My first Internet experience

Can you remember your first time using the internet ?

I have always been fascinated with the Internet, ever since my first encounter many years ago in the mid '90's!

Our chunky computer made the strangest noises as the dial up connection was made. I found yahoo chat rooms straight away and loved that I could chat with new generation pen pals around the world.

Technology quickly evolved , and as I got older it started to be a tool for emailing and effectively finding information for auditions and opportunities. 

Fast forward to 2019 and I can use my smart phone like a computer with constant internet access.

Internet access is a necessity for my business. 

When I first used the Internet it was as a hobby and now so much has changed that it's paramount to so many businesses.  

I have started to explore what has changed over the years with the development of technology :

• Type of usage 
• Frequency of usage 
• Interactivity 

Interactivity levels have surged thanks to Web 2.0. The link below is very useful :

Social media is a huge part of every day lives for myself and many other people. How many times have you checked your social media today??

( I'm afraid to answer that question for myself !)

These developments in blogging and web-based communities have made it possible for me to do my distance based learning degree. Something I didn't realise would be possible for me to do. And for that I'm eternally grateful :)
