The Internet: A cautionary tale of wasted time and nostalgia

20.10.14



Dear Internet,  It's been a long time since we first met. The first time I laid eyes on you, you weren't very advanced. Your UI was messy and for some reason you were obsessed with the colour grey. I never really had proper internet at home. Tesco dial up was the most modern it got. I think it was something like 1p for every minute you were on there, and we were never on there for long to be honest (it was shocking, sorry internet).

HOWEVER, you were also kind to me, providing me with hours of entertainment with my mate. Me and him used to go to the local library, get an hour on the computers and booted up  http://www.miniclip.com/  and spent an hour every saturday hacking and slashing our way through basic flash games. Seriously. The amount of time I spent on your games was insane and you know what? I don't regret it for a second.


Ah yes, social media. I didn't really understand you when I was younger. I never really got into bebo or MSN and the fact that I only joined Facebook in 2009 shows that I don't have much of a record with you. HOWEVER, we have had our fair share of experiences. Here is a collection of my first Facebook statuses.

I don't even know what they mean. I am embarrassed.


I now understand why not many people liked me.

BUT I'VE CHANGED I PROMISE I GOT 15 LIKES ON A PHOTO ONCE.

*ahem*
