I remember the first time I learned about the internet.
It was in 1999, when communication is still MIRC. It costs Php90.00 per hour and internet cafes were stylish, cold, and they serve fancy chocolate shakes with wafers on top.
Do you remember getting your first email address?
I do.
It was back in 2000, as a college student. I learned about MIRC and people keep asking me for my email address. And I was like, what is that? Maybe I should get one. I went to this internet shop near my college dorm, and without asking for assistance, even if I looked stupid, I navigated my way through yahoo. Trust me, google was still just being discovered and yahoo.com used to be the thing.
I must have created 5 different email addresses in one sitting: I have yahoo, hotmail, mailcity, msn and aol. I had fun creating different names for my email address, until I decided to have one email address that I'm going to have for a long time, I still have it now, more than a decade later.
I developed this love affair with the internet. And it became everyone's thing.
