The web... I've used it since I was 18. That would be about 13 years. It seemed so incredible to me when I first used it. I would travel a half hour to my friend's house just to use MiRC, which was/is(?) a popular (still is? isn't?) chat program.
I don't chat anymore. Nowadays, I probably take the web for granted, and really have no "strange feeling of awe that takes over me" like I used to. I don't think that it could ever evoke a response in me like it did at first.
I use the web in almost the same way everyday... I check my two email accounts, browse Craigslist and participate in my online courses. If I have some extra time, I look at the WWE webpage, Youtube, some gardening sites, take some surveys (paid ones), go on Webkinz, or surf for whatever I might have on my mind, or on a piece of paper, to study about on the Web...I am a Wikipedia addict.
I truly love the Web. My first experiences with it was like the beginning of a passionate love affair. It was very intense, and I couldn't get of it. Now, it is a part of my everyday life, and I rely on for various reasons. It helps me with a lot of things, gives me happiness, and entertains me.
