Pinay in States: Aloha Friday: Reminiscing how Computer changed my Life

It's Friday again and it's time for Aloha Friday, a weekly meme by An Island Life.

A few days ago, I was looking for a net book online for myself to use, since our old desktop was broke. So then, my husband and I were using our laptop for almost a day which is not a good thing I guess because it might fried it or something, but hopefully not.
Anyway, I have found some and I hope I can buy one before the next school start next year. So, in the midst of it, I was thinking of myself, wow! Now, I am more into technology. Aside from shopping online, now I can able to just use computer whenever I wanted to. It reminds me of when did I start using a computer.

To fast forward: I did use computer when I was 16 years old, it was way year 1999. One of our class in home economics, let us choose what course to take. So I took Computer education at that time. It was sweet since it was my first time using a computer and to learn some new stuff about it. Even then, we're using that huge floppy disk. So when I went to college, it was year 2000. I was so into it and truly explore the world of Internet, chatting, emails, networking, and etc.

From 2001 until now, it indeed changed my life for better, I met my husband on the net too. I met new people and some new friends. I even found a lot of things to do using computer and Internet. I have learn how to blog, create my own blog layout. Got help from friends who are expert on blog layout. It was so cool! Although, there are some bad things about computer and Internet, but I guess it depends on the person how to deal with it.

So, here's my question for this week:

Do you remember the things you did when you first started using the Web and how it has changed your life?
