Group Conversion on 1st internet experience

It was interesting hearing the differences between my first internet experience and my class mates in my group. My first internet experience was influenced heavily by my older brother who showed me how to download music off of Napster. The other members of my group for the most part said that their parents were the first people to open their eyes to the internet. One member of our group said that her first experience with the internet was planning a trip to Florida with her father. Getting directions on MapQuest and booking a hotel. Another member of the group claimed that her first experience was playing online games and using AIM to talk to friends. The remaining member said her experience was at her Middle school. So there was a rather wide range of answers. The conversation then went on to what other internet advances really amazed us. For example the introduction to wireless internet, the first time we encountered a mobile device with internet capability. We also discussed how the rise of social media really changed how we use the internet. We talked about how social media evolved from AIM to MySpace to Facebook and Twitter. It was fun to hear how other interacts with the internet and how that interaction has evolved over the past ten or so years.
