Hmm, it was before I'd been to school yet, so I'd say age 5, maybe? My mom works for a local High School so she brought home one of their old Macintosh computers they were going to throw away in the early '90's. I might've even been as young as 4 when I first encountered it.

You first owned a computer?

Well... my family owned that computer since I was two or three, I think. I had my own desktop pretty much 24/7 in my room by the time I was 16 or 17. But I never outright owned my own computer until this laptop that I purchased two and a half years ago now. So, officially: 18 years old.

and when you first went on the internet?

We didn't get internet access until we bought our first PC in '95 or '96. A Gateway 2000 with massed.net 28k dial-up access and Windows '95. I recall doing research for a project in 5th grade, which puts me squarely around the age of 10 or so. I guess the first time I went online was probably when I was 9.

It's crazy that technology is now moving so fast that the technological landscape has changed so drastically over the course of just 15 years. It's only going to get crazier as well.

[psycho-squirrel]

First went on a computer, about 7. it was a windows 3.0 back in 1993

First time on the internet, about 8. Internet back then was small and lame. Back in 1994

First time to own my own computer, 19. Graduation present. Back in 2005

[AngryBanana]

Age 6 for all 3 questions.

The first time I can remember using a computer was sometime in the mid-1990s, so I was probably about five or six. It was DOS one with some now legendary games.

You first owned a computer?

Strictly, never, but this computer has been in my room since 2004, and I use it most. I turned fourteen in April 2004.

and when you first went on the internet?

2001, I was eleven. I went on the Nickelodeon website, and within a year and a bit, I was introduced to Newgrounds.

any specific reasons for these times?

Not particularly. We just got new computers sometimes.

Also, I've left out my learning computer I used aged three and four, to prevent me being a smartass.

[Cooldsunshine]

I was 8 for the first one, if by "you owned a computer" you meant "your family" 8 too, otherwise 17 for a laptop, and 8 for the last one too.

So I was basically corrupted at 8.

You mean when we ourselves owned one or when our parents owned one?

I was 10 years old

[CefyJr]

I don't even remember when. It was a long time ago, though. I had a Packard Bell. The computer itself sucked (However, I didn't really know what a good computer was at the time) but the games it came with were AWESOME! My favorites were this game where you run away from a cat (you're a mouse) and this game where you ski. The ski one was kinda like this. , but you were a ski guy in the game I remember.

Also, the first internet cartoon series I started watching was Stainboy. It took about an hour to load, though.
