computers made me love again

1) Describe your first experiences with computers and the internet. A. What was your first computer? What did you use it for? How did you react to it? Describe your memory to the best of your ability.

I can remember my first time using the internet. The first computer (laptop) I've ever used was the one that my neighbor's sister brought over when I was about seven or eight years old. The neighbors has a son that's my age, so when we were young he would come over to hang out. When his sister brought it over, their son acted pretty intelligent about it and made it seem like I was inferior because I didn't know what it was, but okay. The first website I ever went on was y8.com. I don't know if that website is still relevant and popular anymore. He pulled it up because it's a website full of games that ran easy with the laptop. One of our first games was an RPG/Adventure game and we (the son, my brother, and I) had so much fun taking turns on that game. I honestly thought the laptop and the internet was the next best thing. Prior, I mainly played games on my DS and Gameboy but this was a huge step up. Overtime, I would beg my mom to let me go over to their house so we could play more games on that same website on the actual computer they had at home. I won't lie, I was selfish about it but oh well. I was eight.

My first actual computer was from a company called Vaio. It looks like this:

 

My dad bought it for me for my tenth birthday. I instantly fell in love with it because now I didn't have to beg my mom and uncle to let me borrow their phones to play games on! Anyways, I didn't use it for games that much anymore. I spent a lot of my time on social media and Skype in order to talk to my friends. Those days were really enjoyable because they were carefree. I spent lots of time during the week on my laptop lol. Okay, I lied. Now that I'm thinking about it, I actually spent a lot of time playing games on this too.
