to exchange the monitor the following day, and my real first internet experience began.
My first encounter with the internet took place about five years ago.
I had a school project that required collecting information on endangered species of birds and animals in India. I needed both statistics and pictures. When I told my mother to take me to the library, she suggested that I use the internet instead. I reluctantly agreed, because I was not at all familiar with the internet, and did not know how to get the information I needed. Surprisingly, it took my mother less than ten minutes to show me how to search for specific information and pictures. It was much easier than I thought, and also so convenient. Using the internet had saved me a trip to the library (for the data), a trip to the market (for the pictures) and had also saved me from the hassles of stepping outdoors during the rainy season. It let me finish my work on time, with ease, and within the comfort of my home.
My first experience of using the internet was a very happy and satisfying one indeed, and I have been using the internet for my projects ever since.
