My local newspaper (yes, they still exist in some places) told me today is the 40th anniversary of the internet. As none of us could be here arguing with each other to the point of... pointlessness without it, let's raise a glass to 40 years of "a place for angry people to yell at each other" and celebrate with some stories of how the internet has affected your life in large or small ways.

Lose millions when the .com bubble burst? Offered millions by a disposed Nigerian prince? Meet the love of your life? For those of you over 40, please, entertain us with stories of the 'before times' and how your witnessing of the evolution of the internet has changed your life.

When I was a young boy, us middle class boys would get on daddy's typewriter and make humorous jokes like "Over 9000" and "The pool is closed".
