In 1999 I saw it for the first time. At a friends house, he took out his computer and showed me the White House.gov link. It was hard to believe...and I thought that the internet was restricted to just a few sites.
..In 2000, the library where I live got it. 2 computers. I remember going and fooling around with it. Then in 2001, there were 4 or 5. I was on the internet when 9/11 hit. Instant news. Today the internet is where I get news most of the time. If I am driving, I listen to the radio.
...I think I saw my first hand held computer in 2006. Now they are everywhere. I guess they are also called, "cell phones"....????I am used to a large screen. Yes, I have a cell phone with internet, but I use it to phone people..

...I guess someone had a song about this, "The Times They are A Changing" (oh you can get music too)
