My earliest memory of the Internet is of when my parents finally broke down and bought a computer. The first site I logged on to was the home page of Keiko, the Orca who played in "Free Willy." I sat for the longest time and watched live camera footage of him swimming by. It was amazing. The Orca became my favorite animal. I even have one tattooed on my foot as a symbol of strength, beauty, and fierceness.
I use the web now basically for entertainment purposes. I Facebook everyday and always check my various email accounts. I might go so far as to say that I'm addicted to these things. I also have a private blog over which I write up about my days, thoughts, and feelings, basically making it a diary of sorts. Then there is Instant Messaging. I use that to stay in contact with friends who are far away. The guy I talk to on it most is in Washington, DC, for example.
The web is also how I survive the world of college. I do most of the research for my papers on it. The web is very helpful in that respect.
