13-15 correlates to 1995 for me. Prior to that, most people didn't even have internet. I can't even remember what that was like.

We first got AOL in 1993 and I had my own screen name, when I was 11, so I picked 10 to 12. But yeah...I don't even remember life before internet anymore. Or cell phones. How did anyone ever meet up without cell phones?

i had a cell phone from 99-04 and then got rid of it. i found that no one called me on my home number. no one invited me anywhere. it was lame. i got a new phone this past summer and suddenly everyone calls me. no one likes calling home phones, everyone is weird about someone other than you picking up. i guess i'm kinda like that too.

my bad, rethinking it, we got aol in 94. so i was 13 i guess. for some reason i didn't think i had it till freshman year, but we definitely had it when i was in eighth grade because my teacher called it "ameriCAN online" and we had a conversation about how it was really americA online. how funny that i remember this.

I get that way. When my contract expires in 2008, however, I plan to go back to only using a landline. I need to cut that electronic umblical cord to the outside world.

I was 10-12 and everyone in our school got one. This was when I was in 6th grade, so 1994? It was CLN (Community Learners Network, I think) and was a network based out of our school. I think we may have only been able to email others on CLN when it first debuted.

Which begs the question, as a seven year old in 1990...who were you emailing?

10-12 . . . and I was born in 1980 if that tells you how hardcore I am.

OK. I just poked around your journal after seeing a post in the Mac OS community.

So you are a teacher? I am a student teacher.

I'm an intern teacher actually, which is basically a student teacher, only I'm in grad school. What subject do you teach?
