1.)I guess you could say that I am a "digital native". The internet wasn't used very often where I was from until I was in middle school. When it was used, it was mainly used for school purposes. While at home, I don't really remember there being any sites that people went to other than hotmail, but as I grew older, I found more and more sites myself, and as time passed by, I became more and more familiar with the internet and what it had to offer even though it has been in my life since I was in the 3rd grade.
2.) My earliest memories of using the web would be in my 4th grade computer lab class. Absolutely nobody had any clue of what we were doing, and now looking back, neither did our teachers. We were limited to a few websites that we were allowed to use, mainly google and yahoo. I felt terrified of using the internet because it was foreign to me.
3) I use th web constantly now. Anytime I want to know the answer to something, get a recipe, get in touch with people I grew up with, do research....the answers are always there. I guess you could say that I love the web, and I am the person that my family comes to when they have a question. My parents and grandparents now have myspace and facebook accounts! Which is somewhat sad....I feel as if nothing is sacred anymore knowing that they can see what I am doing everyday based on status and photo updates.
