In the beginning, there was 2.0

I started using the internet in 1997. After many months of complaining to my parents about being the only family, besides the Amish, that didn't have internet, they finally broke down and got hooked up. I was in tenth grade, and at the time, most of my friends were already online. I first only used it for updates on the latest news for video games and sports, but then dabbled in the ever notorious AOL chatrooms. One can only be asked "a/s/l ?" so many times before you get sick of it that I dropped that fairly quickly. I have always tried to stay connected, using the internet mostly for entertainment and school research. I keep in touch with a few friends, but don't really get involved in the whole social networking online. I have a Facebook and Myspace account that I rarely check. I do use iTunes for my iPod. I still keep up with movie and video game news and updates, and once a day I check sports scores and news.
