I think my family had the Internet before I actually discovered what it was... but the earliest memory I have of using it was around grade 5 or 6, in the late 90s.

I remember making many different email addresses, and going into random chat rooms and bugging people. Then I downloaded ICQ, and would spend hours on that talking to people I had seen at school like, half an hour earlier. I'm not really sure how I managed to waste SO much time on the internet back then, considering I didn't know how to look anything up, and I don't think I knew the full extent of what the internet could actually do.

We had dial-up back then, and I remember my mom would get sooo mad at me cause when I would finally disconnect we'd have so many messages on the machine.
