When did you learn about internet for the first time?

Nomad
The Internet is a global network of computers and servers that communicate with each other using a standard set of protocols. It allows people all over the world to access and share information, communicate, and collaborate in real-time. When did you know what internet was and when did you start using it? Well, I was in school when I learned about internet and had access to the internet fore the first time.
 
I realised that I can do more by using the Internet. To be able to contact and reach out to friends was not something that I thought it would have possible in the past.
When I first found out that our family also has the Internet, I didn't even have a smartphone or a computer because everything belonged only to my older brother and my parents, but I knew that when I got a smartphone, I would definitely look for friends on the Internet who would understand me
 
A friend told me about it. I tried it in 1996 with a very limited account that was packaged with OS/2 Warp. I didn't get into it.

But the following year, I started using an unlimited account from another company and got hooked pretty quick. Started running sites that same year and still do!
How was web development different in those days? I never got into making websites until around 2003 and not seriously until 2008.

Note: my first jab at making a website was posting guitar lessons on this free hosting site that had ads. I just used simple html.

I just did basic HTML. There wasn't CSS back then, and everyone used tables and frames. I learned by examining other sites. There was also no Google. I did take Web Design I and II in community college in like 2001. That was pretty boss!

I can vividly remember my first introduction to the internet back in 2003. It was in my elementary school's computer lab where we learned basic typing skills and got to explore these new things called "websites." Using archaic web browsers, we visited basic FAQ sites on topics like animals and planets. While the internet was extremely rudimentary back then..
