Remember when..

When did you start using the internet? What did you use it for? What are your memories of what the web was like 10 years ago?


Back in 1999, I had no idea about the core concepts of the internet, nor did I care.  I used it to research for a few school projects but the main area I partook in was the Yahoo chat rooms.  This and instant messengers were really the only form of interaction people had (that I know of).  Its just amazing when you look back just 10 years and see how far the web has come.


What do you use the web for now? Did you realize the transition from web 1 to web 2.0? What tools of web 2.0 do you participate in?


I'm very interested to hear your thoughts on the web today or even what you envisage it to be in another 10 years.
